How to Connect Recessed Mount Sensor to Door ?

download (2)

Recessed door sensors are used in Home security alarm systems to sense opening and closing of doors. In recessed Mount sensors the contact and the magnet are recessed (Hidden) into the door and door frame. A small circular hole must be drilled into the door frame and in a corresponding point on the door to place the sensors.The Working of Recessed mount sensor is same as Surface mount sensor,When the magnet moves away from contact(Switch) the circuit gets opened and alarm raises.

Placing of Recessed Mount sensors are quite a tough job which should be done with lot of care.It involves drilling of door frame and door ,so fix the place where you are going to place the sensor and start the work.

Like surface mount sensor ,recessed type also has two parts one Magnet part and one Reed switch part.

Placing of Reed Switch part of Recessed Mount Sensor.

The Reed switch part is the wired part of sensor where you have 2 Wires or More.This part should be placed at the Door Frame as in the picture above. While drilling make a way to take the wires out which should lead to the alarm panel.

Placing of Magnet Part.

Mark a Point straight from the area where the reed switch part placed in door frame and drill a hole,here the magnet part of the sensor should be placed.

Before connecting it to the alarm panel, check with the multi meter for continuity when door is closed.If tested OK proceed to connecting it to alarm panel.

How to Connect Surface Mount Magnetic Sensor to Door ?

Surface Mount Magnetic Sensors are used to protect doors in Wired Burglar/intrusion alarm system. The switch is mounted to the surface of a door or window, the switch has a contact, which is closed by magnetic field generated by magnet. When the door or window moves away from the magnet, the switch opens and it is sensed by the alarm control panel.The sensors should be placed from inner side of the door ,Surface Mount Sensors have two parts one reed switch and one Magnet.Now Lets See where these 2 Parts should be placed in a Door while installation.

Placing of Reed Switch Part

The Reed Switch Part is the wired part of the sensor.Wiring From alarm panel zone should be connected to the terminals on the Reed switch part.So keep in mind that this part should be placed at an fixed place of the door as it involves wiring ,that is in Doorframes. Look at the picture above to understand clearly.

Placing of Magnetic Part

The Other part i.e is magnet part should be placed in the moving part of the door.It should be drilled properly so that it does not change position.

Working of Magnetic Sensor

When the Reed switch part and magnet part are close to each other it creates an closed circuit as the reed switch will be closed due to the magnetic pull generated  by the magnet part,when the door is opened (Alarm in Armed state) magnet part moves away from the switch resulting in loss of magnetic pull which in turn results in  open circuit,this will make the alarm to raise.

Placing Distance between Reed Switch part and Magnet Part ?

You can Place both parts at a distance where you get continuity when checked with a multi meter.

atss-108-2-zone-alarm-system-india

Active 108 is an 2 Zone Burglar Alarm which Provides 100% security for your Properties.It Consists of 2 Zones , 1 Panic zone , 2 Siren Provision,Provision to connect back up battery.Activation & Deactivation of the system is done through Key.It has 2 Modes of Operation Day Mode/Night Mode

Now Lets See how to plan the installation of Active 108 Burglar/Intrusion Alarm System.

Zone 1

zone 1

Zone 1 Must be connected to Main door of the home, because Zone 1 has the time delay feature ,which provides you time to enter home and deactivate the system. Control panel should be placed near main door but at a safe place where you can reach in few seconds.With in the Time delay time you need to deactivate the system else the siren will start ringing.

Zone 2

zone 2

Areas such as Windows,Shutters,etc can be connected to Zone 2 in series connection, Zone 2 is immediate Zone,Once the zones are violated it alerts the control panel immediately and the sirens starts ringing.

Panic Zone

panic zone

Active 108 has an separate Zone for Panic,using this zone you can connect an panic switch/Button and place It in an area where kids can’t reach but accessible for you during emergency situations (For example Bedroom etc).Once Panic switch is switched the siren starts ringing.

Sirens

siren 2

Active 108 has provision for 2 Sirens, Make sure you place both sirens at various end of the home.If placed at same place burglars can tamper both at same time,if placed at various place if one siren is tampered another will start ringing immediately as both sirens terminals have tamper provisions which you can use.
