INSTALLING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT
Within your package, there is one wireless
Magnetic Contact. Its purpose is to detect the
opening of a door or a window.
The Magnetic Contact has two halves, which are
fitted to each side of a door or window. One half
is the transmitter and the other is the magnet.
Fig 5.
Fig 5.
As soon as the Magnetic Contact is installed,
any break in the circuit will trigger an alert
message to be sent to the Control Panel. The
Magnetic Contact in your package has been
pre-programmed as FRONT DOOR. This means
the sensor is defined as an ENTRY DELAY, giving
you 45 seconds when you enter and leave your
home before the siren sounds.
You can change this setting later if you desire.
If you wish to use the sensor on a window it is
recommended that you later change this to
HOME & HOUSE or HOME (see Section 3 for
further details).
To install the Magnetic Contact, follow these
instructions:
ACTIVATING THE BATTERY
• Remove the transmitter cover by unscrewing
the closure screw. Fig 6.
Fig 6.
• Gently pull apart the base from the cover.
• Remove the red tag from the battery and check
that the LED flashes.
• Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
LOCATING
• Mount the transmitter on a fixed surface such
as a door or window frame.
• Mount the magnet on a movable surface such
as a door or window.
• The transmitter side marked with a ^ must face
the magnet.
• The transmitter and the magnet must be no
more than 6mm (0.25") apart.
• Spacers are provided with your Magnetic
Contact mounting kit. If you have an uneven
surface which prevents the transmitter and the
magnet from aligning correctly, e.g. PVC doors
or windows, you may wish to use the spacers.
Follow the instructions below for ‘Mounting
with Screws’ but use a spacer to lift either the
transmitter, magnet or both a short distance
away from the surface to which it is to be
mounted.
MOUNTING USING ADHESIVE
• Ensure the mounting surface is clean.
• The adhesive is double sided. Peel back one
layer of the protective film and attach to the
transmitter.
• Peel back the remaining layer of protective film
and hold the transmitter firmly in place against
the mounting surface until firmly attached.
• Repeat with the magnet.
• After fixing the detector in place with the
adhesive the strength of the bond will increase
as time passes. 50% of strength will be
achieved after leaving for 20 minutes and 100%
of strength will be achieved after 72 hours.
