Installation Instructions
Product Summary
Door/W indo w Sen so rs can be install e d on doo rs, windo ws ,
or many othe r objects that open and close. The sens ors
transmit signals to the Control Panel when a magnet
mounted near the sensor is moved away from or closer to
the sensor.
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing Door/Window
sensors.
❑ Mount the sensor on the door frame and the magnet on
the door. If the sensor is to be used on double doors,
mount the sensor on the least -used door an d the magnet
on the other door.
❑ If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel.
While a transmitter may have a range of 500 feet or
more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter
range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.
❑ Make sure the alignment arrow on the magnet points to
the alignment mark on the sensor.
❑ Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to avoid
damaging them.
❑ Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will be
exposed to moisture or where the operating temperature (10°-120°F) will be exceeded.
❑ Use spacers (not included) to keep sensor s and magnets
away from metal or metallic surfaces such as foil wallpaper.
Materials Needed
❑ #6 flathead screws
❑ Screwdriver or brad driver
The following illustrations and procedure describe how to
install the Door/Window sensor.

To install Door/Window sensors:
Align Arro
and Mark
8959G16B.DS4
1. Remove the sensor cover by pressing the button on the
narrow end .
2. Remove the batteries to access the mounting holes.
3. Mount the sensor base with two #6 flathead screws at
the locations shown in Figure 3. If you need to connect

external switches, they should be installed at this point.
Use the procedure for connecting external switches.

4. Remove the magnet from its base. Line up the arrow on
the magnet with the mark on the sensor.
5. Mount the magnet base no more than 3/8-inch away
from the sensor base. Replace the magnet cover.
6. Re-install the batteries and circuit board; and attach the
sensor co ver to the sensor base.
Note
When window or door construction does not allow the
transmitter to be installed nex t to t he m agnet, use an
external switch to install the Door/Window Sensor.
Connecting External Switches
External switches used with Door/Window Sensors allow
you to protect doors and windows when there i s inad equate
room for directly mounting the sensor or when you want to
locate the Door/Window Sensor in an adjacent but less visible place.
Materials and Tools Needed
❑ Hermetically sealed external switches (sealed reed
switch) that supply a minimum 250-milli-second open
or closure on alarm (only normally closed circuits can
be used on the Simon panel)
❑ Stranded 22-gauge wire
❑ Small wire cutters
❑ Sensor and magnet spacers (optional)
Installati on Guidel ines
1. Install the magnet on the opening edge of the door or
movable part of a window.
2. Position the switc h on t h e doo r o r w i ndo w frame within
one inch of the magnet.
3. Remove the cover from the Door/Window Sensor.
4. Pass the wires on the external switch through the rear
opening at the bottom of the Door/Window Sensor.
5. Attach each wire to one side of the screw terminal (#31-
255). Press the screw terminal over the wire posts.
6. Mount the sensor.
Programming
Follow these instructions to program the sensor:
1. Open the control panel cover.
2. Enter Utility Access Code 1 or 2 using the red-numbered buttons.
3. Press Add from the Start Menu.
4. Press the Sensor/Remote button from the Main menu
until you hear the location you wish to use with the sensor.
The order of names th e Control P anel uses are : keychain
remote, touchpad remote, front door, back door, garage
door, bedroom, gu est room, child’s room, utility room,
living room, dining room, bathroom, laundry room,
kitchen, office, den, garage, special chime, basement,
upstairs, downstairs, hallway, medicine cabinet, closet,
attic. Each name may be used more than once.
Note
When adding sensors, if you wish to use a more de scriptive location you may press the option button to use the
compass directions (nor th , n or th e ast, east, south east,
south, south west, west, north west).
5. Press DONE.
6. Enter the sensor type number (10 for exterior door, 14
for interior door, and 13 for window) with the red
num-
bered keys.
Note
If you wish to use a sensor n um ber other than the next
available, enter a 2 digit sen sor number with the red
numbered keys imm ediat el y after entering the sensor
type.
7. Press the button on the top of the sensor (cover
removed).
T esting Door/Window Sensors used
with the Simon Control Panel
The following steps describe the guidelines for testing sensors.
1. Open the Control Panel cover.
2. Enter the Utility Access Code 1 or 2 using the red-numbered buttons.
3. Press the Test button once.
4. Press DONE.
5. Trip the sensor ( move the magnet away from the sensor)
and do not replace the magnet until the Control Panel
indicates the number of RF packets received.
6. Note the number of siren beeps in dicating how many RF
packets the Control Panel received from the sensor. You
should hear 7-8 beeps.
We recommend that you test the sensors after all programming is completed and whenever a sensor-related problem
occurs.
Note
While the sensor test is a valuable installation and service tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current
conditions. You should perform a sensor test after any
change in environmen t, equipment, or programming.

Specifications
If a Sensor Fails the Sensor Test
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, us e an ITI RF
Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty) sensor. Replace the sensor.
To improve sensor communication, you can:
❑ reposition the sensor
❑ relocate the sensor
❑ if necessary, replace the sensor
To reposition a sensor:
1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communication at 90 and 180 degrees from the original position.
2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor as
described as follows.
To relocate a sensor:
1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.
2. Increase the distance from the original position and
retest until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the sensor in the new location.
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
