moved, unit automatically re-arms) and can be converted to a
manual "On/Off" mode (allowing the operator to manually arm

Installation is divided into 5 main steps: (A) Preliminary, (B)
Wiring, (C) Configuration, (D) Mounting and (E) Testing.
1. Choose a suitable location.
mounted on a door, and the Magnetic Actuator is mounted
to (or inside) the door jamb. However, if the PG21 will
have a doorbell or any external wiring, give careful consid-
eration to the mounting location and make allowances for
all necessary wiring. For example, if you wish to monitor
multiple doors, choose a generally central location as
wires (and reed switch contacts) will need to run to all
doors in series. If you mount the PG21 on a door, the
Baseplate must be mounted far enough away from the
edge of the door to prevent unit from striking the door jam
when opening the door.
2. Examine the enclosed template.
plate provides mounting hole locations (drawn in solid cir-
cular lines) for several door types. Use the four corner
holes for the Baseplate as shown on the template. Note:
Certain narrow-stile doors require only two holes for the
Baseplate.
3. Mark and drill holes (use 1/8" bit, 1" deep) on the door
and jamb as per the template directions. Hole locations
are drawn in solid circular lines.
4. External Wiring. Mark and drill the hole (shown on the
template) for external wiring such as doorbell, reed switch
or relay wiring.
5. Knock out the necessary holes from the Baseplate and
install on the door with the supplied #8 sheet-metal
screws.
6. Temporarily mount the Housing Cover into the Base-
plate to aid in positioning the Magnetic Actuator location.
Mount as follows: Remove all keys from cylinder (thus
ensuring the cylinder is in a 12:00 position). Hold the
Housing Cover vertically with the inside facing toward you
(the PC board and jumpers can been seen at bottom),
slide the switch to the right. (Note: Each time the Hous-
ing Cover is removed, the switch MUST be moved to the
right before mounting). Hook the Housing Cover into the
clip at the bottom of the Baseplate, then gently snap the
top of the Housing cover into the top of the Baseplate. DO
NOT FORCE. Note: If the switch is in the wrong position
(not moved to the right), or if a key is accidentally left in-
side the cylinder, the Housing Cover is specifically de-
signed NOT to lock into the Baseplate.
