Installation and specification sheet for the ION Security Products™ MICRA™ Wireless Window Security Sensor — a fully concealed, wireless window sensor for residential and commercial applications.
Product Overview
- Fully concealed design, suitable for wood, vinyl, and aluminum-clad windows.
- Compatible with DSC and GE Wireless Receivers.
- Simple installation using only common tools (drill + 3/4" Forstner bit).
- Composed of a micro-processor, micro-transmitter, lithium battery, and optimized antenna.
- Battery life: 5+ years average.
Installation Steps
Step 1 — Measure and Drill
Using a 3/4" Forstner drill bit, drill into the vinyl window mainframe. Warning: do not penetrate the outer wall of the window frame — the cavity core depth is 0.33". For side-mount transmitter placement on vinyl sliders, measure 3" down from the inside top corner.
Step 2 — Place and Set
Insert the MICRA sensor into the drilled cavity. Carefully insert the antenna and place the transmitter body — do not cut or coil the antenna.
Step 3 — Sash Magnet Placement
Place the adhesive-backed Surface Mount Magnet aligned with the MICRA Transmitter, per the required orientation for reliable triggering.

How It Works
The MICRA sensor and its companion sash magnet are installed close together inside the window frame. When the window opens and the magnet moves away from the sensor, the transmitter detects the separation and sends an alarm signal to the connected DSC or GE wireless receiver.
