Installation Instructions
Product Summary
Door/Window Sensors can be installed on doors, windows,
or many other objects that open and close. The sensors
transmit signals to the Control Panel when a magnet
mounted near the sensor is moved away from or closer to
the sensor.
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing Door/Window
sensors.
❑ Mount the sensor on the door frame and the magnet on
the door. If the sensor is to be used on double doors,
mount the sensor on the least-used door and the magnet
on the other door.
❑ If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel.
While a transmitter may have a range of 500 feet or
more out in the open, the environment at the installa-
tion site can have a significant effect on transmitter
range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.
❑ Make sure the alignment arrow on the magnet points to
the alignment mark on the sensor.
❑ Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to avoid
damaging them.
❑ Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will be
exposed to moisture or where the operating tempera-
ture (10°-120°F) will be exceeded.
❑ Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and magnets
away from metal or metallic surfaces such as foil wall-
paper.
Materials Needed
❑ #6 flathead screws
❑ Screwdriver or brad driver
