Installing the Sensor
The Motorola Door/Window Sensor and Magnetic Contact are constructed of UV resistant ABS plastic
allowing for indoor or outdoor use. The spacing between the sensor and the contact should be
between 1/10 inch and ½ inch (.25 cm to 1.27 cm).
The Door/Window Sensor cannot be used on metal doors, metal doorframes, or metal objects.
If you paint your Motorola sensor, use a non-conductive latex paint. Remove the batteries from the sensor before
painting and allow adequate time for the paint to dry before reinserting batteries. Make sure you do not let paint
run into the openings of the sensors to prevent damage to the electrical circuitry.
Insert the Antenna
Locate the antenna and screw it into the top right corner of the sensor, just above the air
vents, until it tightly fits. Sharp objects should be stored out of reach of children to prevent
injury.
Insert the Batteries
1
On the bottom of the sensor, slide open the door and insert two AAA alkaline
batteries. The back of the door of the sensor indicates the polarity (+ and -) of the
batteries.
2
Close the door.
The sensor does not support rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries. However, the sensor does employ power
saving functionality.
Mounting Your Door/Window Sensor
It is recommended that you discover your sensor before mounting it.
1
Using the supplied double-sided tape, peel one-side of the paper strip and place it on the back of
the sensor. Peel the other side of the tape and place the sensor in the location desired.
You can also mount the sensor more securely using the screws in the hardware kit. Using the
drilling template found later in this guide, drill two pilot holes for the screws. Affix the screws to
one side of the object (typically the "stationary" side) leaving 1/16" (1.6 mm) space between the
screw head and the object. Mount the sensor onto the screws and slide down to lock into place.
2
Using the holes on the drilling template, mark the position of the holes to
be drilled. For drywall or other composite surfaces use a 7/32" drill bit.
Drill a hole for each of the mounting screws and insert a plastic wall
anchor into each hole. For other solid surfaces use a 1/16" drill bit. Drill a
pilot hole for each of the mounting screws.
