Mounting the PG9307

Sensor Installation

  1. Choose the installation location. This can be on the top of the door, or on the side of the door. Either in the frame or the door, depending on the material in use.
    Install the sensor by the following steps:
  2. Use a 3/4 drill bit to slowly drill a 3/4 inch hole for
    the door/window contact in the door frame.
  3. Fasten the contact housing to the mounting surface
    with the two screws and insert the cover. If there
    is no 3mm gap available between the door and the
    frame, two step drilling is necessary. Using a
    22mm tool, drill a 2mm shallow, followed by a
    70mm deep hole with a 19mm tool. Break the slot
    ears, clean the sharp edges and insert the device.
    The device is recessed inside the frame, not interfering with the door.

Magnet Installation
Install the magnet by either of the following options:

  1. By drilling:
    a. Use a 3/4 inch drill bit to create a 15mm deep hole.
    b. Peel off the double-sided tape on the magnet and stick it inside the magnet cover (part D).

  2. By using the double-sided tape without the magnet housing:
    a. Peel off the double-sided tape on the magnet and stick it on the door/window

NOTE: Option 2 is possible only when there is a minimum gap of 2 mm between the door and the door frame.

Optional: Use a sticker on both the contact cover and the magnet cover to match the color of the door or the door frame
