Notes:
If you mount magnetic switches
on metal doors or frames,
ensure that they are no more
than
3
/
16
of an inch apart. On
wooden surfaces, they can be
up to
3
/
8
of an inch apart.
Do not mount the magnet
directly onto a metal surface. If
necessary, use a wood or plas-
tic spacer.
For sliding doors/windows, it is
best to mount the magnet and
switch at the bottom of the win-
dow. This way, the magnet will
make a “clean break” from the
switch when the window is
opened.
5. Open the door or window. The
light on the sensor turns on each
time you open the door or window.
Repeat Steps 1–5 for any additional
sensors you want to install (in up to 16
zones).
Notes:
To protect more than one door or
window with a single sensor, use
NC-type (Normally Closed) mag-
netic switches and loop them in
series from one door or window to
the next using 18-gauge wire.
Then connect both ends of the
loop to the sensor.
The RadioShack Wireless Sen-
sor Transmitter (Cat. No. 49-
2585) has an NC magnetic
switch and is compatible with
your security console.
MOUNTING THE MOTION
DETECTOR
Motion detectors are designed to de-
tect motion in a specific area of your
home. For example, you might want to
protect the area around a stereo sys-
tem, jewelry box, or wall safe.
