Alignment Requirements
The proximity of the magnet to the sensor is important for
proper detection. The alignment arrows on the sensor and the
magnet must point to each other and the gap between them
must not exceed .25 inch (6.4mm) in any direction.

Installing
1. Based on your requirements, decide where you want to in-
stall the sensor and the magnet. For door installations, locate
the sensor:
• On the knob side of the door jamb, away from hinges.
• At least 1 ft. (30 cm) above the floor to avoid damage.
For window installations, make sure the location does not
expose the sensor to contact with water.
2. Follow the alignment requirements that are described in the
Planning section.
NOTE: For easy access and handling, it is recommends that
the sensor be linked to a transceiver before installing it, see
the Linking section.
