Magnetic Contact Detectors
The Magnetic contact comprises two parts; a
Detector and a Magnet. They are designed to be
fitted to doors or windows with the Magnet
mounted on the opening part and the Detector
mounted on the fixed frame. Opening the protected
door/window will remove the magnetic field, trigger
the Detector and generate an alarm condition, (if the
system is armed).
The Detector is powered by two CR2032 type Lithium
cells which under normal conditions will have an
expected life in excess of 1 year.
battery conditions the LED on the Detector will not
illuminate when the Detector is triggered, (unless in
test mode). However, under low-battery conditions
this LED will be illuminated for approx. 1 second
when the detector is triggered. When this occurs the
batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to
connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
additional contact must be of a normally closed
contact type with the contacts being opened in order
to generate an alarm condition.
Positioning the Magnetic
Contact Detector
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for
mounting in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors/windows are to be protected
by Magnetic Contact Detectors, (as a minimum
usually the front and back doors will have Magnetic
Contact Detectors fitted).
also be added where required to other vulnerable
doors or windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory
doors etc).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic
Contact Detector is within effective range of the Siren.
Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal
frame, or mounting within 1 metre of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the
radio range of the device.

Installing and Configuring the
Magnetic Contact Detector
Ensure that the system is in Service Mode
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it off.
(DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever the cover off).
2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and pulling the connector off the printed
circuit board.

3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame
along the opening edge using either the double
sided adhesive tape or screws provided.
If fixing the Detector with screws; Fit the Keyhole
slot in the top of the Detector over the head of the
smaller panhead screw. Secure the bottom of the
Detector using the 12mm countersunk head screw
fitted within the battery compartment.
need to drill out the centre of the fixing screw hole
using a 3mm drill. Do not over-tighten the fixing
screws as this may distort or damage the casing.
4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the
door / window opposite the Detector using the
adhesive tape or 15mm fixing screws.
Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet
and Detector is less than 10mm and that the
arrow on the Magnet is pointing towards and
aligned with the mark on the Detector.
