FRIEDLAND Magnetic Contact User manual

These instructions should be read in conjunction
with your System Installation and Operating
Manual and be retained for future reference.
Introduction
These Magnetic Contacts are designed for use with
Response wired Intruder Alarm systems.
The Magnetic Contact comprises two parts; a Magnetic
Contact Switch and a Magnet. They are designed to be
fitted to either doors or windows with the Magnet screwed
to the moving/opening part and the Contact Switch
screwed to the fixed frame. When the protected door or
window is closed the Contact Switch is held closed by the
magnetic field from the Magnet. Opening the protected
door or window will remove the magnetic field and allow
the Contact Switch to open generating an alarm signal at
the Control Panel, (if the system is armed).
Positioning the Magnetic
Contact Detector
The Magnetic Contact detector is suitable for mounting in
dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors and windows are to be protected by
Magnetic Contact detectors; usually the front and back
doors will have Magnetic Contact detectors fitted.
Additional contacts may be fitted where required to other
more vulnerable doors or windows, e.g. garage, patio and
conservatory doors etc.
Note: It is not recommended to connect more than 10
Magnetic Contact detectors in any one zone, as this may
cause difficulty in wiring and hinder any attempt to
efficiently remedy any wiring faults and locate the device
that initiated the alarm.
Installing the Magnetic Contact
1. Having chosen a suitable position to locate the
Magnetic Contact, run the required length of 6 core
cable back to the Control Panel.
Alternatively, the Magnetic Contact may be wired in
series with an existing Magnetic Contact detector on
the appropriate alarm zone.
Do not make any connections at this stage.
2. Fix the Contact Switch to the fixed part of the
door/window frame immediately beside and parallel
to the Magnet using two 25mm Counter-sunk fixing
screws.
3. Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet and
Contact Switch positions is no greater than 9mm.
Wiring the Magnetic Contact
IMPORTANT: Before making any connections, ensure that
the existing system is fully shut down and all power, (mains
and back-up battery) at the Control Panel is removed,
(refer to your System Installation and Operating Manual).
The Contact Switch must be connected in a SERIES loop
with existing zone wiring to the appropriate terminals on
the Control Panel or to an existing detector on the zone.

Installation and Operating Instructions

PLEASE REFER TO YOUR SYSTEM INSTALLATION
& OPERATING INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR FULL
CONNECTION DETAILS.
1. Remove one of the cable entry cut-outs on the Contact
Switch and feed the cable through the entry into the
Contact Switch housing.
2. Carefully remove the outer sheath of the cable and then
strip 5mm of insulation from the Yellow and Blue wires.
Connect the Yellow and Blue wires to the Contact
Switch terminals as shown.
3. Strip off 5 mm of the insulation from the Green and
White wires and connect together using a spare terminal
in the contact housing.
Note: If the spare contact terminals are not present in
the contact then the ends of the wires should be
securely twisted (or soldered) together and insulated.
If connecting multiple contacts the Tamper circuit wiring
should be continued in a series loop in a similar way to
the zone wiring.
Note: If your existing system is using a non-standard colour
coding system for the wiring, then this must be followed.
4. The remaining wires should be trimmed back and
insulated to prevent short circuits and then tucked away
in the Contact Switch housing.
5. Fix the Contact Switch to the fixed part of the
door/window frame immediately beside the Magnet
using two 25mm Counter-sunk fixing screws.
Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet and
Contact Switch positions is no greater than 9mm.
6. The Magnetic contact is now ready to be connected to
the Control Panel or existing zone wiring.
If wiring the new Magnetic contact to an unused zone
connect to the appropriate zone terminals. Alternatively
if wiring into a zone with which already has a detector,
the contact wiring from the new Contact Switch must be
connected in a SERIES loop with existing zone wiring.
The Tamper circuit wiring from the new Contact Switch
must be incorporated into the existing tamper circuit in
a SERIES loop.
7. The Magnetic contact is now ready to be tested.
Testing the Magnetic Contact
Once the Magnetic Contact has been installed, reconnect
the power to the alarm system and test the new Magnetic
Contact and the system in accordance with the System
Installation & Operating Manual.
Note: After reconnecting the power to the system allow at
least 4 minutes for any PIR(s) to stabilise before testing.
