Tips on Installing Contact sensors on windows or doors

  1.  Make sure to clean the window and frame thoroughly before sticking the sensors on.   
  2. Make sure the sensor placement will not get in the way of opening and closing the window 
  3. Ensure that the Sensor is placed in an area where both sides can lay flat and be as level with each other as possible. 
  4. The Arrows on each side of the sensors are aligned  
  5. Each side of the sensor is about 1/4" apart or less.  
  6. Installed as high as possible on the window if possible to prevent it from getting knocked out of place.  
  7. Although the large side of the sensor is typically placed on the frame. in some instances there is not enough room on the frame, therefore it is better to have the large side on the window instead and the magnet side on the frame.
