Installation
1. Note that in order to use Virage Door Contacts, a
VirageBridge or other compatible receiver must be used,
in conjunction with a home automation hub.
2. A Sensor/Transmitter and Magnet must be installed on
each door or window to be monitored
3. The Magnet must be installed on the correct side of the
Sensor/Transmitter (the Sensor Zone), within 3/8" or
approximately 1 cm. The closer the Magnet, the more
reliably the Sensor/Transmitter will work.
4. The Magnet must be installed such that it moves far
enough away from the Sensor/Transmitter to trigger it
when the door or window is opened, and returns to a
position close enough to trigger it when the door or
window is closed.
5. Normally the Sensor/Transmitter is installed vertically
(Transmit LED up) or horizontally on the door jamb or
window frame, and the Magnet is installed on the door or
window, such that the Magnet moves with the door or
window and the Sensor/Transmitter remains stationary.
6. If installing the Sensor/Transmitter in this way is not
possible, it is better to install the Sensor/Transmitter
on the door or window, and the Magnet on the Frame
or Jamb rather than install the Sensor/Transmitter
upside down, in order to ensure the Transmitter/Receiver
does not accidentally unclip from the Mounting Plate.
