alignment, slide spacer on to Magnet.
Bracket on angled door frame and Magnet on door.
Place Bracket at 90 degree angle to Magnet on door
Note:
o Insufficient Mounting Space: If your door
frame does not provide enough room for
mounting the Bracket you may need to use a
sensor extension. See the Sensor Extension
Instructions in the User Guide.
o Metal Doors and Windows: If you are
mounting a magnet to a metal door or metal
window, install a spacer under the magnet to
maintain performance.
Add Spacers (If Needed)
If Bracket and Magnet do not align within ¾ inch, add
Spacers to either the Bracket or Magnet to make them
level.
Example: Spacer added to Magnet to close the gap
between the Bracket and Magnet to within ¾”

Bracket and Magnet Installation
Windows
The process for mounting a Bracket and Magnet to a
window is very similar to installing on a door. See the
door installation instructions, above.
Various mounting positions that work for attaching
sensors to windows:
Option 1
Option 2
Options 1 and 2: Standard window mounting
placement
Option 3: Less Common window mounting placement
Note: If your window frame does not provide enough
room for mounting the bracket you may need to use a
sensor extension. See Sensor Extension Section.
See the User Guide for more window installation
options.
Install the Sensor
Once the Bracket and Magnet are attached to the door
or window, Sensors may be installed. You will need to
have the Handset with you to install the Sensor.

in the desired name. Press OK when
complete.
Press SELECT
For a standard Sensor installation, select “Sensor
Only”.
If you are using an Extension, select “Extension” (see
the Sensor Extension Installation section)
Sensor Not Found/Sensor Not Added
Sensor Not Found/Sensor Not Added
If your system can not detect a Sensor that you are
trying to add, the Handset or Console displays “Sensor
Not Found”; “Not Enough GCs Heard Sensor”; or “No
GCs Heard Sensor”.
1. Retry: Using the slot provided on the top of the
Sensor lightly pry the Sensor away from the mounted
Bracket. Press OK on the display and add the Sensor
again.
If Sensor is still “Not Found”, proceed to Step 2.
2. Isolate Sensor: Remove Sensor and add a different
Sensor. You will be able to obtain further
troubleshooting instructions of this Sensor in the
Troubleshooting section of this guide.
If Sensor does not work proceed to Step 3.
3. Move Grid Controller: Move one of your Grid
Controllers (Console, Base or Grid Extender) closer to
this Sensor mounting location. The most flexible choice
for this is the Grid Extender.
CAUTION: Moving the Grid Extender could disrupt your
previous added Sensors.
If you continue to have trouble adding the Sensor,
try the following:
Move a Grid Controller: If the system again indicates
that it can not find the Sensor;
1. Move a Grid Extender or Console closer to
where the Sensor is being installed.
2. Wait at least 30 seconds, and try installing
the Sensor again.
CAUTION: Moving a Grid Extender or Console could
disrupt the installation of previously installed Sensors.
The system will begin to beep within 30 seconds if a
Sensor is no longer within range of a Grid Controller
and the display will indicate the name of the Sensor that
is out of range.
Add a Grid Controller: If a beep results indicating a
Sensor is out of range, you may need to add a Grid
Extender or Console for additional range.
If these retry solutions do not work call InGrid Customer
Service for assistance.
Test Sensors
Sensors should be tested to make sure they are
installed and working properly. To test the sensor
installation:
o With the system disarmed, open the door or
window. This separates the Sensor and
Magnet and notifies the system.
This condition will be displayed on the Console and
Handset as <sensor name> “Open”.
You will also hear a chime each time you open and
close your door or window.
Sensor Extension Installation
Important: An Extension must be connected to the
Sensor prior to clipping the Sensor into the Bracket.
Determine Sensor Bracket and Magnet Mounting
Location
Determine if the Sensor mounting location will
accommodate the Bracket. If room is not available on
your door or window frame, a sensor extension may be
used. The sensor extension will allow you to place the
Sensor up to 15” away from the Magnet.
