Introduction:
This guide contains introductory setup and configuration information. It contains limited detail and is
intended for use only by qualified technicians who possess prior knowledge of GPRS and SRS setup and
operation. If you are unfamiliar with these devices, you are strongly advised to consult the
full user manual for complete details. You may view and/or print the manual via the following
website link:

Information in this guide is applicable to the Kadtronix family of smart relay controllers. Applicable
devices include the following models:
· General Purpose Relay Switch (GPRS)
· VAC Smart Relay Switch ( SRS)
These controllers provide sensor-activated remote control capability for devices and equipment. Onboard
relay with SPDT contacts provides switching for loads up to 10A @250VAC. Wired and/or wireless
sensors may be employed.
WARNING: Only a qualified technician should attempt to perform the setup and installation
instructions contained in this guide. Your warranty may e voided if damage occurs due
to improper installation.
Configuration Settings:
There are two sets of configuration DIP switches (labelled DSW1 & DSW2) which must be properly
configured before use. Recommended switch settings will vary depending on the application as there are
literally thousands of possible settings combinations. Two common default settings are listed below. The
first allows for both wired and wireless sensor operation. The second supports only wireless sensors,
disabling wired sensor operation. (Both settings define immediate trigger activation and de-activation
time periods.)
DSW1: DSW2:
--------------- ---------------
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
--------------- ---------------
Both: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [All switches OFF]
Wireless: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Note: An indicated '0' digit means the specified DIP switch is "off". A '1' digit means the switch is
"on".

Delay Timing:
The system can be configured to invoke a delay so that relay trigger activation (i.e., equipment shutoff) will
not occur until the specified time period has elapsed. DSW1 switches 1 through 4 establish the desired delay.
The listing below provides definitions for several available delay settings. (Consult the full user manual for
detailed settings and options.)
DSW1:
-------
1 2 3 4
-------
1 in: 1 0 1 0
2 in: 0 1 1 0
5 in: 1 1 1 0
10 in: 0 0 0 1
Notes:
1) A '0' digit means the specified DIP switch is "off". '1' means the switch is "on".
2) You may also optionally configure a post-shutoff reactivation delay using switches 1, 2, 3, 4 at
DSW2. Desired delay values follow the same convention as descri ed for DSW1.
Terminal Bloc Wiring Connections:
The controller provides screw terminal connections for wiring purposes:
1) +12VDC power in/out
2) Ground
3) Reserved
4) Wired Sensor #1
5) Wired Sensor #2
6) Wired Sensor #3
7) Wired Sensor #4
8) Wired Sensor return
9) Wired Sensor return
10) Wired Sensor return
11) Wired Sensor return
12) Relay - COM
13) Relay - N/C
14) Relay - N/O
Notes: 1) For wired-sensor applications, any unused sensor inputs should be disabled with a short jumper
wire to the appropriate return.
2) Please consult the user manual for complete wiring explanations. (See website link above.)
3) WARNING: For wireless applications, avoid contacting the antenna and/or mounting bracket with
any grounded object such as the VAC chassis, water heater, laundry equipment, or metal wall
studs. Inadvertent contact may result in electrical failure including damage to the power converter.
Customer equipment may also be subjected to blown fuses and/or tripped circuit breaker.
4) If you encounter any issues during or after the install, please contact Kadtronix technical support
(321-757-9280) for on-site assistance. Please do not return the product without authorization -
proper troubleshooting and/or problem resolution may be impossible once the unit has been
removed from service.

