General Guidelines
• Mount the magnet
assembly to the
door, mount the
switch assembly to
the frame.
Step 1 - Install the Magnet
• Place the magnet
2” (51 mm)
[minimum] from
the side of the
door frame and
3/16” (4.8 mm)
from the top.
• Mark the two
mounting holes
and drill pilot
holes for #8
(4.1 mm) screws
[provided].
• Mount the
magnet on the
door using two #8
(4.1 mm) screws
with the Honeywell label surface facing down and the arrow
pointing away from the door.
Step 2 - Install the Tamper Plate
• Line up the edge of the tamper plate to the edge of the magnet.
Make sure the
arrows on the
tamper plate
are pointing
toward the
door.
• Measure the
gap distance
7/16” ±1/16”
(11.1 mm ±1.6
mm).
• Mark the
mounting holes
and drill pilot
holes for two
#6 (3.5mm)
and four #8
(4.1 mm)
screws [provided].
• Mount the tamper plate in place using two #6 (3.5 mm) screws.
Step 3 - Install the Switch
• Verify that the
arrow on the
switch assembly
is facing the arrow
on the magnet
assembly.
• Mount the switch
assembly to the
tamper plate
using four #8
(4.1 mm) screws
[provided].
• See
Supplemental
Information for
wiring
instructions.
Supplemental Information
Wiring
• The normal condition of the 968XTP is when it is reporting secure,
energized by the magnet.
• The two white tamper wires will be closed when the tamper switch
is in secure condition.
• The tamper contacts should be connected to a 24 hour circuit to
trigger an alarm any time the switch module is tampered with.
• Maximum contact ratings depend on the voltage put through the
switch. They are 250 mA at 12 V or less and 125 mA at 24 V. The
tamper circuit can handle a maximum of 1 Amp.

Notes
• To minimize tamper potential, the 968XTP should be installed inside the
perimeter being protected.
• The switch assembly / magnet combination is designed to have a
nominal gap of 0.45” (11.4 mm). The system will go into alarm
condition if the gap is approximately 0.63” (16.0 mm) and greater,
or approximately 0.27” (6.9 mm) or less. To account for system
tolerances, a 7/16” ±1/16” (11.1 mm ±1.6 mm) gap has been specified
in these instructions. The minimum make gap is 0.53” (13.5 mm).
