Description
The Elpas Magnetic Contact is a battery operated; wireless universal door contact designed for use in
Elpas Safety, Security and Visibility solutions. The device can be mounted anywhere to secure door and
window openings. The transmitter emits EMI safe 433MHz RF messages that enables the reporting a
monitoring of ‘State’ changes from one dry contact input to be sent via the Elpas Ethernet RTLS
infrastructure to a host Elpas RTLS application or to other management monitoring solutions.
The Magnetic Contact provides a single zone of protection, and installs easily on doors or windows with
the included mounting hardware or double-sided The contact has three unique input loops (zones )The
first loop (primary loop) is supervised and typically used for high-priority alarm reporting such as
commercial fire or burglary. The second loop is the built-in, normally closed reed switch used in
conjunction with magnet; the third loop is another normally closed household burglary loop.

Aux Inputs Interface
The Magnetic Contact contains aux input terminals for
connecting two analog alert monitoring inputs.
Tamper Switch
The Magnetic Contact contains a spring loaded tamper switch
that when pressed, generates a ‘State’ message that is useful for
registering the monitoring point in the host application
Once registered, the tamper switch can also be used as an input
trigger for a device supervision tamper alert indicating non-
authorized attempts to remove the device’s cover.
Power
The Magnetic Contact derives its power from one CR2430 type
lithium battery (factory supplied) or alternatively from a single
1/2AA battery.
IMPORTANT: The Wireless Input Module as well as all the input devices
to be monitored should be powered down when wiring in order to prevent
accidental shorts/spikes to cause damage to any of the devices.
Supported Event Transmissions
The Magnetic Contact can transmit state changes from up to two dry
contact inputs (as a button press event message) to the host RTLS server.
Input 1 – Button 1 Event
Input 2 – Button 2 Event
The Magnetic Contact can also transmit a state change from the tamper
switch (as a motion event message) indicating a non-authorized attempt to
remove the module’s cover.
Tamper Switch – Motion Event
Note: Whenever a state change is detected the input module
automatically transmits 4 RF event messages 400ms apart with each
transmission about 2ms in duration).
Status Indicator
The Magnetic Contact has a Red Status LED that flashes
once/second signaling either a low voltage condition or that the
device is transmitting.
Lithium Battery Installation (supplied with device)
Before inserting the CR2430 type lithium battery into the
module’s battery holder, confirm that the holes of the battery
Isolator are aligned with the contact pins. Then ensure that the
positive (+) side of the battery faces the PCB.
IMPORTANT: Inserting the 3.6V/1.2Ah battery improperly into
the battery clip may cause damage to the Magnetic Contact.
Installation Mounting
Attach the Magnetic Contact to the fixed frame and the magnet to
the movable part (door or window), as shown below. Make sure
that the magnet is located not more than 6mm (0.25 in) from the
transmitter’s marked side .
Step 1: Remove the case closure screw
Step 2: Remove the unit’s cover
Step 3: Flex out the circuit board retainer and detach the circuit board
from the base.

Step 4: Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark the
drilling points through the mounting holes
Step 5: Drill the holes and fix the base to the wall using the 2 screws
with countersunk heads supplied in the package.
Step 6: Mount the magnet near the marked side of reed switch.
Step 7: Insert the edge of the circuit board with the RF module into the
edge supports and press the other edge against the flexible retainer until it
snaps home with a click
Preparation for Use
The Magnetic Contact is equipped with a 4-position DIP switch Each switch lever enables selecting 1 of 2 options.
B. Setting the Switches
Set the function switches as desired prior to applying power.
Use a ball point pen or another pointed object to shift the switch levers. The ON position is indicated by the arrow on the switch body .

SW4
Transmit Mode
In non-supervised systems, it is sometimes
required to report an alarm repeatedly at short
intervals, until the disturbed input reverts to its
normal (undisturbed) state. SW-4 is used to select
between repetitive and one-shot transmission.
Note: Transmissions initiated by “tamper” events
will be repeated once every 3 minutes, regardless
of SW-4 setting.When done, Install the battery as
directed in Para. 4.2.
ON
Reports alarms every 3 min.
OFF
OFF
Reports alarms only once
