STEP 1: INSTALLATION
Models 2842TW, 2843TW, 2844TW, 2845T, 2846T, 2847T:
(Cover Tamper Optional)
Select desired mounting positions for switch and magnet,
observing gap distance. On wide gap switches (2842TW,
2843TW, 2844TW) align labels on switch and magnet so labels
read in same direction (switches are polarity sensitive).
Model 2847TH: (Cover Tamper Standard)
Mount switch in desired location. Attach Ohmmeter to "Closed
Loop" and "Common" terminals. Meter should read INFINITY
with magnet away from switch. Bring magnet toward switch until
meter reads 0 Ohms, mark this point. Align labels on switch and
magnet so labels read in same direction (switch is polarity
sensitive). Bring magnet toward switch until meter again reads
INFINITY. Mark this point, and position the magnet between
these two marks. With magnet positioned correctly, the switch
shall have balanced operation and will be more difficult to defeat
if an external magnet is used in such an attempt.
