Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security technicians in accordance with local electrical codes and NFPA 731 guidelines for security system wiring.

Drill recessed mounting holes to the manufacturer-specified bore dimensions for proper fit and magnetic alignment. Verify magnet-to-contact gap clearance after installation to confirm reliable switching operation.
