Door Contact (DC-15) 433M

The Door Contact monitors the opening/closing of specified devices (e.g. door or window). The Door Contact is fixed to the
monitored device frame with an actuating magnet fixed to the device. An internal magnetic switch activates when the
corresponding device magnet is present or not transmitting device status to the Central Panel. The device also has the
capabilities of communicating signal problems along with low battery situations.

The Door Contact design consists of a cover and base. The cover contains all electronics and the base provides a means for
fixing the device. An enclosed PCB tamper switch provides tamper protection against unauthorized device opening and/or
removal.

closed), the LED will light.

z When the cover is opened and the tamper switch is violated, the LED will light.
z When a tamper condition persists, every time the Door Contact is activated, the LED will light.

However, if the Device Contact is in Test mode, the LED will flash every time it is activated.

It is recommended that the Door Contact should be placed on the door frame and the

magnet on the door. If the door contact is placed on the door.
Step 1: Find a suitable location close to your door/window to install the Door Contact.
Step 2: The Door Contact has 2 rib-marks on one side (refer to figure), marking the

internal magnet switch location. The door contact should be installed either
upright or inverted, to ensure that the rib-marked side face the magnet.

Step 3: To mount the Door Contact:

(i) Using the 2 Door Contact mounting holes as a template for appropriate

hole positioning.

(ii) Use the provided wall plugs for plaster/brick installation.
