The Door Contact is used to detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. Typically the Door Contact is fixed to the door frame and the actuating magnet is fixed to the door. When the door opens, the magnet is moved away from the Door Contact and an internal magnetic switch will be activated causing the Door Contact to transmit an alarm.
A PCB tamper switch protects the enclosure from being opened or being removed from the mounting surface and also alert you to signal communication problems and low battery situations.

Each time the Test Button is pressed, the Door Contact will transmit a test signal to the Control Panel for radio range test and enter the test mode for 3 minutes. When the test signal is transmitted, the Red LED will light on.
Under Test Mode, the LED will light up whenever the Door Contact is activated.
Each additional press on the Test Button will rest Test Mode to 3 minutes.
The Door Contact conducts self-test periodically by transmitting a Supervisory signal once every 30~50 mins. If this signal is not received, the Control Panel will indicate on its screen that the particular Door Contact is experiencing an out-of-signal problem.
The Door Contact uses CR2 3V Lithium battery as its power source. When low battery voltage is detected, a low battery signal will be send to the Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly.
When the battery is exhausted, the Door Contact will stop all function, the LED will flash every 4 seconds.
Before shipment, the battery is pre-installed by the factory with an Insulator inserted. Please remove the battery insulator to activate the Door Contact.
The Door Contact has two separate functions that works independently and are learnt into separate zones in Control Panel.
The Internal Magnetic Switch monitors door opening and closing. The PCB tamper protects the door contact from cover opening and removal from mounting location
The Internal Magnetic Switch and built-in PCB Tamper Switch are learnt into panel by pressing the Learn/Test button once.
The Extension Terminal 1 is used to connect to either a N.C. (Normal Close) device or a Roller Shutter
The Extension Terminal 2 is used to connect to an external N.C. Tamper Switch, it transmits tamper signal when activated
The Extension Terminals are learnt into panel by pressing and holding the Learn/Test Button for 3 seconds
If you want to disable one of the functions, remove its corresponding zone from the Control Panel.
Pull out the battery Insulator.
Put the Control Panel into learning mode.
Learn in the Internal Magnetic Switch/PCB Tamper and Extension Terminals into separate zones on Control Panel.
- Press the Test Button once to transmit learn code for magnetic switch and PCB Tamper.
- Press and hold for 3 seconds to transmit a separate learn code for extension terminals.
If the signal is received by the Control Panel, the panel will display the information accordingly, please refer to the Control Panel manual to complete the learning process.
After the Door Contact is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode, hold the Door Contact in the desired location, and press the Test button to confirm this location is within signal range of the Control Panel.
When you are satisfied that the Door Contact works in the chosen location, you can proceed with installation.
It is recommended that the Door Contact should be placed on the door frame and the magnet on the door. If the door contact is placed on the door, and the door is opened too fast, the transmitted distance may be shorted. The magnet should not be more than 15mm from the Door Contact when the door is closed.
Note:
If the Door Contact cannot be mounted on the door frame, you can connect additional switches to the “Extension Terminal” and mount the Door Contact remotely (for details, please refer to “Using the Extension Terminal” section).
Step 1: Find a suitable place that is close to your door / window to locate the Door Contact.
Step 2: The Door Contact has 2 rib-marks on one side (refer to figure), where the internal magnet switch is located. The door contact should be installed either upright or inverted, to ensure that the rib-marked side faces the magnet.
Step 3: To mount the Door Contact:
(i) Using the 2 mounting holes of the Door Contact as a template, mark off the hole positions on the most appropriate place.
(ii) Insert the wall plugs if fixing into plaster or brick
(iii) Screw the Door Contact into the wall plugs.
Step 4: Fit the magnet on the door using the small double sided adhesive tape or the screws provided. The magnet must be aligned with the marked side of the door contact as shown in figure.
Note:
Ensure the PCB tamper switch spring is positioned so that it makes contact with the mounting surface through the tamper switch aperture.
Step 5: Test the Door Contact by opening and closing the door or window when the Control Panel is in “Walk Test” mode.
Step 6: Fit the white caps to the two mounting holes of the Door Contact..
Step 7: Installation is now completed.

8. Test Button
Extension Terminal 1
The Extension Terminal 1 can be programmed by Jumper Switch JP3 setting to either work with a N.C. device or a Roller Shutter.
N.C. (Normal Close)
When set to N.C., Terminal 1 forms a closed loop with the device connected to it. When the device is triggered, the loop will be opened; the Door Contact will also be triggered.
1. Open the Door Contact by loosening the fixing screw
2. The upper end of the front case has a thinner plastic knockout. Break through the knockout to create a hole for the wiring connection to the extension terminal.
3. Connect the device to the extension terminal
The Extension terminal may be useful for the following situation.
If the Door Contact cannot be mounted on the door frame, you can connect an additional extension switch to the extension terminal to mount the Door Contact remotely.
Any dry contact device with N.C. (Normal Close) loop can be connected to the Extension Terminal making the Door Contact serve as an Universal Transmitter.
Multiple dry contact device can be wired together with Door Contact, as show in diagram.
When set as Roller Shutter, Terminal 1 can be triggered by the rotations of the axle.
Whether the pull string is pulled down or retracted, it will cause axle rotation. Option are available for alarm trigger with 5, 6 or 8 axle rotations.
Φ 5 axle rotations are about 9.5 cm.
Φ 6 axle rotations are about 10.5 cm.
Φ 8 axle rotations are about 13 cm.
When the Pulse does not achieve the number of triggered times in 10 sec, the count will reset.
The times of Pulse, which causes the terminal 2 alarm trigger, can be programmed by Jumper 5, 6 or 8. Only one of the three can be selected ON. If more than one of the three are set as ON or none is set as ON, the Terminal 2 will be triggered after 6 Pulse are counted in 10 seconds.
The Termianl 2 should be connected to a N.C. device. The Door Contact will transmit a Tamper Open signal when the terminal is activated.
