Open/Close Sensor Hardware
Reed Switch
Detects whether magnet is with in ½” of the main case:
• Closed state when magnet is within ½”
• Opened state when magnet is further than ½”
Jumper
When jumper is installed (default), Open/Close Sensor will send an
INSTEON “on” command when it opens and an “off” command when it
closes. W hen jumper is uninstalle d (as in Multi-Scene Mode), Open/Close
Sensor will activate scene 1 when it opens and activate scene 2 when it
closes.
NOTE: When installin g or uninstalling jumper, remove and replac e battery
for new jumper setting to take effect
Set Button
• Links other INSTEON devices (responders)
• Controls linked responders (scene 1): Tap to toggle between on
and off
External Sensor Terminals
When using an extern al se nsor, O pen/Clos e Sensor is in closed s tate when
either external s ensor terminals or reed switch are closed. In other words,
Open/Close Sensor opens when both external sensor ter minals and reed
switch are open. See Advanced External Sensor Use for more information.
Status LED
Indicates:
• Change in state (open or close)
• Linking/unlinking mode (blinks)
Arrows
Arrows indicate reed switch location inside main case, so magnet should be installed as close as to them as
possible.
Magnet
Included magnet is installed on o pposing plane than Open/Close Sensor main c ase. It should be less tha n ½” away
from the main case when door/window, etc. is closed and further than ½” when open.

Otherwise, move sensor and magnet closer together when closed and test again
Connecting an External Sensor to Open/Close Sensor
NOTE: For basic use of Open/Close Sensor’s external sensor terminals, it is not recommended to also use
Open/Close Sensor’s internal reed switch to help ensure desired behavior. If connecting multiple sensors to
Open/Close Sensor’s external sensor terminals and/or using Open/Close Sensor’s reed switch in addition to an
external sensor, see Advanced External Sensor Use.
1) Use a small screwdriver to remove Open/C los e Sens o r main case cover
2) Strip sensor wire about ¼”
3) Unscrew external sensor terminals, connect sensor wire, and screw in terminals
4) Test by opening and closing sensor
Open/Close Sensor s tatus LED will blink once when sensor opens or closes
5) If you haven’t alre ady done so, link desired responders before replacing cover. See Make Open/Close Sensor a
Controller.
6) Replace Open/Close Sensor main case cover
INSTEON Setup
INSTEON Controller s, R es pon der s and Li nk s
Let’s define a few terms.
• The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a controller
• The INSTEON “receiver” is called a responder
Note: Some devices are controllers only (e.g., open/close and motion sensors, handheld remotes), some are
responders only (e.g., FanLinc), and some can be controllers and responders (e.g., switches and dimmers).
• The association between the controller and responder is called a link
Note that a link is one way. If you want control the other way (making the responder a controller), and the devices are
capable of it, simply add a link “the other way.”
Default Mode
In default mode, Open/Close Sensor will:
• Turn on responders when it opens
• Turn off responders when it closes
This mode is ideal for garage doors, closets, sheds, etc.
If you require more flexible functionality, see Using Open/C los e Sensor’s Multi -Scene Mode.

button is tapped
Using Open/C lose Sensor ’s Multi-Scene Mode
In multi-scene mode, Open/Close Sens or will:
• Activate scene 1 when it opens
• Activate scene 2 when it closes
This mode is ideal when you need more flexibility:
• For rooms where you want lights left on after door is clos ed – simply don’t link any respo nders to s cene 2 in
this case
• Turning lights on at full-bright when door is opened and dim when door is closed
• Activating t wo indep end ent s c enes when door/window is opened as opposed to closed

Scenes
Devices in a scene can each ha ve different s ettings. This prov ides for advance d lighting, aud io, etc scene creation.
Software is recommended for scene management.
INSTEON scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one responder to the same controller. Then, all
INSTEON devices linked in the scene will respond as a group.
Advanced Features
Advanced External Sensor Use
For advanced users, a single Open/Close Se ns or can be used to:
• Monitor several doors/windows
• Monitor several different types of sensors
• Monitor external sensors in addition to its internal reed switch
Using Several Sensors
When several sensors (eve n of diff erent t ypes) are c onnect ed to Open/C lose S ens or external sensor term inals, k eep
in mind that Open/Close S ensor only has t wo states: opened a nd closed. So if you have several s ensors connect ed
in the following conf igurations, note O pen/Close S ensor behavior (it is ass umed in this exam ple Open/Close Sens or
internal reed switch is not being used).
• Several sensors connected in series – Open/Close Sensor will show open if any sensors are open and
closed when all sensors are closed
• Several sensors co nnected in parallel – Open/Close Sensor will sho w open when all sensors are open and
closed if any sensors are closed
NOTE: If magnetic door/window contacts are used, there are two types:
Page 6 of 9 2843-222/2843-422/2843-522 - Rev: 1/21/2014 7:18:39 AM
Page 7
• Normally open – when door /win do w is closed, sensor wil l sho w open. When door/window is op en, s ensor will
show closed
• Normally closed – when door/window is clos ed, senso r will show closed. When door/ window is open, s ensor
will show open
Using Internal Reed Switch and External Sensors
When Open/Close Sensor external sensors input is used in conjunction with its internal reed switch, Open/Close
Sensor behaves much like several sensors connected in parallel (above), meaning:
• Open/Close Sensor will be open when both internal reed sw itch and external reed switch sensor terminals
show open
• Open/Close Sensor wi ll be closed when either internal reed switch or external sensor terminals show closed
Power Restore
Open/Close Sensor stores all of its settings, such as links to other INSTEON devices, with non-volatile memory.
Because settings are saved in non-volatile memory, they will not be lost when the battery is removed.
Factory Reset
All settings and scenes will be erased and return to factory default settings.
1) If you are using Open/Close Sensor to control any responders, unlink them from Open/Close Sensor. See
Remove Open/Close Sensor as a Controller.
2) Use a small screwdriver to gently remove Open/Close Sensor main case
3) Remove battery and wait at least 15 seconds
4) Press and hold set button on Open/Close Sensor while reinstalling battery
5) Release set button when the status LED turns on
Open/Close Sensor status LED will stay on for about 4 seconds and then turn off
