Panel Door Magnetic Contact
Models: 2315A, 2317A
Installation Instructions
Mounting
Caution: Locate the magnet away from manual
handles and latches to prevent it from being used
as a foothold or handle to close the door.
1. Slide the slot of the switch over the beveled-edge of
the L-bracket and snap it tightly into place as shown in
Figure 1. Screw down firmly.
Figure 1
Optional: Use the existing roller-track bolts to
mount the switch without using the L-Bracket as
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
3. Connect the switch wires to the alarm system and test to
verify proper operation.
Important: The contact should be mounted at
least 13 inches from the floor. If other trackmounted devices interfere, mount the switch under
them.
2. Align the magnet with the switch and use screws to
attach it to the door as shown in Figure 2. The switch
and magnet must be aligned within 1/2 inch of each
other to prevent false alarms.
