• Continuous monitoring where battery-free operation is preferred
• Environments needing discreet sensors that blend with dark frames or trim

Key specifications

• Connection type: hardwired (wired)
• Colour: black
• Function: open/close contact detection
• Form factor: compact, low-profile housing suitable for door and window frames
• Mounting: surface-mount on fixed and moving parts

How to use

Mount the sensor’s fixed and magnetic parts on the door or window frame and the corresponding movable element so that the two parts align when the door or window is closed. Route the sensor cable to the control panel or monitoring input according to site wiring practices and connect to the designated hardwired input terminals. Verify correct alignment and adjust positions if needed to ensure reliable contact detection. Test the sensor operation by opening and closing the door or window while observing the control panel’s status indicators.

Usage recommendations

Install the sensor in a dry location protected from direct impact and excessive vibration. Ensure cable runs are secured and shielded from sharp edges or moving parts. For reliable long-term operation, follow the security panel manufacturer’s wiring guidelines and perform periodic functional tests as part of routine maintenance.
