Sentrol 2300 Series Panel Door Magnetic Contact Installation Instructions
Description
The 2300 Series is designed for use with sectional/panel overhead doors that use metal roller tracks. The contact fits roller tracks up to 3 inches wide.
Selecting a Location
Use the following guidelines to select a location for the contact:
- Mount the switch high enough so the cable is off the floor. If other track-mounted devices interfere, mount the switch under them.
- Locate the magnet away from handles and latches to prevent it from being used as a foothold or a handle to close the door.
Installing the Contact
- Run the security system wiring to the switch location.
- Place the switch over the door track. See Figure 1.
- Slide the beveled edge of the L-bracket into the slot of the switch until it snaps firmly in place. Tighten the screw on the switch down firmly.
- Align the magnet with the switch and attach it to the door with the two screws provided as follows:
- The magnet must be 1/4 to 1/2 inch away from the switch. See Figure 3.
- The magnet can be attached at two different elevations from the door. See Figure 3.
- Connect the switch wires to the security system wiring and verify the switch works properly.
