How To Install Magnetic Contact Series 2315-2317 for Panel Door
Installation Instructions
Mounting
Caution: Locate the magnet away from manual handles and latches to prevent it from being used as a foothold or handle to close the door.
1. Slide the slot of the switch over the beveled-edge of the L-bracket and snap it tightly into place as shown in Figure 1. Screw down firmly.
2. Align the magnet with the switch and use screws to attach it to the door as shown in Figure 2. The switch and magnet must be aligned within 1/2 inch of each other to prevent false alarms.
Optional: Use the existing roller-track bolts to mount the switch without using the L-Bracket as shown in Figure 3.
3. Connect the switch wires to the alarm system and test to verify proper operation.
Important: The contact should be mounted at least 13 inches from the floor. If other track- mounted devices interfere, mount the switch under them.
The magnet can be attached at two different elevations from the door.
Fits standard 2" roller-tracks for sectional/panel overhead doors.
