Introduction The Garage Door Sensor is designed to be used specifically with vertical opening garage or shed doors. When mounted properly it monitors when the door is open or closed. If the door is opened, the Garage Door Sensor will transmit a signal to the Control Center. The settings on the Control Center determine if an alarm, alert or chime sounds. Parts Check List Identify all the parts before proceeding.
Preparing the Garage Door Sensor for Installation The Garage Door Sensor is a self-contained Sensor. Before installing open the battery door and, remove the yellow battery isolation tape from the Garage Door Sensor. This activates the Lithium battery inside the Garage Door Sensor. The approximate battery life is up to two years. When replacing the battery it is recommended to replace all Sensor batteries at the same time in order ensure proper operation of the entire system.
bottom edge of the Garage Door Sensor even with the door edge. In most applications you can use double sided tape (included). It is strongly suggested to mount Garage Door Sensor lightly to ensure operation. Once you are confident with the mounting position apply pressure to secure to surface. For a more secure installation you can use the included screws. with tape with screws Once the Garage Door Sensor is mounted, you’ll need to assign the Garage Door Sensor to a Zone on the Control Center.
Follow these steps to assign a Sensor to a Zone. Step 1 – Press and hold the Learn button on the Control Center for three seconds. When the Control Center sounds a long beep, release the Learn button. Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the Zone you want to assign to the Garage Door Sensor. The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to flash. Step 3 – Release the Zone button. Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone will not trigger an alarm or chime.
Learn button on the Control Center. The unit will beep once. Step 2 - While holding the Learn button, press and hold the Zone button to be erased. After five seconds the Control Center will sound two beeps and the Zone LED indicator will flash twice. Step 3 - Release all buttons. The Zone has been erased. Note: The Zone/Garage Door Sensor cannot be erased if: - The Zone has been triggered for an Alert or alarm. The Sensor/Zone must be reset.
Note: The sensor has a LED that flashes to show when the sensor has triggered and transmitted to the main unit. Step 4 - When testing is complete, unplug the AC adapter, then plug the AC adapter back in and reinstall batteries. This returns the Control Center to standard operation mode. Note: The Control Center will automatically return to standard operation mode after 5 hours. Low Battery Indicator The Control Center continuously monitors all the Sensors.
Note: The Sensor detection system is ‘range dependant’, which means Sensors located closer to the Control Center may seem to have batteries that last longer than those Sensors at a greater distance. The Lithium cell battery in the Garage Door Sensor can last up to two years.
Garage Door Sensor F.A.Q.’S Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will not recognize it. Why? A. First, make sure that the yellow battery isolation tape has been removed and that the battery is new. Second, ensure the battery is inserted into the Sensor according to polarity(+/-) markings. Third, confirm that the Sensor has been correctly assigned to a Zone. Q. I put the Sensor on Zone 4 and it will not set off the alarm. Why? A.
Q. Why does one of my Zones continually flash? A. This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions. First condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in a Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting the unit into test mode (see pg. 9 of this manual). It may also be that a Sensor is out of range and cannot make contact with the Control Center. If this is the case, you may need to move the Control Center closer or use a Signal Repeater.
