Product Summary

General Information

Door/Window Sensors can be installed on doors, 
windows, or many other objects that open and close. 
The sensors transmit signals to the Control Panel 
when a magnet mounted near the sensor is moved 
away from or closer to the sensor.

Control Panel Compatibility: 

SIMON ™

Installation Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for installing Door/
Window sensors.

Mount the sensor on the door frame and the 
magnet on the door. If the sensor is to be used 
on double doors, mount the sensor on the 
least-used door and the magnet on the other 
door.

If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of 
the panel. While a transmitter may have a 
range of 500 feet or more out in the open, the 
environment at the installation site can have a 
significant effect on transmitter range. Some-
times a change in sensor location can help 
overcome adverse wireless conditions.

Make sure the alignment arrow on the magnet 
points to the alignment mark on the sensor.

Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor 
to avoid damaging them.

Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they 
will be exposed to moisture or where the oper-
ating temperature (10°-120°F) will be 

exceeded.

Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and 
magnets away from metal or metallic surfaces 
such as foil wallpaper.
