4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the reliable operation of your security contact. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 Tools Required
- Drill with 3/4" drill bit
- Screwdriver
- Wire strippers
- Low voltage wiring (2-conductor)
4.2 Installation Steps
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location on the door or window frame where the contact can be recessed. Ensure the plunger will be depressed when the door/window is closed and released when opened.
- Drill Hole: Using a 3/4" drill bit, carefully drill a hole into the chosen location on the door or window frame to accommodate the contact body. The depth should allow the contact to sit flush or slightly recessed.
- Route Wiring: Route the low voltage wiring from your alarm control panel to the drilled hole.
- Connect Wires: Strip a small amount of insulation from the ends of the two-conductor wire. Connect one wire to each terminal on the GRI DS-01T-WH contact. Ensure connections are secure.
- Insert Contact: Gently push the contact into the drilled hole. Ensure the wires are not pinched.
- Test Operation: With the alarm system powered on (after installation is complete), test the contact by opening and closing the door/window. Verify that the alarm system registers the open and closed states correctly.
5. Operation
The GRI DS-01T-WH operates as a normally closed (NC) switch. When the door or window is closed, the plunger is depressed, closing the circuit. When the door or window is opened, the plunger extends, opening the circuit and triggering the alarm system (if armed and configured to do so).
6. Maintenance
The GRI DS-01T-WH contact requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term reliability.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exposed part of the contact with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the contact for any signs of physical damage or loose wiring connections.
- Testing: Regularly test the contact's functionality with your alarm system to ensure it is operating correctly.
