Determine Bracket and Magnet Location
The Bracket and Magnet should be positioned on
interior side of door within 3/4” of each other.
NOTE: INSTALL SENSORS ONE AT A TIME FOLLOWING
THE STEPS IN THE EXACT ORDER.
Various mounting positions that will work for attaching
Sensors to doors:
Door frame is higher than door. To bring Bracket in
alignment, slide spacer onto the Magnet.
Bracket on angled door frame and Magnet on door.
Place Bracket at 90º angle to Magnet on door. Add
Spacers (If Needed)
If Bracket and Magnet do not align within 3/4”, add
Spacers to either the Bracket or Magnet to make them
level.
Example: Spacer added to Magnet to close the gap
between the Bracket and Magnet to within 3/4”.
Spacers slide on Brackets and Magnets.
NOTE: THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRACKET
AND MAGNET SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 3/4”.
1. Attach double-sided tape to the bottom of the
Magnet.
2. Attach Magnet to the door.
3. Attach double-sided tape to the bottom of the
Bracket.
4. Attach the Bracket to the door frame.
NOTE: THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRACKET AND
MAGNET SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 3/4”.
Install The Sensor
Once the Bracket and Magnet are attached to the door
or window, Sensors may be installed. You will need to
have the Handset with you to install the Sensor.
Remove the battery tab from the Sensor
Enter the Security Menu
Before clipping the Sensor into the Bracket; Press
MENU on your Handset or Console.
1. Scroll to the Security Setup and press SELECT.
2. Enter Code and press SELECT (for an initial
installation the default code is 1234).
3. Scroll to Sensors and press SELECT.
4. Scroll to <Add New> and press SELECT.
5. Scroll to the type of Sensor (Open/Close) and
press SELECT
6. Wait 5 seconds before clipping the Sensor into
the Bracket. You will then have 30 seconds to
complete the installation. The display shows the
time remaining.
NOTE: DO NOT CLIP THE
SENSOR INTO THE BRACKET
UNTIL THE BRACKET AND
MAGNET ARE INSTALLED ON
THE DOOR OR WINDOW.
NOTE: Insufficient Mounting Space: If your door frame
does not provide enough room for mounting the Bracket,
you may need to use a Sensor Extension.
Metal Doors and Windows: If your are mounting a
Magnet to a metal door or metal window, install a
Spacer under the Magnet to maintain performance.
7. Clip the Sensor into the
Bracket.
The Handset will beep when the system nds the
Sensor. This may take a few seconds.
8. Press OK
9. Edit Sensor Name (Optional)
You may change the name now or at a later time.
• To change the Sensor Name, press the DELETE
key to remove the default name.
• Using the keys on your Handset keypad, type in
the desired name. Press OK when complete.
10. Sensor Placement: Scroll to Door or Window.
Press OK.
11. Alarm Type: Scroll to Stay & Away, Away Only,
or Convenience. Press OK.
Stay and Away means the Sensor will be monitored
in both Armed Stay and Armed Away modes (i.e. an
exterior door). Away Only means the Sensor will be
monitored only in Armed Away mode (i.e. an interior
door). Convenience means the Sensor is only used for
text messaging (like a liquor cabinet).
12. Sensor Extension: Scroll to Sensor Only,
Extension, or Both. Press OK.
NOTE: If your window frame does not provide enough
room for mounting the Bracket, you may need to use a
Sensor Extension. See the Sensor Extension Section in
the User Guide.
For standard Sensor installation with the Magnet next to
the Sensor, select “Sensor Only.” A Sensor Extender is
only required if space does not permit the Sensor to be
placed next to the Magnet. In this case, use the Sensor
Extension pictured below. You may also use the Sensor
to monitor two windows by selecting Both. In this case,
the Sensor monitors both a Magnet next to the Sensor
and another Magnet next to the Sensor Extension.
Sensor Extension
Sensor Not Found/Sensor Not Added
If your system cannot detect a Sensor that you are trying
to add, the Handset or Consol will display:
If this occurs, follow the steps below:
1. Isolate Sensor: Remove the Sensor from the
Bracket and add a different Sensor to the same
Bracket. You can obtain more troubleshooting
instructions in the Troubleshooting Section of the
User Guide.
If additional Sensors do not work, proceed to Step 3.
2. Re-Position the Sensor & Bracket: Reset the
Sensor (as shown above) then move the Bracket
and Magnet to a new location (perhaps just a few
inches) up, down or along the door window frame
and retry.
3. Move Grid Controller: Move one of your Grid
Controllers (Console, Base or Grid Extender)
closer to this Sensor mounting location. The most
practical type of Grid Controller to re position is
most likely the Grid Extender.
