Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4000 Door Switch with bridge enables your
IMS-4000 to detect if any unauthorized entry or intrusion
has occurred. The bridge may be mounted either on a
wall or rest on the floor. The switch is mounted to doors
or windows you wish to monitor. The electrical connec-
tion between the bridge and IMS-4000 is made via RJ-45
patch cable.

Mounting the Door Switch
The door switch is usually installed to function in a normally closed position when the door (or
window or other portal) on which it is mounted is closed. The complete assembly is of two parts: a
magnet in a plastic housing, and a sensor switch with screw terminals in another plastic housing.
Mount the switch by fastening it to the non-moving frame surrounding the door or window. Use
either mounting screws or the adhesive foam tape attached to the switch segments. Fasten the mag-
net near the edge of the movable sash or door. Position the magnet housing no more than

the switch and tighten mounting screws. Use the spacer bar (included) if needed for alignment.
