INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Mark location for the switch on the door frame and mark the location for the magnet on the door.
• Make sure switch and magnet hole locations are aligned.
• Drill holes for the switch and magnet using a 1” Hole Saw for steel doors or a Forstner bit for wood doors.
• Press the magnet into the hole in the door until seated rmly against the head. Silicone may be used to secure the
magnet in wood doors.
• Connect the switch leads to the alarm circuit conductors. Hold the wire leads (not the switch housing) when cutting and
stripping to prevent damage to the switch.
• Feed the switch conductors into the hole and insert the switch housing pressing rmly until seated. Silicone may be used
to secure the switch in wood doors.
• Test switch for correct operation and make sure gap performance is acceptable.
