Magnetic Contact (EL-2601)

The EL‐2601 is a magnetic contact designed for installation on doors and windows.
The EL‐2601 implements a feature to combat the problem of multiple transmissions that drastically
reduce the life of the batteries. After each detection, the detector initiates a three‐minute delay during
which transmissions will not be sent. When batteries need replacing, the EL‐2601 sends a low battery
indication to the Control System.

Installation Procedure
To install magnetic contacts:
1. To open the housing, insert a small screwdriver at the bottom of the unit between the
front and back cover and twist the screwdriver to release the cover.
2. Remove the divider separating the battery from the contacts on the battery holder. When
you apply power and the tamper switch is open, the EL‐2601 enters Test mode during
which a transmission is sent every few seconds. You can terminate the Test mode by
closing the tamper switch. Test mode is automatically terminated after approximately
five minutes.
Due to the occurrence of voltage delay in lithium batteries that have been in storage, the
batteries may initially appear to be dead. In this case, leave the unit in Test mode for a few
minutes until the battery voltage level is stabilized.
3. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
4. Select the zone to which you want to register the transmitter; the system initiates
Registration mode. When Save? appears on the Control System's LCD display, press ʹ√ʹ.
5. After registration, press the EL‐2601's tamper switch to terminate Test mode.
6. Before permanently mounting the unit, test the transmitter from the exact mounting
position
The alarm is generated by magnet removal at 24 (+/‐ 0.5) mm and is cleared by magnet
