How to replace the batteries
1. Insert a slotted screwdriver to the slot at the bottom of the device and open the enclosure.
2. Take out the batteries and place new ones in the holder. Observe polarity! The detector goes into test mode for five
minutes, before going to normal mode.
3. Close the enclosure and test the DCM; see
How to install the DCM
You can mount fix the detector and magnet using the supplied screws or tapes. In any way, it is recommended to attach the detector
to the fixed frame, and the magnet to the movable part (door or window).
To mount the detector using screws, do the following.
1. Insert a slotted screwdriver to the slot at the bottom of the detector and open the enclosure.
2. Remove the knock outs on the back of the enclosure (no. 8 in the figure on the first page).
3. Fix the back to the surface with screws. Make sure the magnet is centered with the notch on the enclosure's side, and is no more
than two centimeters away from the enclosure.
Make sure to use the tamper's hole (the middle one), to alert when the DCM is being
removed from the mounting surface.
When using the tapes to mount the DCM, the tamper will only alert when the enclosure is
opened.
4. If you use an external device, connect it to the terminal block (no. 6 in the figure on the top page) using two wires (not supplied).
5. Close the enclosure, running the external device's wires through the inlet (no. 9 in the figure on the first page).
6. Fix the magnet's (no. 1 in the figure on the first page) backplate to the surface with screws. The magnet should be located against
the mark on the detector (no. 10 in the figure on the first page), two centimeters away from the detector.
7. Insert the magnet to the enclosure and close it.
8. Enroll the DCM; see the alarm system's Installation guide for instructions.
9. Test the DCM, using the
How to set the DIP switch

How to test the DCM
When placing new batteries the detector goes into test mode for five minutes. During this time the LED will flash according to the LED
table above, even if the DIP switch is in off position. The tamper switch will not report during the first three minutes.
Universal transmitter
The universal transmitter can be used to transmit events from normally closed contact devices - pushbuttons, hardwired detectors, and
door contacts - to the control panel. The devices connect to the terminal block of the DCM (no. 6 in the above figure) with two wires
(not supplied).
To disconnect the magnet and use only the transmitter, set DIP switch #1 to the Off position.
