6. Installation
1. R718F has a built-in magnet (as the figure below). When
installed, it can be attached to the surface of an object with
iron which is convenient and quick.
To make the installation more secure, use screws (purchased
separately) to secure the unit to a wall or other surface (as the
figure below).
Note:
Do not install the device in a metal shielded box or in an
environment with other electrical equipment around it to
avoid affecting the wireless transmission of the device.
R718F is suitable below scenarios:
Door, window
Machine room door
Archives
Closet
Refrigerators and freezers
Cargo ship hatch
Garage door
Public toilet door
The place needs to detect the opening and closing status.
2. When the door or window is opened, the reed switch
probe is separated from the magnet, and the device sends
an alarm message about the opening.
When the door or window is closed, the reed switch probe
and the magnet get closer, and the device restores to the
normal state and sends a state message about the closing.
2. Tear off the 3M glue at the bottom of the reed switch probe
and the magnet (as the red frame in the figure above). Then,
stick the reed switch probe to the door and is parallel to the
magnet (as the figure on the right).
Note: The installation distance between the reed switch probe
and the magnet should be less than 2cm.
