The PRX1’s terminals are spring cage connected. The external reed switch’s wires
should first be stripped to expose 1/4" of wire. Each PRX1 terminal has a release slot
and a round hole. Insert the exposed wire end into the round hole and it will be held in
place by the internal spring cage. To release use a small 2mm flat head screw driver
inserted into the release slot below the wire entry slot.
In cases where the PRX1 cannot be installed on the door/window jam, the PRX1 can
accept a two wire external magnetic reed switch. The PRX1 package includes an external
reed switch or you can use any external dry contact switch.
1 Connecting an External Reed Switch
2 Mounting an External Reed Switch
With the external reed switch wired to the PRX1, simply place the External Reed Switch
on a flat non-moving surface above or next to where the magnet will be installed on the
door or window.
To test if the External Reed Switch is properly detecting the magnet position, follow the
instructions found on page two section
Testing Magnet Detection

Integrate with an Occupancy Sensor
The PRX1 can accept an occupancy sensor with an external dry contact output to
wirelessly notify a Pelican thermostat when a space is occupied or unoccupied. This
feature can only be used if the PRX1 is NOT being used as a door/window sensor.
1 Connecting an External Dry Contact Occupancy Sensor
The PRX1’s terminals are spring cage connected. Wires for dry contact occupancy
sensor should first be stripped to expose 1/4" of wire. Each PRX1 terminal has a release
slot and a round hole. Insert the exposed wire end into the round hole and it will be held
in place by the internal spring cage. To release use a small 2mm flat head screw driver
inserted into the release slot below the wire entry slot.
