Installation Instructions

The Learn Mode Micro Door/Window Sensor is a supervised, wir eless sensor that detects the opening and closing of doors, windows, or drawers. The sensor an d magnet are mounted using double-sided adhesive tape (included).
When activated, the sensor transmits an open (trip) or close (restore) signal to the panel. Every 64 minutes, the sensor transmits a su per­visory signal to the panel, automatically.
The sensor is powered by a 3-VDC, lithium coin-cell battery (CR2032) and is replaceable by the installer or the user.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting the sensor on metal can reduce its transmitting range. Therefore, test the sensor from the desired location using the

dealer sensor test, before permanently
a
mounting it.
Mount the sensor within 100 feet of the panel.
Mount the sensor on the frame, and the magnet on the door , window, or drawe r. If mounting on double door s, m ou nt t he s en­sor on the least used do or and the ma gnet on the other door.

4. When prompte d by the panel to trip th e sensor for learning, remove the sensor cover and slide the battery about half-way out of the battery holder (see Figure 1).
The following steps describe the general guide­lines for adding t he sens or into panel mem ory. Refer to the specific panel installation instruc­tions or reference manual for complete pro­gramming details.

1. Set the panel to the program mode.

2. Proceed to LEARN SENSORS.

3. Select the appropriate sensor group and

Testing the Sensor

1. Set the panel to the dealer sensor test mode.

2. Take the sensor and magnet t o the desired mounting location, making sure to line up their alignment marks with each other.

3. Trip the sensor by pulling the magnet away from the sensor.

4. Listen for interior siren beeps to indicate how many rounds the panel receives from the sensor. You should hear 6 to 8 beeps.
of 6 to 8. For accurate sensor test results, leave the sensor undisturbed in the closed (non­alarm) condition for 5 minutes before trip­ping it for testing. This gives the sensor enough time to turn off the feature.

Mounting the Sensor

After successful programming and testing are completed, mount the sensor and magnet with double-sided tape (included) as follows:
Note: The Learn Mode Micro Door/Window Sen-
sor has a built-in power-saver feature that turns on automatically when the sensor is tripped more than once, within a 4-1/4 minute time period. When this feature is on, the sensor trans­mits only half the usual number of data rounds when tripped. For example, you may hear only up to 4 data rounds instead
Note: You must use 3 pieces of the double-sided
tape on the sensor as described in step 1, to ensure the sensor does not move or rock.
1. Apply 3 of th e fou r piec es of do uble -side d tape to the bottom of the sensor and mount the sensor at the desired location.
2. Apply the remain ing piec e of double- sided tape to the bottom of the magnet and

mount it at the desired location, making sure the alignment mark lines up with the sensor’s.

3. Retest the sensor using the procedure in the section “Testing the Sensor.”
