SiXCT-OD Wireless Outdoor Sensor – Quick Installation Guide
General Information and Component Identification
The Honeywell Home SiXCT-OD Wireless Outdoor Sensor (referred
to as the Sensor) brings the convenience of wireless technology to
the outdoors.
 Weatherized security protection for an outdoor environment.
Great for sheds, barns, garages, pool gates, fences, and rural
mailbox (notifications). Can be painted.
 Cover and rear tamper detection.
 Operating Environment: – 40 to +66

C (– 40 to +150

F) at RH of
100% (UL: Rated at RH of 85%).
 Meets NEMA4X water protection.
 Sensor: 4-3/8” x 2-1/16” x 1-9/16”
Magnet: 4-1/16” x 15/16” x 1-7/32” with spacer.
 Maximum Magnet Gap: Wood 1.9 in., Steel: 1.4 in.
 For extra wide gaps use the 7945-2GY external contact. (Always
check installation to ensure there are no false alarms due to gap
spacing.)
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
The SiXCT-OD has two unique zones; the Loop #1 is for a wired closed circuit
contact loop and Loop #2 is for the built-in reed switch (used in conjunction
with a magnet). Either or both zones may be used.
A built-in tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed, or if the
Sensor is detached from its mounting.
Installing / Replacing the Batteries
IMPORTANT:
 Always change both batteries. Do not mix weak batteries with
new batteries.
 Use two (2) lithium 1.5VDC AA cells. (For best life, use
Eveready's Energizer Ultimate LITHIUM AA batteries.) Alkaline
batteries may be used but the battery life and temperature range
will be reduced.
 OBSERVE BATTERY POLARITY.
Battery Replacement:
1. Remove cover screw and swing Sensor to remove from Sensor
Mounting Plate.
2. Use screwdriver in any pivot point and pry Sealing Cover off.
Replace batteries.
3. Orient the Sealing Cover so the screw hole lines up with the
screw hole in the sensor cover, and press to close.
4. Engage Sensor tabs into mating holes in Sensor Mounting Plate
and swing closed. Secure with cover screw.
Mounting Guidelines
 Before mounting the Sensor permanently, conduct a sensor test
(see control panel’s instructions) to verify adequate signal
strength. Reorient or relocate if necessary.
 This device is intended for vertical surfaces (to be mounted at a
sufficient height) where snow, ice and water buildup will not
interfere with its operation.
 Before final mounting, ensure water protection by ALWAYS
adding silicone caulk to surround the rubber wire seal on the
Sealing Cover.
 Mount the Magnet on the magnet sensing side of the Sensor as
identified by the side ribs on the Sensor.
 Mount the Sensor on a stationary surface, and mount the Magnet
on the moveable surface.
 Mount the Magnet parallel with the Sensor. Use the Magnet
Spacer where necessary to make the Magnet top near level with
the Sensor top.
 When used on wooden sheds and barns, it is recommended to
mount the sensor and magnet on the inside of the structure when
possible.
 Use screws suitable for the material being fastened to.
 UL: When mounting on curved surfaces, the Sensor and Magnet
must be fastened by both strap ties and screws.
Tamper Protection:
The tamper switch is activated when either the cover is removed, or if
the sensor is detached from its mounting.
In order for the tamper switch to sense if the sensor is detached from
its mounting, you must secure the breakaway tab on the Sensor
Mounting Plate.
