Door Contact (DC-16SL-F1) User Manual
The Door Contact monitors the opening/closing of specified devices (e.g. door or window). The Door Contact is fixed to the
monitored device frame with an actuating magnet fixed to the device. When the door or window opens, the magnet moves
away from the Door Contact, activating an internal magnetic switch causing the Door Contact to transmit alarm signal to the
Control Panel. The device also has the capabilities of communicating signal problems along with low battery situations.
The Door Contact design is consisted of a cover and base. The cover contains all electronics and the base provides a
means for fixing the device.

When enabled, the Door Contact will automatically transmit Supervisory signals periodically to the Control
Panel at random intervals of 30 to 50 minutes.
If the Control Panel has not received the signal from the Door Contact for a preset period time, the Control
Panel will indicate that particular Door Contact is experiencing an out-of-signal problem.

The Door Contact uses one
3V CR2 Lithium battery
as its power source, it is also capable of detecting low battery.
When the battery is low, a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular transmission. The
LED will light up when the Door Contact is activated under low battery status. When battery is exhausted, the Door
Contact will stop all function and the LED will flash every 4 seconds.
Jumper On
The jumper link is inserted
Jumper Off
if the jumper link is removed or “
parked
” on one pin.
