Place Bracket at 90 degree angle to Magnet on door

Note:

o Insufficient Mounting Space: If your door

frame does not provide enough room for
mounting the Bracket you may need to use a
sensor extension. See the Sensor Extension
Instructions in the User Guide.

o Metal Doors and Windows: If you are

mounting a magnet to a metal door or metal
window, install a spacer under the magnet to
maintain performance.

Add Spacers (If Needed)

If Bracket and Magnet do not align within ¾ inch, add
Spacers to either the Bracket or Magnet to make them
level.

Example: Spacer added to Magnet to close the gap
between the Bracket and Magnet to within ¾”
