Mini Door Contact (MDC-5) User Manual
The Mini Door Contact monitors the opening/closing of specified devices (e.g. door or window). The Door Contact
is fixed to the monitored door/window frame with an actuating magnet fixed to the door/window. 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 Mini Door Contact also has the capabilities of communicating signal problems along with low battery situations.
The front and back tamper switches provide tamper protection against unauthorized cover opening and device
removal.
