Sensor w ill learn in all three zones when you activate
the tamper switch.
Select the zone to learn by faulting the desired zone.
To use the internal reed switch or the tilt switch, zone
1 must be programmed (learned).
Zone 1 = Remove the magnet.
Zone 2 = Open zone 2 external contact (fault).
Zone 3 = Open zone 3 external contact (fault).
Note: Replace jumper 2 w hen the zones have been
programmed.
Tilt switch is on in instant mode (no delay).
TX-8300-01-1 DesignLine TriZone Sensor Installation Sheet
The DesignLine Tri-Zone Sensor provides the following
features:
Tri-zone sensing. Protects any three zones in close proximity
to each other. Reduces the labor and expense of multiple
sensors to protect multiple zones.
Garage door protection. Protects garage doors with tilt
sensing capability. Reports faults and restores based on the
position of the garage door (no magnet is needed).
Low battery LED indicator. Indicates a low battery condition
by flashing the sensor cover LED every 5 seconds.
You can use the sensor jumpers to enable the sensor to
protect three separate areas and report as three separate
zones.
Jumper 1. Leave jumper 1 on as positioned by factory default
(do not remove).
Jumpers 2 and 3. Use the jumpers as indicated below.
For auto learn mode (default jumper settings):
Tamper switch protection. Provides a tamper switch that
indicates if the sensor cover is removed.
Figure 1: Sensor components
Note: You can use a maximum of 18 ft. (6 m) of 24 AWG wire
on each zone (2 and 3).
If possible, locate the sensor within 100 ft. (30 m) of the control
panel. Open-air range is 500 ft. (150 m); environment can
significantly reduce the range.
Programming
Note: Refer to your panel documentation for complete
programming information.
For manual programming (learning):
Note: For zone 1, you must select either the reed switch
(jumper 3 on) or the tilt switch (jumper 3 off).
Garage door protection
You can use the sensor to secure a garage door without
running wires or using a reed switch.
You must program (learn) the sensor before you mount it.
To mount the sensor in a garage door installation:
1. Set jumpers 2 and 3 for your application:
Tilt switch is on in 1-minute delay.

2. Mount the sensor to the top panel of the garage door.
Secure the mounting bracket to the garage with the tab at
the bottom using two screws (provided).
3. Place the sensor (with the opening latch at the top) on the
bracket, aligning the holes on the sensor with the
mounting tabs on the bracket. Push the sensor down and
snap it into place.
Reed switch installations
You must program (learn) the sensor before you mount it.
To mount the sensor in a reed switch installation:
1. Make sure jumper 3 is on.
2. Secure the mounting bracket to the frame.
3. Place the sensor on the bracket and snap it into place.
4. Locate the magnet so the magnet aligns with the reed
switch in the sensor. Maximum magnet gap is 0.5 in. (1.3
cm). Secure the magnet with the two screws provided.
Figure 2: Magnet spacing
After installation, to remove the sensor:
1. Remove the sensor cover.
2. Remove the battery.
3. To release the sensor from the bracket, press the tab next
to the negative battery terminal.
4. Lift the sensor off the bracket.
Battery replacement
The LED on the sensor cover flashes every 5 seconds when
the sensor detects a low battery.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the sensor cover.
2. Remove the battery (use proper disposal methods).
3. Replace the battery observing proper polarity. Use the
recom m ended batteries (see “Specifications” below).
Specifications
Figure 3: Mounting the magnet
If necessary for your installation, use the spacer provided.
To add the magnet spacer:
1. Mount the spacer using the two screws provided.
2. Snap the magnet onto the spacer.
