CLR-C1-MDW IM V1 02192020
Description
The CLR-C1-MDW Mini Door Window Sensor is a
supervised sensor that detects the opening and closing
of doors or windows. The sensor and magnet are
mounted using screws (included) or double-sided
adhesive tape (included). When activated, the sensor
transmits an open (trip) or close (restore) signal to the
panel. These are the signals the unit provides:
supervisory, tamper and low battery (as needed). The
sensor is powered by (2) replaceable 3-VDC, lithium
coin-cell batteries.
Installation Guidelines
• Mounting the sensor on metal can affect the
transmitting range and magnet gap performance.
Therefore, test the sensor from the desired location
using the installer sensor test, before permanently
mounting it.
• Mount the sensor within 100 ft. of the panel.
• Mount the sensor on the frame, and the magnet on the
door, window or drawer. If mounting on double doors,
mount the sensor on the least used door and the magnet
on the other door.
• Mount sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to
avoid damaging them.
• The sensors can be mounted to either wood or
metallic surfaces.
• The magnet should be mounted within 5/8” (15.88
mm) of the sensor. Desired operation should be checked
before permanent installation.
• After mounting the sensor, retest the sensor using the
procedure in the section “Testing the Sensor”.
Programming
The following steps describe the general guidelines for
programming the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the
specific panel’s documentation for complete
programming details.
1. Set the panel to the program mode.
2. Proceed to the SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor
number assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor for
learning by remove the sensor cover and if present pull
the battery pull tabs or enter the sensor ID#. The system
should acknowledge the sensor by touchpad display
and/or audio (depending on the panel).
5. Exit program mode.
Testing the Sensor
1. Set the panel to the sensor test mode.
2. Take the sensor and magnet to the desired mounting
location, making sure to line up their alignment marks
with each other. Trip the sensor by pulling the magnet
away from the sensor.
3. Monitor the system after tripping the sensor. Refer to
the specific panel documentation for interpretation of the
results to ensure desired signal strength is achieved.
Note: If a low battery alarm occurs, replace the battery
within 7 days.
CAUTION: Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not
recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Mounting the Sensor
Mount the sensor using the supplied mounting screws
for permanent mounting installations or using the
supplied double-sided tape is optional.
Note: The gap between the sensor and magnet should
not exceed a maximum of 3/8”.
Mounting Screws
1. Remove the sensor base from the sensor.
2. Place the sensor base in desired location and mount
the base with the supplied screws. Attach the sensor to
the base.
3. Mount the magnet into the desired location using the
supplied screw and lock washer, making sure the
alignment mark lines up with the sensor mark.
Double-Sided Tape
1. Before applying double-sided tape, ensure that the
desired location is a smooth, clean and dry surface.
Note: When applying the double-sided tape, evenly
apply pressure to ensure a good surface contact.
2. Apply double-sided tape to the bottom of the sensor
and the magnet. Mount the sensor and magnet at the
desired locations, ensuring the alignment marks line up
with each other.
For Additional Tamper Security
1. Punch out the tamper cover on the bottom of the
sensor, and using the small screw secure it to the
mounting location, when the sensor is removed
“tampered” the tab remains providing a tamper condition.
