The Window/Door Sensor

Compartment

The included Window/Door Sensors are extremely reliable, and will be triggered every time the door on which they are mounted is opened.

When the two parts of the sensor are extremely close to one another (ideally touching) the sensor is deactivated. As soon as the two parts are moved apart by about 1/2 of an inch (about 10-15mm), this will cause the transmitter to send the alarm signal.

We suggest using the Window/Door Sensors as your primary alarm triggers. They are reliable and, if installed correctly, can safeguard doors and windows from being opened without your knowledge.

However, these types of sensors can be circumvented if a window or fragile door were broken rather than opened. Thus, we suggest using the infrared sensors as a backup to the Window/Door Sensors.

IMPORTANT: The Window/Door Sensor only works correctly when the trigger is aligned to the right-hand side of the transmitter as pictured above. The trigger should be placed on the side opposite to the RF+ALARM/OFF/RF switch.

Environments with extreme fluctuating magnetic fields (such as around devices like microwaves) can interfere with the proper functioning of the Window/Door Sensor. We suggest avoiding placing the Window/Door Sensor near these devices.

Modes:

OFF: The Window/Door Sensor is inactive.

RF: When triggered, the Window/Door Sensor will transmit a signal to the control unit. The built-in siren will not sound.

RF+ALARM: When triggered, the Window/Door Sensor will transmit a signal to the control unit in addition to sounding the internal siren. The additional siren in the sensor is a great backup to the main alarm unit’s siren, and will sound in the place the alarm is triggered.
