Magnetic Contact Detector
These instructions should be read in conjunction with your System Installation
and Operating Instructions and be retained for future reference.
Introduction
The LuxHome Magnetic Contact Detector is designed for use with LuxHome wire free
Intruder Alarm Systems operating on 433MHz only.
The Magnetic Contact Detector comprises two parts; a Detector and a Magnet. They
are designed to be fitted to doors or windows with the Magnet mounted on the opening
part and the Detector mounted on the fixed frame. Opening the protected door/window
will remove the magnetic field, trigger the Detector and generate an alarm condition (if
the system is armed and the alarm zone active).
The Detector is powered by two CR2032 type Lithium cells which under normal
conditions will have an expected life in excess of 1 year. Under normal battery conditions
the LED on the Detector will not illuminate when the Detector is triggered, (unless in
test mode). However, under low- battery conditions this LED will be illuminated for
approx. 1 second when the detector is triggered. When this occurs the batteries should
be replaced as soon as possible.
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to connect an additional wired Magnetic
Contact. This additional contact must be of a normally closed contact type with the
contacts being opened in order to generate an alarm condition.
Positioning the Magnetic Contact Detector
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors/windows are to be protected by Magnetic Contact Detectors, (as a
minimum usually the front and back doors will have Magnetic Contact Detectors fitted).
Additional detectors may also be added where required to other vulnerable doors or
windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory doors or windows).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic Contact Detector is within effective
range of the Siren, (refer to your System Installation and Operating Manual).
