SAW Door/Window Sensors
• Make sure the alignment arrow on the magnet
points to the alignment mark on the s e nsor.
• Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor
to avoid damaging them.
• Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they
will be exposed to moisture or where the operating temperature (10°-120°F) will be
exceeded.
• Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and
magnets away from metal or metallic surfaces
such as foil wallpaper.
Installation
Instructions
Product Summary
General Information
Door/Window Sensors can be installed on doors,
windows, or many other obje cts that open and close.
The sensors transmit signals to the Control Panel
when a magnet mounted near the sensor is moved
away from or closer to the sensor.
Control Panel Compatibility:
SIMON ™
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing Door/
Window sensors.
Materials Needed
• #6 flathead screws
• Screwdriver or brad driver
The following illustrations and procedure describe
how to install the Door/Window sensor.

and Mark
• Mount the sensor on the door frame and the
magnet on the door. If the sensor is to be used
on double doors, mount the sensor on the
least-used door and the magnet on the other
door.
• If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of
the panel. While a transmitter may have a
range of 500 feet or more out in the open, the
environment at the installation site can have a
significant effect on transmitter range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.

SAW Door/Window Sensors
To install Door/Window sensors:
1. Remove the sensor cover by pressing the button on the narrow end.
2. Remove the batteries to access the mounting
holes.
3. Mount the sensor base with two #6 flathead
screws at the locations shown in Figure 3. If you
need to connect external switches, they should be
installed at this point. Use the procedure for connecting external switches.
MOUNTING HOLES

View)
4. Remove the magnet from its base. Line up the
arrow on the magnet with the mark on the
sensor.
5. Mount the magnet base no more than 3/8-inch
away from the sensor base. Replace the magnet cover.
6. Re-install the batteries and circuit board; and
attach the sensor cover to the sensor base.
Note: When window or door construction does not allow the transmitter to be installed next to the magnet,
use an external swi tch to install the D oor/ Win dow Sen sor.
Connecting External Switches
External switches used with Door/Window Sensors
allow you to protect doors and windows when there
is inadequate room for directly mounting the sensor
or when you want to locate the Door/Window Sensor in an adjacent but less visible place.
Materials and Tools Needed
• Hermetically sealed external switches (sealed
reed switch) that supply a minimum 250-millisecond open or closure on alarm (only normally closed circuits can be used on the
Simon panel)
• Stranded 22-gauge wire
• Small wire cutters
• Sensor and magnet spacers (optional)
Installation Guidelines
1. Install the magnet on the opening edge of the
door or movable part of a window.
2. Position the switch on the door or window
frame within one inch of the magnet.
3. Remove the cover from the Door/Window
Sensor.
4. Pass the wires on the external switch through
the rear opening at the bottom of the Door/
Window Sensor.
5. Attach each wire to one side of the screw terminal (#31-255). Press the screw terminal over
the wire posts.
6. Mount the sensor.
Programming
Follow these instruct i ons to program the touchpad:
1. Open the control panel cover.
2. Enter Utility Access Code 1 or 2 using the
red-numbered buttons.
3. Press Add from the Start Menu.
4. Press the Sensor/Remote button from the Main
menu until you hear the location you wish to
use with the sensor.
The order of names the Control Panel uses are:
keychain remote, touchpad remote, front door,
back door, garage door, bedroom, guest room,
child’s room, utility room, living room, dining
room, bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, office,
den, garage, special chime, basement, upstairs,
downstairs, hallway, medicine cabinet, closet,
attic. Each name may be used more than once.
Note: When adding senso rs, if you wish to us e a more
descriptive locat ion you may press t he opti on button to
use the compass directions (north, north east, east,
south east, south, south west, west, north west).
5. Press DONE.
6. Enter the sensor type number (10 for ext erior
door, 14 for interior door, and 13 for window)
with the red
Note: If you wish to use a sensor number other than
the next available, enter a 2 digit sensor number with
the red numbered keys immediately after entering the
sensor type.

Testing Door/Window Sensors
used with the Simon Control Panel
The following steps describe the guidelines for testing sensors.
1. Open the Control Panel cover.
2. Enter the Utility Access Code 1 or 2 using the
red-numbered buttons.
3. Press the Test button once.
4. Press DONE.
5. Trip the sensor (move the magnet away from
the sensor) and do not replace the magnet until
the Control Panel indicates the number of RF
packets received.
6. Note the number of siren beeps indicating how
many RF packets the Control Panel received
from the sensor. You should hear 7-8 beeps.
We recommend that you test the sensors after all
programming is completed and whenever a sensorrelated problem occurs.
Note: While the sensor test is a valuable installation
and service tool, it only test s sensor operation for
the current conditions. You should perform a
sensor test after any change in environment,
equipment, or programming.
If a Sensor Fails the Sensor Test
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use
an ITI RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that
the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps fro m the
RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty) sensor. Replace the sensor.
To relocate a sensor:
1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original
position.
2. Increase the distance from the original position
and retest until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the sensor in the n ew location.
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
To replace a sensor:
1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2. If the transmission beeps rema in below the
minimum level, avoid mounting a sensor at
that location.
3. If the replacement sensor functions, contact ITI
for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.
