Installation:
The MSS-3XXC should be mounted close to the latch side of the door
for optimal performance; Up to 15” (38cm) from the doorknob/door-
latch edge is recommended in order to meet UL 681 requirements:
contact shall be installed so door cannot be opened more than 2
inches without causing an alarm. Intended for operating gaps of up to
1/4” (6mm). Ensure that the modules are well aligned.In-frame
minimum depth clearance should be 5/8" (16mm).
Suitable for outdoor and indoor use, U.S. and Canadian applications.
* Recommended bits: For metal environments, unibits or high quality
hole-saws; for wood, Forstner bits (smooth-finish wood-boring drills).
Before drilling, a careful layout of the site is recommended in order to
achieve module alignment.
Metal burrs from drilling can prevent the retaining barbs of the
modules from deploying; remove any troublesome burrs. Wire the
switch according to the schematic.
Insert the switch module into the hole in the frame. Insert the magnet
module into the hole in the door. † Adhesive (such as RTV) is
recommended to assure a secure fit. Adhesive is necessary for
materials which are too thick for retaining barb deployment (wood or
thick metal). Check the operation of the installed switch.

i#-#-#-#-#-# Scheme:
"-i" precedes custom resistor (kΩ)
values separated by hyphens. The
sequence of entries correlates to the
positions depicted in the key. "N" is
used as a null place-holder (No resistor
for this position). Contact Magnasphere
for nomenclature guidance and for
