Installation
General
Mount the sensor using three M3 screws or using the supplied mounting bracket. The device
can be mounted without special sensor orientation.
Make sure that the mounting location does not result in a soiled or damaged sensing cable.
Measure sash opening
Measure the length from the mounting surface to the sash. Confirm that sensor extension
length is sufficient for installation.
Mark the location of the sash bottom with the sash fully open and closed.
Measure the distance between fully open and closed position of the sash. Add 5 cm (2 in) to
account for over-travel.
Bracket mounting on sensor
To change measuring cable direction, remove the bracket attaching screws and rotate sen-
sor body to desired direction.
