5. Product description
i
The DuoFern Window/Door Contact is designed to monitor
window and door positions. It consists of a sensor part and
a magnet.
The sensor uses the magnet to detect the respective window or door position:
For windows: Open, closed and tilted
For doors: Open, closed
The sensor part is mounted on / in the door or window
frame and the magnet is mounted directly on the door or
window.
Teaching
The individual window/door positions can be detected and
stored using teach-in processes, see page 18.
Integration into the DuoFern radio system
The DuoFern Window/Door Contact emits dierent control
signals depending on the type of DuoFern device that is
logged on.

7. Safety instructions
i
The use of defective devices and improper use can lead
to property damage.
◆ Never use defective or damaged devices.
◆ Check the DuoFern Window/Door Contact for damage.
◆ Consult our customer service department in the event
that you discover damage, see page 32.
7.1 Intended use

◆ The installation and operation of radio systems is only
permitted for systems and devices where a malfunction
in the transmitter or receiver would not cause a danger to
persons or property or where this risk is already covered
by other safety equipment.
Other radio systems that transmit on the same
i
frequency can cause transmission problems.

Press the cover rmly onto the sensor part again
after changing a battery.
Information about the battery life
The battery life can be reduced due to the following factors:
◆ Use at very low and high temperatures.
◆ Frequent status changes (e.g. opening / closing a door).
◆ Number of logged-on DuoFern devices.
Recommendation:
◆ Do not install the DuoFern Window/Door Contact in the
window frame in unheated rooms, but on the inside of
the window frame.

direction from which the magnet is led to the sensor does
not matter.

9.4 Teaching in the window or door positions
S
i
The DuoFern Window/Door Contact has three operating
modes. The teach-in processes are carried out in the respective mode:
◆ Window mode (open / closed / tilted), LED ashes green
◆ Door mode (open / closed), LED ashes blue
◆ Inverted door mode (open = closed / closed = open),
ashes red
LED
Start each teach-in process with the window or
i
door open. This is also required each time the
operating mode is changed.
Time limit for the teach-in process
The teach-in process is active for 60 seconds after
activating a mode.
Cancelling the teach-in process
You can cancel the teach-in process
by pressing the set button.
Pay attention to the acoustic feedback signal
An acoustic feedback signal is given during the teach-in
process. If an acoustic feedback signal is not given, this
is an indication that the distance between the magnet and
sensor was too large or ferrous material or other magnets
do not enable a reliable dierentiation between the states.

1. Open the window or door.
2. Activate the desired mode:
3 sec. = Window mode > LED ashes green
6 sec. = Door mode > LED ashes blue
9 sec. = Inverted door mode > LED ashes red

conrm that the rst position is stored.
3.a Close the window or door.
2 x After approx. 3 seconds, two short
acoustic signals conrm that this
position is stored.
The following point 3.b is skipped in door mode!
Additionally in window mode (green LED)
3.b Tilt the window.
2 x After approx. 3 seconds, two short
acoustic signals conrm that this
position is stored.
4. Open the window or door again.
2 seconds A long acoustic signal conrms the
successful teach-in process and the
LED goes o.
The teach-in process is completed at this point.

9.5 Check the taught-in positions
i
5 minutes You can check the stored window and
door positions for ve minutes after
the teach-in process.
1. Open, tilt and close the window or door with the xed
DuoFern Window/Door Contact.
Each detected position is acknowledged by acoustic
signals:
1 x = Open
2 x = Tilted
3 x = Closed
The DuoFern Window/Door Contact is ready for
i
operation if the teach-in process has been fully
completed.
If the installation position of the window or door
i
changes over time and the teach-in positions
therefore no longer lead to the desired control
commands, you may need to carry out a new
teach-in process.

9.6 Final installation of the
i
DuoFern Window/Door Contact
1. Mark the installation positions of the sensor part and mag-
net, e.g. with a pencil.
2. Detach the xed sensor part and magnet.
3. Remove the round adhesive pads and clean the adhesive
points thoroughly with the cleaning cloth provided.
4. Apply the double-sided adhesive strips.
5. Re-ax the sensor part and magnet precisely to the previ-
ously marked points with light pressure.

Repeat the teach-in process if necessary (see
i
page 19), if the respective states are no longer
detected properly after the nal installation.
