Description
The Outdoor Sensor is a supervised,
wireless sensor that detects openings and
closings. The unique design allows
mounting the device outdoors. The sensor
and magnet are mounted using screws
(included) or straps to secure to a post.
When activated, the sensor transmits an
open (trip) or close (restore) signal to the
panel. These are the signals the unit
provides: supervisory, tamper and low
battery (as needed). The sensor is powered
by (2) replaceable 3-VDC, lithium coin-cell
batteries.
Installation Guidelines
• Mounting the sensor on metal can affect
the transmitting range and magnet gap
performance. Therefore, test the sensor
from the desired location using the installer
sensor test, before permanently mounting it.
• Mount the sensor on a non-moving frame
or post, allowing the magnet to move
activating the sensor.
• Mount sensors at least 5 inches above the
ground to avoid damaging them.
• The sensors can be mounted to either
wood or metallic surfaces.
• The magnet should be mounted within 7/8”
for wood or 1/2” for metal installations.
Based on the magnet mounting spacing,
direction of operation and material of the
mounting surface, the gap for opening will
vary between 1/8” and 1 ¾”. Desired
operation should be checked before
permanent installation.
• After mounting the sensor, re-test the
sensor using the procedure in the section
“Testing the Sensor.”
Mounting the Sensor
Mount the sensor using the supplied mounting
screws for permanent mounting installations.
Note: The gap between the sensor and magnet
should not exceed a maximum of 3/8”.
Mounting Screws
1. Remove the cover screw from the sensor.
2. Mount the magnet into the desired location
using the supplied, making sure the alignment
mark lines up with the sensor mark.
Using Mounting Straps
1. The sensor case is designed for strap
mounting. Using a plastic tie strap wrap the
strap around the mounting post and through the
sensor.
Mount the sensor with 3
mounting screws
Mount the magnet
with 2 mounting
screws

2. The magnet can also be strap mounted by
running a strap through the slot in the magnet
housing
External Contact
An external contact can be connected to the
transmitter by feeding contact wiring
through the rubber grommet.
Note: Only one set of contacts can be used
at one time the internal or external, for
added security the internal reed switch can
be cut.
Programming
The following steps describe the general
guidelines for programming the sensor into
panel memory. Refer to the specific panel’s
documentation for complete programming
details.
1. Set the panel to the program mode.
2. Proceed to the SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and
sensor number assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the
sensor for learning, remove the sensor
cover and if present pull the battery pull
tabs. The system should acknowledge
learning the sensor by touchpad display
and/or audio (depending on the panel).
5. Exit program mode.
Testing the Sensor
1. Set the panel to the sensor test mode.
2. Take the sensor and magnet to the
desired mounting location, making sure to
line up their alignment marks with each
other. Trip the sensor by pulling the magnet
away from the sensor.
3. Monitor the system after tripping the
sensor. Refer to the specific panel
documentation for interpretation of the
results to ensure desired signal strength is
achieved.
Note: If a low battery alarm occurs, replace
the battery within 7 days.
CAUTION: Battery may explode if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble
or dispose of in fire.
Note: Make sure straps are
tight to prevent the sensor
from sliding away from the
magnet.
Note: Make sure straps are
tight to prevent the sensor
from sliding away from the
magnet.
Note: Do not exceed 50ft when wiring
to an external contact

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
