2 - 2 Installing the Door TransmittersIntroductionThe Door Transmitter, Figure 2-1, is housed in an environmental plastic enclosure. The enclosure hasbeen designed for outdoor use, and has a UV inhibitor in the material. The enclosure is also moisturesealed with a gasket between the cover and case of the enclosure.The Door Transmitter is equipped with a tamper switch. Removing the cover of the Transmitter or placinganother magnet near the case will trigger the tamper alarm.The Transmitter must be mounted on the door frame with the Magnet, Figure 2-2, mounted on the door.The proper alignment of these two components will ensure that the reed switch array will operate correctlywhen the door is opened and the Magnet moves away from the Transmitter. Proper orientation of the doorswitch will also ensure that the antenna is oriented correctly for maximum antenna gain. The magnet is aheavy duty design which allows for greater tolerance, preventing the possibility of false alarms from minormovements of the door. The Transmitter/Magnet assembly should be mounted on the opposite side of the door from the door haspon a roll-up door to avoid hitting the Transmitter with the hasp. On swing doors, mount the Transmitter/Magnet assembly on the opposite side of the door from the hinges to provide adequate separation of theMagnet on opening of the door. Mounting is shown on the left of a roll-up door since most hasps aremounted on the right. On swing doors, the mounting is shown on the right since most hinges are on theleft.If the facility’s configuration is different, rotate the entire assembly, Transmitter and Magnet, keeping theorientation of the Magnet and Transmitter the same.NOTE: If the site has garage type doors or other non standard doors, or any damaged doors or frames, notifyDigitech International, Inc. at 800.523.9504, or contact the Reseller for specific instructions before attempt-ing to install this system.Figure 2-1Figure 2-2
2 - 3DigiGuard™ Door Alarms Installation and Operation Guide1. When installing the Door Transmitter on rollup doors, it should be mounted vertically inthe upper left corner of the door jamb. TheMagnet is mounted horizontally on the doorand aligned with the ridge on the Transmittercase. Figure 2-32. The Magnet mounts horizontally in a recess onthe corrugated door to provide clearance whenthe door rolls up. Figure 2-3Figure 2-3Mounting the Door Transmitter and MagnetRoll Up Doors3. Use the DigiGuard™ mounting template (P/N1420-200) for placement and marking of theholes to mount both the Transmitter and theMagnet. Figure 2-44. Place the larger vertical bar on the door framewith the horizontal smaller bar in one of therecesses on the door approximately 3” belowthe top of the door frame.Note: If the door hasp is mounted on the leftside of the door, invert the mounting templateand use it upside down on the right side of thedoor. The bar in the recess will be lower onthe door than stated in Step 4.5. Mark all holes and remove the template.Figure 2-4
2 - 4 Installing the Door Transmitters6. Center punch all the marks to keep the drillfrom walking off the marks.7. Drill the holes for the Magnet with a 11/64”bit. Figure 2-5CAUTION: DO NOT use the Magnet as atemplate for the drill. The close toleranceon these rivet holes is to insure a stablemounting of the Magnet to the door.Drilling through the rivet holes in theMagnet will enlarge them and leave theMagnet less than ideally secure and stable.8. Place a rivet (Digitech P/N 2840-008,supplied) in each hole on the Magnet andplace it through the drilled hole in the door.9. Finish securing the Magnet with the rivets.Figure 2-6Note: Figure 2-6 shows the proper mountingof the Magnet for optimum performance. Thevertical ridge down the center of the Magnetshould be aligned in the center of the Trans-mitter case.The Magnet has been designed to be easilymounted on existing doors. The rivet holes arelocated on the right so the Magnet can bemounted with minimum effort. The rivet holeson the Magnets have very close tolerances toprovide tight, stable installation. Do notsubstitute the size of the rivets shipped withthe Magnets and do not use the Magnet as a jigfor drilling.Figure 2-6Figure 2-5
2 - 5DigiGuard™ Door Alarms Installation and Operation Guide10. If mounting the Transmitter on an aluminum orwood surface, drill the holes using a 9/64” bit.If the mounting surface is not metal or wood,drill the hole 1/4” to hold an appropriateanchor (not supplied) for the #8 screw.Figure 2-711. Record the Serial Number of the Transmitterand the unit number for later entry into theDigiGate-700™ software. See Appendix B12. Secure the Transmitter using the #8 x 3/4”screws supplied with the case. Figure 2-8Figure 2-8Figure 2-7
2 - 6 Installing the Door TransmittersNOTE: Placing the Magnet closer than 1/2” to the Transmitter will affect the tamperalarm. The Magnet should be from 5/8” to3/4” from the Transmitter when the door isfully closed.13. Figures 2-9 and Figure 2-10 show thecompleted installation.Figure 2-10Figure 2-9
2 - 7DigiGuard™ Door Alarms Installation and Operation Guide1. Installing the Door Transmitters on garagetype panels is the same as standard roll-updoors with the Transmitter and Magnet on theopposite side from the door hasp.NOTE: If the door hasp is mounted on theleft side of the door, mount the Transmitterupside down on the right side of the door asin the standard roll-up door installation.The differences are:2. The Transmitter and Magnet should bemounted in the vertical center of a panel toprevent knocking the Magnet off the doorwhen it is raised. Mounting it near the top orbottom edge of the panel will bring it too closeto the top of the door frame when the door isrolled up. Figure 2-11Garage Type Panel Roll-Up Doors3. The Magnet cannot mount behind the doorframe as it did on the standard roll up door.4. Since less of the magnet is positioned behindthe Transmitter, the magnetic strength is lessand the Transmitter should be mounted with agap about 1/4” less than a standard roll-updoor. Figure 2-12NOTE: The Transmitter should beapproximately 1/2” to 5/8” from the Magnetand should be tested to insure correctoperation.Figure 2-12Figure 2-11
2 - 8 Installing the Door TransmittersFigure 2-131. Mount the Transmitter vertically at theupper corner of the door frame, as statedabove, opposite the hinged side of thedoor. The edge of the case should beapproximately 1/4” from the edge of thedoor frame.2. The Magnet is mounted vertically on thedoor with the ridge alignment for theMagnet/Transmitter case as stated above.Figure 2-133. The gap between the Magnet and theTransmitter case should be 1/2”.4. Place the Transmitter housing as shown inFigure 2-135. Use the holes in the flanges as a template,mark the holes for the mounting screws.6. Drill these holes using a 9/64” bit.7. Record the Serial Number of the Transmit-ter and the unit number for later entry intothe DigiGate-700™ software.8. Secure the Transmitter using the #8 x 3/4”screws supplied with the case.9. Place the Magnet in the proper positionand mark the holes.10. Drill using an 11/64”.11. Place a rivet (Digitech P/N 2840-008,supplied) in each hole on the Magnet andplace it through the drilled hole in thedoor.12. Finish securing the Magnet with the rivets.NOTE: Do NOT drill through themounting holes on either Magnet orTransmitter.Swing DoorsWhen installing the Door Transmitter on swing doors, the Transmitter should be mountedvertically and inverted (upside down for the right side door frame) or in its standard configurationfor the left side door frame.The Transmitter and Magnet should be mounted on the side of the door opposite from the hinges(the latch side). The gap between the Transmitter and the Magnet should be 1/2 inch and as closeto the top of the door as possible.The ridge on the Magnet should align about 1/4” above (toward the center of the transmitter) theridge on the Transmitter case.Mounting the Transmitter and Magnet
