Micro Door/Window Sensor Installation Sheet

Description

The Micro Door/Window Sensor is a
supervised, wireless sensor that detects the
opening and closing of doors, windows or
drawers. The sensor and magnet are mounted
using screws (included) for UL installations and
double-sided adhesive tape (included) for non-
UL installations.

When activated, the sensor transmits an open
(trip) or close (restore) signal to the panel.
These are the signals the unit provides:
supervisory, tamper and low battery (as
needed). The sensor is powered by a
replaceable 3-VDC, lithium coin-cell battery.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting the sensor on metal can affect
the transmitting range and magnet gap
performance. Therefore, test the sensor
from the desired location using the installer
sensor test, before permanently mounting
it.

Mount the sensor within 100 ft. of the
panel.

Mount the sensor on the frame, and the
magnet on the door, window or drawer. If
mounting on double doors, mount the
sensor on the least used door and the
magnet on the other door.

Mount sensors at least 5 inches above the
floor to avoid damaging them.

The sensors can be mounted to either
wood or metallic surfaces.

The magnet should be mounted within
5/16” (8 mm) for wood or ¼” (6 mm) for
metal installations. Based on the magnet
mounting spacing, direction of operation
and material of the mounting surface, the
gap for opening will vary between 1/8” (3
mm) and 1 ¾” (44 mm). Desired operation
should be checked before permanent
installation.

After mounting the sensor, retest the
sensor using the procedure in the section
“Testing the Sensor”.

Programming

The following steps describe the general
guidelines for programming (learning) the
sensor into panel memory. Refer to the specific
panel’s documentation for complete
programming details.

1.

Set the panel to the program mode.

2.

Proceed to the LEARN SENSORS menu.

3. Select the appropriate sensor group and

sensor number assignments.

4.

When prompted by the
panel to trip the sensor
for learning, remove the
battery pull tab or remove
the sensor cover. The
system should
acknowledge learning
the sensor by touchpad
display and/or audio
(depending on the panel).

5.

Exit program mode.

Testing the Sensor (Test Weekly)

1.

Set the panel to the sensor test mode.

2.

Take the sensor and magnet to the desired
mounting location, making sure to line up
their alignment marks with each other. Trip
the sensor by pulling the magnet away
from the sensor.

3.

Monitor the system after tripping the
sensor. Refer to the specific panel
documentation for interpretation of the
results

to ensure desired signal strength

is achieved.

Note: If a low battery alarm occurs, replace the
battery within 7 days.

CAUTION: Battery may explode if
mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble or dispose of in fire.

La batterie peut exploser si maltraités.
Veuillez ne pas la recharger, la
démonter ou la jeter dans le feu.
