User Manual

The Door/Window Sensor detects
whether a door, window, or other
thing is Open or Closed. The sensor
has two parts - a larger part, into
which the battery is placed, and a
smaller part (which is actually a
magnet). The Door/Window Sensor is
designed for use indoors but it can be
used on external windows or doors,
providing that the larger part is
normally indoors. You can use the
Door/Window Sensor to check whether
ground floor exterior doors and large
windows are open or closed (especially
helpful when combined with AlertMe's
warning if you leave your home set to
"Away" without closing everything!).
The larger part of the sensor is
usually placed on the door or
window frame, and the smaller
m agnet placed on the door or
window itself; the two parts m ust be
parallel to each other, and as close
to touching as you can place them ,
without stopping the m oving part
from opening smoothly. Each part of
the sensor has a pair of little lines on
one side; you should install the sensor
with those sides with the little lines
next to each other . This is illustrated
in the bottom half of this page. Try to
leave at least a centimetre or so of
em pty space at either end of the
Door/Window Sensor.
