Installation Procedure
To install magnetic contacts.
1. To open the housing, insert a small screwdriver at the bottom of the unit between the front and back
cover and twist the screwdriver to release the cover.
2. Remove the divider separating the battery from the contacts on the battery holder. When you apply
power and the Tamper switch is open, the EL-2601 enters Test mode during which a transmission is
sent every few seconds. You can terminate the Test mode by closing the Tamper switch. Test mode is
automatically terminated after approximately five minutes.
Note: Due to the occurrence of voltage delay in lithium batteries that have been in storage, the batteries may
initially appear to be dead. In this case, leave the unit in Test mode for a few minutes until the battery
voltage level is stabilized.
3. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
4. Select the zone to which you want to register the transmitter; the system initiates Registration mode. When
Save? appears on the Control System’s LCD display, press .
5. After registration, press the EL-2601’s tamper switch to terminate Test mode.
6. Before permanently mounting the unit, test the transmitter from the exact mounting position
Note: The alarm is generated by magnet removal at 24 (+/- 0.5) mm and is cleared by magnet approach at 22
(+/- 0.5) mm.
7. To remove the PCB, press the PCB release tab and carefully lift the board and slide the board away
from the back cover.
Caution: When handling the PCB, do not apply pressure on the antenna.
8. The EL-2601 is able to operate in three modes: Magnetic Switch, Universal Transmitter or a
combination of the two. If connecting a wired contact loop (N.C.), connect the terminal block as
follows: 1 - Alarm; 2 - GND. For this purpose, a wiring knockout is provided in the back cover.
9. If using the rear tamper switch, insert a screw into the rear tamper mounting hole located in the center
of the back cover – see p. 97, Figure B- 9. When the detector is removed from the wall, the screw causes
the tamper release to break away from the back cover and the rear tamper switch is released.
10. Mount the back cover using two screws and replace the PCB. Use ISO 7050 (ST3.5 x 22), #6 X ¾ or
similar countersunk screws so that the screw head will not touch the PCB – see p.97, Figure B- 8.
11. To open the magnet’s housing, insert a small screwdriver into one of the pry-off slots located at either
end of the magnet’s back cover and lift to separate from the front cover.
12. Mount the back cover of the magnet using two screws. Make sure that the guideline on the magnet is correctly
aligned with the guideline on the transmitter.
Note: Do not install the magnet further than 1cm (0.4") from the transmitter.
13. Test the transmitter, making certain that the LED is lit when opening the door/window and again
when closing.
14. Close the front covers of the transmitter and the magnet.
EL-2601 complies with EN-50131 2-6 Grade 2 Class II Power Supply Type C
Universal Transmitter (EL-2602)
The EL-2602 is a universal transmitter that includes a single output for use in a wide range of wireless applications.
When batteries need replacing, the EL-2602 sends a low battery indication to the Control System.
