How To Install Magnetic Contact Series 2325-2327 for Door Panel
Installation Instructions
Description
The 2300 Series is designed for use with sectional/panel overhead doors that use metal roller tracks. The contact fits roller tracks up to 3 inches wide.
Selecting a Location
Use the following guidelines to select a location for the contact:
• Mount the switch high enough so the cable is off the floor. If other track-mounted devices interfere, mount the switch under them.
• Locate the magnet away from handles and latches to prevent it from being used as a foothold or a handle to close the door.
Installing the Contact
1. Run the security system wiring to the switch location.
2. Place the switch over the door track. See Figure 1.
3. Slide the beveled edge of the L-bracket into the slot of the switch until it snaps firmly in place. Tighten the screw on the switch down firmly.
Figure 1 • Mounting the Switch
4. Align the magnet with the switch and attach it to the door with the two screws provided as follows:
-The magnet must be 1/4 to 1/2 inch away from the switch. See Figure 3.
-The magnet can be attached at two different elevations from the door. See Figure 3.
