INSTALLING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT
Within your package, there is one wireless Magnetic Contact. Its purpose is to detect the opening of a door or a window.
The Magnetic Contact has two halves, which are fitted to each side of a door or window. One half is the transmitter and the other is the magnet.

•Gently pull apart the base from the cover.
•Remove the red tag from the battery and check that the LED flashes.
•Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
LOCATING
•Mount the transmitter on a fixed surface such as a door or window frame.
•Mount the magnet on a movable surface such as a door or window.
•The transmitter side marked with a ^ must face the magnet.
•The transmitter and the magnet must be no more than 6mm (0.25") apart.
•Spacers are provided with your Magnetic Contact mounting kit. If you have an uneven surface which prevents the transmitter and the magnet from aligning correctly, e.g. PVC doors or windows, you may wish to use the spacers. Follow the instructions below for ‘Mounting with Screws’ but use a spacer to lift either the transmitter, magnet or both a short distance away from the surface to which it is to be mounted.
MOUNTING USING ADHESIVE
•Ensure the mounting surface is clean.
•The adhesive is double sided. Peel back one layer of the protective film and attach to the transmitter.
•Peel back the remaining layer of protective film and hold the transmitter firmly in place against the mounting surface until firmly attached.
•Repeat with the magnet.
•After fixing the detector in place with the adhesive the strength of the bond will increase as time passes. 50% of strength will be achieved after leaving for 20 minutes and 100% of strength will be achieved after 72 hours.
