Notes:

•If you mount magnetic switches on metal doors or frames, ensure that they are no more than 3/16 of an inch apart. On wooden surfaces, they can be up to 3/8 of an inch apart.

•Do not mount the magnet directly onto a metal surface. If necessary, use a wood or plas- tic spacer.

•For sliding doors/windows, it is best to mount the magnet and switch at the bottom of the win- dow. This way, the magnet will make a “clean break” from the switch when the window is opened.

5.Open the door or window. The light on the sensor turns on each time you open the door or window.

Repeat Steps 1–5 for any additional sensors you want to install (in up to 16 zones).

Notes:

•To protect more than one door or window with a single sensor, use NC-type (Normally Closed) mag- netic switches and loop them in series from one door or window to the next using 18-gauge wire. Then connect both ends of the loop to the sensor.

•The RadioShack Wireless Sen- sor Transmitter (Cat. No. 49- 2585) has an NC magnetic switch and is compatible with your security console.

MOUNTING THE MOTION DETECTOR

Motion detectors are designed to de- tect motion in a specific area of your home. For example, you might want to protect the area around a stereo sys- tem, jewelry box, or wall safe.
