Installation Instructions

Models: 2814T, 2817T

PRE-INSTALLATION

To ensure correct switch operation without the remote test
feature:

1. Check open loop operation by attaching an ohmmeter to
terminals 1 and 3. The meter should read 5 ohms or less with
no magnet in the proximity of the switch.

2. Check closed loop operation by attaching the ohmmeter to
terminals 2 and 3. The meter should read open/infinity with
no magnet in the proximity of the switch.

3. To check tamper loop operations, attach wires to terminals 5
and 6 through the conduit hub. The meter should read open­infinity with the switch lid off.

Place the lid on the switch and press it into position. The meter
should read 1 ohm or less.

Now introduce a defeat magnet to the upper right side of the
switch. The tamper loop will open and the meter will read open/
infinity. Remove the defeat magnet. If the switch performs as
just described, follow the Installation Instructions.

To ensure correct switch operation with the remote test
feature:

1. Check open loop operation by attaching an ohmmeter to
terminals 2 and 3. Meter should read 5 ohms or less with no
magnet in the proximity of the loop.

2. Check closed loop operation by attaching the ohmmeter to
terminals 1 and 3. The meter should read open/infinity with no
magnet in the proximity of the loop.

3. To check tamper loop operation, attach the wires to terminals
4 and 6 through the conduit hub. The meter should read
open/infinity with the switch lid off.

Place the lid on the switch and press it into position. The meter
should read 1 ohm or less.

Now introduce a defeat magnet to the upper right hand side of
the switch. The tamper loop will open and the meter will read
open/infinity. Remove the defeat magnet.

4. To check the remote test, connect the ohmmeter to terminals
1 and 3. Place the actuator magnet approximately 3/8" below
the switch. The meter should read 5 ohms or less.

Apply 12 VDC to terminals 7 and 8. The meter should read
open/infinity.

If the switch performs as just described, fall the installation
instructions.

INSTALLATION

For Doors Opening Inward to the Protected Area (Figure 2)

Mount switch only after verifying correct operation.

1. Place supplied switch housing template as close as possible
to bottom of door header. It may be necessary to remove
some types of door trim to provide a flat mounting surface.
Mark four mounting holes and drill with a #24 (.152" dia) drill
at least 5/8" into solid structure. Mounting screws are #10,
thread-forming, type AB.

2. Remove switch lid, disconnect ohmmeter and power leads.

3. Install switch with appropriate fasteners to assure secure
hold.

4. Install rigid conduit.

5. Make terminal connections as indicated in Figure 1.

6. Apply RTV mounting compound to lid and conduit hub to
prevent moisture seepage. Replace switch lid.

For Doors Opening Outward from the Protected Area
(Figure 3)

Mount switch only after verifying correct operation.

When installing the 2814T or 2817T on an outward-opening

door, it is important first to create a flat mounting surface if
the doorframe does not already have one. In figure 3, the
simplest and most typical commercial installation is given.
If the doorstop is less than 2 3/4", a shim may be required
between the switch and frame to assure firm mounting.

1. Fold the supplied switch and magnet template and place in
desired position. The .3" gap distance has already been
measured. Mark all mounting holes and drill with a #24
(.152" dia.) drill at least 5/8" into solid structure. Mounting
screws are #10, thread-forming, type AB.

2. With door closed, mount magnet with appropriate fasteners
to assure a secure hold.

INSTALLATION CONT.

7. Temporarily attach magnet to tamper proof mounting bracket
#1960, finger tight only. With door closed, hold magnet so
that the protective flange completely and squarely covers the
switch lid and switch bottom is situated exactly .3" from
magnet. Mark door for bracket installation.

Alignment is critical!

8. Remove magnet from bracket. Open door and mount bracket
as marked with provided fasteners. Reattach magnet loosely
and reclose door. Assure .3" gas distance is correct. Mark
magnet location on bracket. Open door and tighten magnet to
bracket.

9. Check outputs for correct operation.

3. Open door, remove switch lid and disconnect ohmmeter and
power leads.

4. Hold the switch in its mounting position to assure correct
alignment with magnet. Mount the switch firmly with provided
fasteners.

5. Install rigid conduit.

6. Make terminal connections as indicated in Figure 1.

7. Apply RTV mounting compound to lid and conduit hub to
prevent moisture seepage. Replace switch lid.

8. Check outputs for correction operation.

Be certain that switch and magnet line up squarely!
