4. Remove the unused reed switch, clipping the leads as
close to the board as possible (see Figure 2.)
Figure 2. Door/Window Sensor Circuit Boards
5. Mount the sensor base with screws or brads. Use spac-
ers to compensate for metal surfaces or height varia-
tions.
6. Remove the magnet from its base. Mount the magnet
base no more than 3/8 inches away from the sensor
base (see Figure 3). Replace magnet cover.)

Ìi
Mount the magnet so it won’t interfere with door or
window openings. Do not use two-sided tape.
7. Reattach the circuit board to the sensor base.
8. Reattach the sensor cover to the sensor base.
Connecting External Switches
Door/window sensors can be connected to either normally
open (close on alarm) or normally closed (open on alarm)
external switches. Wire multiple, normally closed switches
in series. Wire multiple, normally open switches in parallel.
Do not attempt to use the built-in reed switches and an
external switch on the same door/window sensor. For high
security installations, always remove both reed switches
when connecting an external switch to the sensor terminals.
Ìi
In UL listed installations, only the normally closed con-
figuration can be used.
Materials Needed
q Hermetically sealed external switches (sealed reed
switch) that supply a minimum 250-millisecond open
or closure on alarm.
q Stranded 22-gauge wire.
q Installation Guidelines
q Do not use solid core wire.
q Do not use mechanical switches.
