4-2 The Magnetic Switch LC 1200 Manual
Mounting
To mount the Magnetic Switch, refer to Figure
4.3 and use the following instructions:
1. After choosing your location, following
the hole pattern shown in Figure 4.2,
drill two 7/64” (0.109) mounting holes
in the doorframe to accommodate the
Switch. This size hole also coincides
with the self-tapping screws provided
with the Switch. Be careful not to drill
these holes oversize.
2. Drill a 5/16” (0.312) pass-through hole
in the doorframe to accommodate the
wire from the LC unit to the Switch.
NOTE: This door frame hole should be
drilled so that the wire will come up just
under the middle screw terminal (N.C.)
of the switch. This hole can be drilled a
little smaller, but not larger. If this hole
is drilled too far out from the body of
the Switch, then the Switch cover will
not be able to hide this hole. Be sure to
“de-burr” this hole.
3. Fish the 2-conductor/22-gauge wire
through the large hole and strip enough
insulation to make a good connection to
the switch.
4. Connect the RED wire to the “COM”
terminal of the Switch.
5. Connect the BLACK wire to the “N.O.”
terminal of the Switch.
6. Gently guide the excess cable back
through the hole in the frame, while
moving the Switch into position over its
mounting holes.
7. While positioning the Switch, insert a
mounting screw through each hole and
secure the Switch in place.
NOTE: Be careful not to pinch the wires
when tightening.
8. Using the spacer provided in the kit,
position the Door Magnet as shown in
Figure 4.3 and mark where the mounting
holes (7/64”) will be drilled.

9. After you have marked and drilled your
holes, mount the magnet with the 1/8”
spacer in between the magnet and the
door.
NOTE: Remember, if the door frame is
metal, you must
install the spacer in
between the magnet and the door or the
magnet will lose effectiveness.
