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
The following illustrations and procedure describe how to
install the Door/Window sensor.
Figure 1. Sensor and Magnet Positions and Alignment
To install Door/Window sensors:
1. Remove the sensor cover by pressing the button on the
narrow end.
2. Remove the batteries to access the mounting holes.
3. Mount the sensor base with two #6 flathead screws at
the locations shown in Figure 2 If you need to connect
external switches, they should be installed at this point.
Use the procedure for connecting external switches.

4. Remove the magnet from its base. Line up the arrow on
the magnet with the mark on the sensor.
5. Mount the magnet base no more than 3/8-inch away
from the sensor base. Replace the magnet cover.
6. Re-install the batteries and circuit board; and attach the
sensor cover to the sensor base.
