Mounting

It is highly recommended to attach the transmitter to the top of the door/window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable part (door or window). Make sure that the magnet is located not more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the transmitter’s marked side. The transmitter should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on the moving surface.

Sensors can be added to your system during activation, or at a later time.  If you want to add a sensor that was not included with the original Touchstone package, make sure your service provider supports it.

Note:  If you are attempting to pair a sensor that has been previously deleted from the Hub, it will be necessary to default the sensor.

To add a sensor, click SETTINGS on the toolbar to display the Settings page.  The number in the upper right hand corner of each icon indicates how many instances of that type of device have been installed already.

Resetting

The MCT-340 Door/Window sensors are used for monitoring entry and exit areas of your home, as well as perimeter areas, the same way the full size contacts are.  The door/window sensor can be placed on any door or window.  Be sure to place the smaller magnet on the part of the surface that will have the least amount of motion(i.e.  place the magnet on the door, and the larger part of the sensor on the door frame).

 

To default the MCT-340 door/window sensor, remove the cover using a quarter or small coin.