Applying Wireless Sensor to a Metal Door or Patio Door:
Wireless door sensor operation can be adversely affected when affixed to a metal door or metal-frame opening
such as a patio door. Prior to mounting the unit, the sensor may operate flawlessly. But once applied to the
metal surface, there may be little, if any, detected signal at the controller / receiver.
IMPORTANT: The receiving antenna should e located at ceiling height and oriented vertically. Ensure 3
ft. separation (minimum) from HVAC equipment, metal shelving, plum ing, conduits, electronic devices,
appliances, etc. An improperly located antenna may result in poor signal reception and marginal system
performance.
Option 1: Direct attach (traditional mounting)
In many instances, the problem can be resolved with a minor relocation adjustment of the sensor (& magnet).
Just an inch or two in one direction or the other can make a huge impact. Be prepared to commit a few
minutes of patient trial-and-error testing. ( int: Use masking tape for temporary attachment to the intended
surface, avoiding use of the 3M adhesive backing until you achieve consistent and reliable results at the
controller/receiver.) If wireless signal reception continues to remain poor or marginal after multiple re-
positioning attempts, proceed to Option 2.
Option 2: Re-orient sensor (pivot method)
Consider adjusting the sensor orientation, pivoting the device 90-degrees away from the metal surface. In
order to achieve this new orientation, a custom “side-mount” attachment will be necessary as shown below:
Custom “side-mount” (using nylon fasteners)
(A = door sensor, B = cable-tie mount, C = zip tie)
Apply cable-tie mount to the sensor as shown, securing with a zip tie. Ensure the orientation allows for proper
detection of the external magnet. (The magnetic sensing side should face outward, away from the mount.) Do
not apply the cable-tie’s 3M adhesive backing at this time. Instead, use masking tape to temporarily affix
assembly (sensor + custom mount) to the intended surface, allowing for easy re-positioning. ( int: Trial-and-
error tests will be necessary to determine the best locations for the sensor assembly and magnet.)
Notes: 1) Cable-tie mount and zip tie are comprised of plastic or nylon. (Metal compositions are to be strictly
avoided.)
2) Smaller devices such as the GEN3 mini sensor require only a single mount. Larger sensors may
require dual mounts.
3) For convenience, perform sensor registration (pairing) prior to permanently affixing sensor (with
mount) to door or frame surface.

Wireless (Mini) Sensor:
The KD-DS-5800-MINI wireless door/window sensor is powered by a single CR2032 battery (included). The
device emits RF message signals when the corresponding door or window is opened or closed. Additionally, it
is suitable for concurrent use with compatible oneywell security systems featuring 345 M z alarm panels.
For details including features, special considerations, and specifications, refer to the following resource:
https://www. adtronix.com/downloads/d5800_cut.pdf
LED Indicators:
The sensor contains two (2) multi-color LED indicators which remain enabled for 15 minutes after inserting /
replacing the battery, or indefinitely while the cover is detached. Colors are defined below:
•Blue – illuminates when the magnet is in proximity; aids installation for optimal placement
•Green – indicates sensor is transmitting
•Red – low battery
Color Meaning
Blue Active when magnet is within range of the sensor unit (1 inch max).
Green Flashes when sensor unit transmits.
Red Upon low battery condition, the indicator flashes once every five seconds, for two
minutes after a RF message transmission.
Installation:
•Detach front cover from sensor unit
•Insert battery (CR2032 - included)
•Mount the device as instructed below:
•For wood doors, mount the sensor (& magnet) using 3M adhesive backing - included.
•For metal doors, patio doors, and other metal-framed openings, masking tape is strongly
recommended for temporarily mounting the sensor (& magnet). Using trial-and-error testing,
reposition as necessary until you have confirmed consistent, reliable signal detection at the
controller/receiver. Apply 3M adhesive backing for permanent hold.
Note: Attach sensor unit to the stationary part of the desired opening (typically the door-frame or
window-frame), and attach magnet to the door or window.
•Verify that the blue test LED illuminates when the door or window is closed (i.e., magnet is near), and
that it extinguishes when the door is opened.
•Replace cover.

Wireless (Basic) Sensor:
The KD-DS-5816WM wireless door/window sensor is powered by a single CR123A battery (included). The
device emits RF message signals when the corresponding door or window is opened or closed. Additionally, it
is suitable for concurrent use with compatible oneywell security systems featuring 345 M z alarm panels.
This device also features wired screw terminals for external wired switch connection. (Note: If this option is
not to be used, you must apply a jumper wire at the wiring terminals to disable the feature. Otherwise,
inadvertent trigger may occur at the SRS controller.) For details including features, special considerations,
and specifications, refer to the following resource:
https://www. adtronix.com/downloads/d5816_cut.pdf
IMPORTANT: This device features wired contact screw terminals for optional external wired
switch N/C) or closed contact loop. Unless you plan to utilize this input, it must be disabled
to avoid inadvertent trigger at the HSRS controller. To disable, apply a short jumper wire
across the wiring terminals.
Installation:
•Detach front cover from sensor unit
•Insert battery (CR123A - included)
•Mount the device as instructed below, based on door construction:
•For wood doors, mount the sensor (& magnet) using 3M adhesive backing or screws (both
included).
•For metal doors, patio doors, and other metal-framed openings, masking tape is strongly
recommended for temporarily mounting the sensor (& magnet). Using trial-and-error testing,
reposition as necessary until you have confirmed consistent, reliable signal detection at the
controller/receiver. Apply 3M adhesive backing (or screws) for permanent hold.
Note: Attach sensor unit to the stationary part of the desired opening (typically the door-frame or
window-frame), and attach magnet to the door or window.
