Mounting

Caution: Locate the magnet away from manual handles and latches to prevent it from being used as a foothold or handle to close the door.

1. Slide the slot of the switch over the beveled-edge of the L-bracket and snap it tightly into place as shown in Figure 1. Screw down firmly.

2. Align the magnet with the switch and use screws to attach it to the door as shown in Figure 2. The switch and magnet must be aligned within 1/2 inch of each

other to prevent false alarms.
