Installation Manual
Introduction
The DCT6 is a wireless magnetic door contact that is discreetly
hidden within the frame of a door or window.
Installation
Transmitter: Drill a 3/4 in. x 2.75 in. depth (16 mm x 70 mm depth)
hole in the frame and insert the DCT6 transmitter. Secure the
transmitter body A- with two screws or B- with one screw and
remove one flange if it interferes with the radial opening or Cpress fit installation on narrow frames, see Figure 3, A, B and C.
Magnet: Drill a 3/4 in. x 1.1 in. (19 mm x 28 mm) hole in the frame
to be aligned with the transmitter when door/window is closed
and insert the magnet with press fit. Make sure it is aligned with
the transmitter and that the gap, when closed, is not greater than
0.4 in. / 10 mm.
Open/Close
Breaking the Flange
Setting RF Frequency / Replacing Battery
1. Open the top of the DCT6 transmitter, turning the cover
counter clockwise, see Figure 2.
2. Locate the switch on the PCB, as shown in Figure 4.
3. Slide the switch to the desired frequency 433 MHz or
868 MHz.
4. Remove the battery for a few seconds. Replace the battery
back (verify the polarity and insert properly + and - marked on
