1. To install the sensor in non-countersunk appli-
cations, there must be at least 1/4 in. of clear-
ance between the door or window and the
frame. Drill a hole with a 5/8 in. drill bit until
the hole depth measures 3-3/4 in. (see Figure

Adding the Sensor to Panel Memory
Below are general guidelines for adding (learning)
the sensor into panel memory. Refer to your panel
Installation Instructions for complete details.
1. Set the panel to Program mode.
2. Proceed to the LEARN SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor
number.
4. Insert the blade of a standard screwdriver into
the slot at the top of the sensor. Press in firmly
while slowly rotating the top 1/8 turn counter-
clockwise, then rotate it back (see Figure 4)

5. Repeat the above steps until all sensors are
added (learned) into the panel.

6. Exit Program mode.
Alternative Add Sensor Method
The following method can be used as an alterna-
tive to step 4 in the “Add Sensor to Panel Mem-
ory” section.
1. Remove the sensor cover by inserting a screw-
driver in the top and rotating counterclockwise.
2. Using a screwdriver press the Add Sensor but-
ton located at the top of the circuit board (see
Figure 5).

Testing
The following steps describe general guidelines
for testing the sensor. Refer to your panel Installa-
tion Instructions for complete details.
Note
The sensor has a built-in power-saver feature that turns
on automatically when the sensor is tripped more than
once, within a 4-1/4 minute time period.
When the power-saver feature is on, the sensor trans-
mits only half the usual number of data rounds when
tripped. For example, during a dealer sensor test you
normally expect to hear up to 8 data rounds. When the
power-saver feature is on, you may hear only up to 4
data rounds.
To be sure the sensor has acceptable transmitting
range to the panel, leave the sensor undisturbed in the
closed (non-alarm) condition for 5 minutes before trip-
ping it for testing. This gives the sensor enough time to
turn off the power-saver feature so you can get accu-
rate sensor test results.
1. Set the panel to the Dealer Sensor Test mode.
2. Trip the sensor by opening the door or window
to verify that it has an acceptable transmitting
range with the panel.
3. Listen for interior siren beeps to indicate how
many rounds the panel receives from the sensor.
You should hear 6 to 8 beeps.
• Use an RF Sniffer to help diagnose faulty sen-
sors.
Applying the Weather-Resistant Label
Sensors mounted on the bottom or side of a win-
dow/door frame may be exposed to driving rains.
For these applications, place one of the the
included weather-resistant labels (brown or gray)
to the top of the sensor (Figure 6), after installa-
tion, programming, and testing are completed.
The label helps seal the edge of the sensor so
water cannot enter the sensor.
Apply label
here
Figure 6. Weather-Resistant Label Location
Use the appropriate color label to help the sensor
blend in with the frame. If using the brown label
on a gray sensor, it is recommended that the sen-
sor be flush-mounted so that no gray is visible.
