Open/Close Sensor Hardware
Reed Switch
Detects whether magnet is within ½” of the main case:
• Closed state when magnet is within ½”
• Opened state when magnet is further than ½”
Jumper
When jumper is installed (default), Open/Close Sensor will send an
INSTEON “on” command when it opens and an “off” command when it
closes. When jumper is uninstalled (as in Multi-Scene Mode), Open/Close
Sensor will activate scene 1 when it opens and activate scene 2 when it
closes.
NOTE: When installing or uninstalling jumper, remove and replace battery
for new jumper setting to take effect
Set Button
• Links other INSTEON devices (responders)
• Controls linked responders (scene 1): Tap to toggle between on
and off
External Sensor Terminals
When using an external sensor, Open/Close Sensor is in closed state when
either external sensor terminals or reed switch are closed. In other words,
Open/Close Sensor opens when both external sensor terminals and reed
switch are open. See Advanced External Sensor Use for more information.
Status LED
Indicates:
• Change in state (open or close)
• Linking/unlinking mode (blinks)
Arrows
Arrows indicate reed switch location inside main case, so magnet should be installed as close as to them as
possible.
Magnet
Included magnet is installed on opposing plane than Open/Close Sensor main case. It should be less than ½” away
from the main case when door/window, etc. is closed and further than ½” when open.
Installation

• If installing on window, with set button between window and battery, gently press to window frame (such that
window will slightly clears it when closing)
5) Press and hold sensor set button for 5 seconds until LED begins blinking
6) For US installations, press and hold nearest Range Extender (previously called Access Point) set button until it
