Note:
Modules are
sensitive in
one direction.
Logos indicate
the proper
orientation as
illustrated.
Note:
This orientation will
reduce the "MAX GAP"
2"
(51mm)
and should be tested
for function.
Installation:
The 3xxS should be mounted close to the latch side of the door for
optimal performance. In order to meet UL 681 requirements, contact
.3 (7 mm)
shall be installed so door cannot be opened more than 2 inches without
causing an alarm. Intended for operating gaps of up to 5/16” (8mm).
Ensure that the modules are well aligned. When synchronous switching
of the contacts is important, position modules to operate as depicted.
Hold the switch module in position and drill one pilot hole; drive the #8
screw in until the module is seated. Repeat for the second hole. Repeat
these steps for the magnet module to insure accurate positioning.
Wire the switch according to the schematic. 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
