We recommend you mo unt the magnet uni t on a
door, window, or medic ine cabinet, an d mount the
sensor unit on i ts respecti ve frame.
You can use the spacers pr ovided if there i s a
differenc e in level between th e door and the
frame. The space r will help to align yo ur sensor
to the correc t height. You can also use a s pacer
if the frame is too n arrow or has some de corative
molding.
NOTES
You can mount the sen sor unit with mounting t ape first,
and then use s crews later if you decide to mo unt it at

Make sure the mo unting surface is cle an. A textured
surface or any imp erfections to a smooth sur face can
keep the mountin g tape from maki ng a strong bond.
Align the mag net unit with sensor uni t when mounting.
The distan ce between the sensor un it and magnet unit
must be less t han 1 cm (0.4 inch).
