Whenthemagnet(whichismountednearthesensor)movesaway
fromorclosertothedoorcontact’ssensor,signalsar
etransmittedto

Testing the Thin Door/Window Contact
Beforemountingthedoorcontactatthedesiredlocation,performa
walktesttoverifythatitcanestablishgoodRadioFrequency(RF)
communicationswiththecontr olpanel.
NOTE: TofullytesttheThinDoor/WindowContact,seethe
controlpanel’ sInstallationandProgrammingGuide.
Mounting Guidelines
Usetheseguidelineswheninstallingthedoorcontactforinternal
switchusage:
• MountSensor
swithin100ft(30m)oftheControlPanel.
Althoughthetransmittermayhavearangeof350ft(106.7m)
openair,thesensorlocationcanhaveasignificanteffecton
range.Inopen/unobstructedsituations,thetransmitterrange
maybegreater.Inadversewirelessconditions,changingthe
se
nsororientationmayleadtoimprovedrange.
• MountSensor
satLeast4.7in(12cm)AbovetheFloor.
Placingsensorsslightlyabovefloorlevelhelpstominimize
possiblesensordamage.
• Sin
glevs.DoubleDoorInstallation.Forsingle‐door
installation,mountthesensoronthedoorframeandthe
magnetonthedoor.Fordouble‐doorinstallation,mountthe
sensorontheleast‐useddoorandthemagnetonthemost‐
useddoor.
• DoNo
tExposeSensorstoMoistureorExtremeTemperature.
Itisbesttomountsensorsinadrylocationwherethe
operatingtemperaturedonotexceed32°to120°F(0°to49°
C).
• Ke
epSensorsandMagnetsAwayfromMetal/Metallic
Surfaces.Tokeepsensorsandmagnetsawayfrommetalor
metallicsurfaces(forexample,foilwallpaper),itis
recommendedthatyouusespacers(notincluded).Youshould
alsoavoidmountingsensorsinareaswherethereisalarge
quantityofmetalorelectricalwi
ring(forexample,neara
furnaceorinautilityroom).
• AlignMa
gnetwithSensor.Makesurethealignmentarrowon
themagnetpointstothecenteralignmentmarkonthesensor
(seeFigure1ThinDoor/
WindowContact—Sensorand
Magnet).
