TX-CXXX Installation Instructions
I-TX-CXXXX Rev.1 Mar 2017
Description
The Micro Door/Window Sensor is a
supervised, wireless sensor that detects the
opening and closing of doors or windows.
The sensor and magnet are mounted using
screws (included) or double-sided adhesive
tape (included)
When activated, the sensor transmits an
open (trip) or close (restore) signal to the
panel. These are the signals the unit
provides: supervisory, tamper and low
battery (as needed). The sensor is powered
by (2) replaceable 3-VDC, lithium coin-cell
batteries.
Installation Guidelines
• Mounting the sensor on metal can affect
the transmitting range and magnet gap
performance. Therefore, test the sensor
from the desired location using the installer
sensor test, before permanently mounting.
• Mount the sensor within 100 ft. of the
panel.
• Mount the sensor on the frame, and the
magnet on the door, window or drawer. If
mounting on double doors, mount the
sensor on the least used door and the
magnet on the other door.
• Mount sensors at least 5 inches above the
floor to avoid damaging them.
• The sensors can be mounted to either
wood or metallic surfaces.
• The magnet should be mounted within
5/16” (8 mm) for wood or ¼” (6 mm) for
metal installations. Based on the magnet
mounting spacing, direction of operation
and material of the mounting surface, the
gap for opening will vary between 1/8” (3
mm) and 1 ¾” (44 mm). Desired operation
should be checked before permanent
installation.
• After mounting the sensor, retest the
sensor using the procedure in the section
“Testing the Sensor”.
Programming
The following steps describe the general
guidelines for programming the sensor into
panel memory. Refer to the specific panel’s
documentation for complete programming
details.
1. Set the panel to the program mode.
2. Proceed to the SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and
sensor number assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the
sensor for learning, remove the sensor
cover and if present pull the battery pull
tabs. The system should acknowledge
learning the sensor by touchpad display
and/or audio (depending on the panel).
5. Exit program mode.
Testing the Sensor
1. Set the panel to the sensor test mode.
2. Take the sensor and magnet to the
desired mounting location, making sure to
line up their alignment marks with each
other. Trip the sensor by pulling the magnet
away from the sensor.
3. Monitor the system after tripping the
sensor. Refer to the specific panel
documentation for interpretation of the
results to ensure desired signal strength is
achieved.
