NOTICE!
Verify that the home
automation or security system
is powered up and operating.
Then, put the system or
control panel into pairing
mode.
Pairing the detector with the controller:
1. With the detector in pairing mode, go to
the home automation or security system
and complete the pairing process
according to the system manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. When pairing is complete, the detector
enters test mode, and is ready for
installation. If the system does not
discover the detector within 2 minutes,
the detector exits pairing mode. Restart
pairing mode by either opening/closing
the cover, moving the magnet, or
powering the detector off, then on .
The LED provides feedback during
installation or test mode.

Identify and test desired mounting locations before you permanently install the detector and
magnet. Refer to Section 3 for installation guidelines.
Mounting the detector and magnet:
1. Select a location for the detector on a stationary surface of an interior door or window
frame. The exception is double hung windows, where the detector is mounted to a
moving sash. Temporarily mount the detector.
2. Place the magnet near the detector and move it to the desired mounting location, making
sure the alignment marks on the detector and magnet align. Place the magnet and
detector side by side, and as close together as possible. The LED flash rate indicates the
strength of the magnetic field. The LED turns off at the optimal placement of the magnet
to the detector. Temporarily mount the magnet. The recommended magnet gap distance
is 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
3. To verify proper RF signal strength, open the door or window and check the color of the
LED. If the LED is green, the signal strength is acceptable. If the LED is red, reposition
the magnet and detector, then recheck the LED color. When the device RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indicator) or LQI (Linked Quality Indicator) level is poor, the LED is red.
Refer to Section 4.3, LED Behavior.
4. Open the door or window to test for proper clearance, and alarm operation. When the
distance between the detector and magnet is greater than or equal to 1.3 inches (33
mm), the alarm triggers.
5. When the location is acceptable, permanently mount the detector and magnet using the
double-sided tape on the base. Refer to Figure 4.3. If using screws for mounting, remove the
detector and magnet covers to access the mounting holes. You might have to remove the
tape on the bottom of the detector and magnet bases to mount flush on the surface. Refer
to Figure 4.4 for surface mounting, Section 4.5, and Section 5 for removing the magnet and
detector covers. For additional security, use an adhesive with the screws.

4.5 | Door Window detector bracket mounting
The mounting bracket allows mounting of the magnet on its left or right side (90°), instead
of its base. For example, use the mounting bracket for installations where the detector is
mounted to the inside of a door frame. Refer to Figure 4.5.
Using the mounting bracket:
1. Remove the base of the magnet by inserting a small flat head screwdriver or similar tool
in the slots on either end of the magnet base and carefully pry off.
2. Push the magnet cover onto the bracket.
3. Add a tape strip to the bottom of the bracket.
4. Continue with Section 4.4. If using screws, mount the bracket first, then replace the
magnet cover. Refer to Figure 4.6.
