When the protected door or window is closed the
Detector Contact Switch is held closed by the
Magnetic field from the Magnet. Opening the
protected door or window will remove the magnetic
field and allow the Contact Detector Switch to open
generating an alarm signal, (if the system and alarm
zone is armed).
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to
connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
additional contact must be of a normally closed
contact type with the contacts being opened in order
to generate an alarm condition.
Any number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can be
used with the system, providing they are all coded
with the system House Code and are mounted within
effective radio range of the Control Panel.
The Magnetic Contact Detector is powered by two
CR2032 type Lithium cells which under normal
conditions will have an expected life in excess of
1 year. Under normal battery conditions the LED on
the Detector will not illuminate when the Detector is
triggered, (unless in test mode). However, under
low-battery conditions this LED will be illuminated
for approximately 1s when the detector is triggered.
When this occurs the batteries should be replaced
as soon as possible.
POSITIONING THE MAGNETIC
CONTACT DETECTORS
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for
mounting in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors and windows are to be
protected by fitting Magnetic Contact Detectors,
(usually the front and back doors as a minimum will
have Magnetic Contact Detectors fitted). However
additional detectors may be fitted where required to
other more vulnerable doors or windows, (e.g.
garage, patio/conservatory doors etc).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic
Contact detector is within effective range of the
Control Panel. It is recommended that prior to
installation the detector is configured and tested with
the Control Panel in Walk test mode to ensure that
they are within effective range.
Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal
frame, or mounting within 1m of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the
radio range of the device. If required, it may be
necessary to space the magnet and detector away
from the metal surface using a plastic or wooden
spacer to achieve the necessary radio range.
INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTORS
Ensure that the system is in Test mode, (see page 18).
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it
off. (DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever off).
2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and pulling the connector off of the
printed circuit board.
3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame
along the opening edge opposite the hinges
using either the double sided adhesive tape or
screws provided.
When fixing the Detector with screws the top of
the Detector is secured with a keyhole slot over
the screw head of the smaller pan head screw.
The bottom is secured using the 12mm
countersunk head screw fitted within the battery
compartment. Carefully drill out the centre of the
fixing screw hole in the battery compartment
using a 3mm drill. Do not over-tighten the fixing
screws as this may distort or damage the casing.
4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the
door/window opposite the Detector using the
two 15mm fixing screws. Ensuring that the
