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.
