    Overview

    • Contact and magnet must be installed on the protected side of the door.
    • Wiring diagram in the PDF shows the SM-4601-LQ; the SM-4601-L3Q wiring will differ.

    Installation

    Read the manual carefully before beginning installation.

    1. Mount the contact on the track in a safe location away from equipment interference, near where the magnet will be when the door is closed.
    2. Run the armored cable out of the way. Run wires from the alarm control panel and connect to the corresponding wires extending from the cable armor.
    3. Mount the magnet on the roll-up door so it triggers the contact when the door is closed. Make sure the gap between contact and magnet does not exceed 3" (76mm).
