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.
shown for clarity)
Installation
Install Open/Close Sensor
1) Remove sensor (larger device) cover by prying up at “open”
2) Install included AA battery (don’t replace cover yet)
3) Peel backing off double-stick tape on back of sensor
4) Mount sensor:
• If installing on door, w ith white set button between door edge and battery, gently press sensor to door frame
approximately 3” from top of door (such that door slightly clears it when closing)
• If installing on window, with set button between window and battery, gently press to window frame (such that
window will slightly clears it when closing)
5) Press and hold sensor set button for 5 seconds until LED begins blinking
6) For US installations, press and hold nearest Range Extender (previously called Access Point) set button until it
beeps
a) If sensor LED continues blinking, sensor is not within range, move Range Extender to a closer outlet and
return to step 5
7) Peel backing off double-stick tape on back of magnet case
8) Mount magnet:
