INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Product Summary
The Door/Window Sensor can be installed on doors,
windows, or virtually anything that opens and closes.
During normal operation, the sensors transmit open
(TRIP) and close (RESTORE) signals to the panel.
The sensors also send a supervisory signal to the
panel every 64 minutes.
Sensors transmit open and close signals to the panel
when a magnet (mounted near the sensor) is moved
away from or closer to the sensor.
The sensor is powered by a 3.6-volt lithium battery.
Tools Needed
#6 flathead screws or 18-gauge brads
Screwdriver or brad driver
Small wire cutters
Sensor and magnet spacers (optional)
Installation Guidelines
Keep all sensors within 100 feet of the panel.
Mount the sensor on the door frame and the mag-
net on the door. If the sensor is to be used on dou-
ble doors, mount the sensor on the least used door
and the magnet on the other door.
Mount sensors with screws or brads, not double-
sided tape.
Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to
avoid damaging them.
Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and
magnets away from metal or metallic surfaces
such as foil wallpaper.

Avoid mounting sensors in areas with a large
quantity of metal or electrical wiring, such as a
furnace or utility room.
Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will
be exposed to moisture.
Avoid mounting sensors in locations where the
operating temperature (10 ° to 120 ° F) will be
exceeded.
Installation
CAUTION:
You must be free of all static electricity when
handling electronic components. Touch a
grounded, bare metal surface before touch-
ing a circuit board or wear a grounded wrist
strap.
1) Decide if the sensor should be mounted horizon-
tally or vertically by locating the alignment
marks on the sensor and magnet plastic (see Fig-
ure 1.)
The marks indicate reed switch locations. Each
sensor uses only one of the two switches. You
will remove the unused switch in step 4.
