Installation Hints
Please consider the following points when mounting the sensor:
•
The homesight Wireless Door/Window Sensor is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Do not install
the sensor where it is subjected directly to the elements.
•
This device's communication range is up to 60 ft (18 m) from the Wireless System Controller in a typical
home, depending on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and other
wireless devices operating at 418 MHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried for optimal
results.
Installing Your Door/Window Sensor
The spacing between the sensor and the contact should be between 1/10 inch and 1/2 inch (.25 cm to 1.27
cm).
Mount Your Door/Window Sensor
Discover your sensor before mounting it.
1
Using the supplied double-sided tape, peel one side of the paper strip and place it on the back of the
sensor. Peel the other side of the tape and place the sensor in the location desired. (See the diagram for
sample mounting.)
2
You can also mount the sensor more securely using the screws in the hardware kit. Using the drilling
template found later in this guide, drill two pilot holes for the screws. Affix the screws to the door or
window frame), leaving 1/16" (1.6 mm) space betwe
onto the screws and slide down to lock into place.
Warning: When mounting near a window, drilling too close to the glass cou
break the glass, possibly cause it to shatter, and cause injury. The window
extends deeper into the frame than
is beyond the glass before drilling.
Install the Magnetic Contact
