Description

The 57A00-1 Vanishing Door/Window Transmitter is a 

supervised wireless contact that works with the Leviton 

45A00-1 Wireless Receiver. It has beveled edges that vanishes 

into any décor. It also features a bypass button that allows 

you to manually bypass the transmitter, which automatically 

restores when the magnet is replaced.

Installing the Battery

The 57A00-1 requires one CR2032 lithium battery. To install the 

battery, remove the cover as indicated in Figure A.

Once cover is removed, insert the battery with the positive (+) 

side up as indicated in Figure B.

Locate Transmitter

Select the location where the 57A00-1 is to be mounted.
NOTE: RF signals can be affected by metal objects, including 

metal doors or large mirrors. Such locations should be avoided 

as they can interfere with proper operation.

Mounting the 57A00-1

Once you have determined the proper location, the 57A00-1 

can be permanently mounted using the supplied adhesive tape.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the 

57A00-1 is securely mounted in the intended location.

Using Adhesive Tape

Ensure that the surface is clean and dry.  Apply the supplied 

tape to the back of the 57A00-1, press and hold fi rmly in the 

desired location for approximately 10-15 seconds. It can 

take up to 24 hours for the tape to reach maximum bonding 

strength.

Mounting the Magnet

Align the magnet with the 3 notches on the 57A00-1 housing.  

Mount the magnet a maximum of .4” from the 57A00-1 by using 

the supplied tape.

Enrolling the 57A00-1

To enroll the 57A00-1, put the 45A00-1 Wireless Receiver 

into Setup mode and advance to an unused address 

location.  Activate the reed switch by removing the magnet 

from the transmitter for 1 second, then replacing it.  Refer 

to the Installation Instructions for the 45A00-1 for additional 

information.

Using the Bypass Button

To temporarily bypass the transmitter so that you can open 

an armed door or window without causing an alarm, press the 

center of the transmitter and hold for 5 seconds.  Once you 

remove your fi nger, you will notice that the LED behind the 

transmitter’s front panel will begin to blink.
While the LED is blinking, the transmitter will not transmit any 

signals to the receiver (you may open the door or window while 

the LED is blinking without causing an alarm).
