1. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your DAYTECH Door/Window Sensor.
1.1. Pre-Installation Checks
Before attaching the sensor, ensure the chosen location meets the following criteria:
- Avoid high moisture areas: Do not install in bathrooms or other places with excessive humidity.
- Stable and smooth surface: Avoid unstable or easily scratched surfaces.
- Away from strong magnets: Keep the sensor away from strong magnetic fields to prevent interference.
- Check for physical obstruction: Ensure the main unit does not collide with the magnet when the door or window opens and closes.

1.2. Battery Installation
The sensor requires two AAA batteries (included). Open the battery compartment cover on the main unit and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the cover securely.

1.3. Mounting the Sensor
The DAYTECH sensor uses a main unit and a smaller magnetic unit. For optimal performance, ensure they are aligned correctly and within the specified distance.
- Align the triangular marks: Match the triangular marks on the main unit and the magnet.
- Check the distance: The gap between the main unit and the magnet should be within 2.5 cm for metal surfaces and 2.0 cm for wood, glass, or resin surfaces.
- Test before final attachment: After temporary placement, perform an open/close test to confirm detection. Once confirmed, firmly attach using the provided double-sided tape.
The double-sided tape provides a strong hold. Once applied, repositioning may be difficult. Press firmly for about 10 seconds, and the adhesive will be fully fixed after approximately 30 minutes.

2. Operating Instructions
Your DAYTECH sensor offers multiple modes and adjustable settings to suit various needs.
2.1. Understanding Operating Modes
The device features 5 distinct operating modes:
- Door Chime Mode (Single Chime): Ideal for visitor notification. The device emits a single chime sound when the door opens.
- Security Buzzer Mode (Continuous Alarm): For intrusion detection. The alarm sounds continuously immediately after the door/window opens.
- Delayed Notification Mode (30-second delay): Useful for refrigerator doors. Notifies after a 30-second delay if the door remains open.
- Delayed Notification Mode (1-minute delay): Similar to the 30-second delay, but with a 1-minute delay.
- Delayed Notification Mode (2-minute delay): Similar to the 30-second delay, but with a 2-minute delay.
Image: This diagram visually explains the five operating modes: a single chime for visitor alerts, an immediate continuous alarm for security, and three delayed notification options (30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes) suitable for applications like refrigerator doors or areas that remain open for longer periods.
2.2. Switching Modes
To switch between modes, briefly press the power key. The LED will flash, and a chime will sound once to confirm the mode change. During an alarm, any button press can stop the alarm.
Door Chime Mode: Ideal for small shops, entryways, and indoor doors. When the door opens, a single chime sounds. Choose from 27 chime types.

2.3. Volume Adjustment and Chime Selection
The sensor offers 5 levels of volume adjustment and 27 different chime sounds. Adjust the volume and select your preferred chime using the dedicated buttons on the side of the main unit. This allows you to customize the alert to your environment, whether you need a loud alarm during the day or a subtle notification at night.
The maximum volume is 110dB, ensuring you are alerted even in noisy environments. For quiet times, you can lower the volume, and the LED indicator will still provide a visual alert.

3.2. Cleaning
Wipe the sensor and magnet with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.
