Wireless Magnetic Door / Window Contact Sensor
Item# 73933

Overview

  • Magnetic contact used to monitor normally closed entry points such as doors and windows
  • Wirelessly communicates with a compatible home security system up to 300 feet away
  • Adjustable radio frequency settings and built-in technology prevent missed signals and transmission errors

Essential Info

Monitor doors, windows, gun cases, jewelry boxes, or just about anything that opens and closes. The Wireless Magnetic Door / Window Contact Sensor is a protective device that can send notification when the opening and closure of doors and windows occurs. It is designed to send a wireless signal to a compatible home security system when the contact between the transmitter and corresponding magnetic sensor is broken. Additionally, an LED light illuminates whenever the magnetic contact is broken. An Anti-collision algorithm prevents signal jamming by simultaneous transmission from multiple devices. This wireless sensor is powered by a 3.6 V Lithium CR-2-type battery, included, that typically lasts about three years. A weak battery will transmit a message during any status report the system completes.

    A little on the bulky side but no other complaints.
    PATRICK J -- abingdon, MD   8/29/2009
    I've been using these contacts for 6 years now. They are consistent performers!
    EUGENE -- henderson, NC   8/20/2009
    Very easy to install except on mobile home sliding glass door where you couldn't put screws. Some heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape seems to have solved that problem.
    RICHARD -- philadelphia, PA   8/6/2009
    Contacts are very large,much larger than the normal contacts with other systems.Directions were unclear on assembling and installing the diode if needed.
    JAY -- high springs, FL   6/12/2009

    DOUGLAS -- white river jct, VT   3/13/2009
    fine - except the battery is not the same part as the older models of the same switch. CR2 new/TL5902 old.

    works perfectly as expected. easy to configure
    D O -- laurinburg, NC   1/31/2009

    very easy to add to the existing security system
    DAVE -- sayville, NY   10/23/2008
    very good but still kind of big
    CHUNG -- bangor, ME   8/18/2008
    it would be nice to include shims for mounting doorways that have thick molding framing the door
    LUCYNA -- kalamazoo, MI   5/22/2008

    JARED -- west rushville, OH   3/27/2008
    These pefectly. Now if you could just make the Alarm panel smaller.
    STEVEN -- friendswood, TX   3/23/2008
    Magnetic contact is too visable and a model tha can be embeded in the edge of the door and in the door jam would be very nice addition to the product line.
    TYLER -- frederica, DE   2/28/2008
    the contacts are not for vinyl windows but were easy to adapt.The contact side with maganet should be a snapped part with 2sided taped also to be used
    ANTHONY -- laveen, AZ   2/16/2008
