Introduction
The Garage Door Sensor is designed to be used
specifically with vertical opening garage or shed doors.
When mounted properly it monitors when the door is
open or closed. If the door is opened, the Garage Door
Sensor will transmit a signal to the Control Center. The
settings on the Control Center determine if an alarm,
alert or chime sounds.

Preparing the Garage Door Sensor for Installation
The Garage Door Sensor is a self-contained Sensor.
Before installing open the battery door and, remove
the yellow battery isolation tape from the Garage
Door Sensor. This activates the Lithium battery inside
the Garage Door Sensor. The approximate battery life
is up to two years. When replacing the battery it is
recommended to replace all Sensor batteries at the
same time in order ensure proper operation of the
entire system.
Note: When using doublesided tape apply to clean dry
surface.
The Garage Door Sensor is intended to be positioned
on the interior side of the garage door at the bottom.
The Garage Door Sensor must be mounted vertically
so the detection cylinder is able to move freely up and

down. Select a position on the garage door frame
near bottom edge. To not damage the Garage Door
Sensor when the door closes, position the Garage
Door Sensor with the detection rod retracted and the
bottom edge of the Garage Door Sensor even with the
door edge. In most applications you can use double
sided tape (included). It is strongly suggested to mount
Garage Door Sensor lightly to ensure operation. Once
you are confident with the mounting position apply
pressure to secure to surface. For a more secure
installation you can use the included screws.

Once the Garage Door Sensor is mounted, you’ll need
to assign the Garage Door Sensor to a Zone on the
Control Center.
Assigning the Sensor to a Zone
Assigning the Sensor into a Zone is an easy four step
process, however there are a few points to remember
- Only one Sensor can be assigned at a time.
- A Sensor cannot be assigned to two different Zones.
- Up to four Sensors can be added per Zone (if a fifth Sensor is added then the first Sensor will be replaced.)
- Batteries must be active in the Sensor before it can be assigned to a Zone.
- Sensors can be assigned to a Zone and then mounted,
or can be mounted and then assign to a Zone.
Follow these steps to assign a Sensor to a Zone.
Step 1 – Press and hold the Learn button on the Control Center for three seconds. When the
Control Center sounds a long beep, release the Learn button.
Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the Zone you want to assign to the Garage Door Sensor. The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to flash.
Step 3 – Release the Zone button.
Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone
will not trigger an alarm or chime.
Step 4 – Activate the Garage Door Sensor
- To activate The Garage Door Sensor, lower
the detection rod to its full extension; if mounted, raise
the garage door.

Erasing the Sensor from a Zone
Note: If you need to remove the Sensor from a Zone, the
system will erase the entire Zone, so any other Sensors will
need to be put back into that particular Zone.
Step 1 - To erase a Zone, press and hold the
Learn button on the Control Center. The unit will beep once.
Step 2 - While holding the Learn button, press and
hold the Zone button to be erased. After five seconds the Control Center will sound two beeps and the Zone LED indicator will flash twice.
Step 3 - Release all buttons. The Zone has
been erased.
Note: The Zone/Garage Door Sensor cannot be erased if:
- The Zone has been triggered for an Alert or alarm. The Sensor/Zone must be reset.
- There is loss of signal from the Sensor to the Control Center (such as low battery, or Sensor is out of range).
- The system is armed.
The Control Center will sound three beeps to indicate it could
not erase the Zone.
Testing a Sensor or your system
Once all the Sensors have been assigned to Zones
in the Control Center you can now test your system.
Ensure the Control Center can receive the signal
from the intended location of the Sensor before
permanently mounting a Sensor.
Step 1 - To place Control Center in Test mode unplug AC adapter and remove batteries.
Step 2 - Press and hold the ‘Mute’ button and plug the AC adapter back into the Control Center. When all the LED indicators turn on, release the Mute button. The Control Center is now in Test Mode and any Sensor can now be tested in any Zone.
Step 3 - Set the Notification Mode to switch ‘Alert’ position and begin activating Sensors one at a time.
Note: The sensor has a LED that flashes to show when the
sensor has triggered and transmitted to the main unit.
Step 4 - When testing is complete, unplug the AC
adapter, then plug the AC adapter back in and reinstall batteries. This returns the Control Center
to standard operation mode.
Note: The Control Center will automatically return to standard
operation mode after 5 hours.
Low Battery Indicator
The Control Center continuously monitors all the
Sensors. If the Control Center does not receive a signal
from any Sensor it will begin rapidly flashing the Zone
LED indicator . This indicates one or more Sensors in
the Zone may have low battery power and are unable
to transmit a signal the necessary distance. If all
batteries and/or Sensors are installed at the same
time into a Zone, it is recommended to replace the
batteries in all Sensors in the Zone.
However, you can check the Garage Door Sensor
status independently by placing the Control Center
in Test mode (see Testing a Sensor on page 9) and
trigger the Sensor separately (i.e. open garage door). If
the Sensor does not trigger an alert then replace the
battery with a new one. Additionally, the red LED on
the Sensor will flash when the Sensor is triggered.
10
Note: The Sensor detection system is ‘range dependant’,
which means Sensors located closer to the Control Center
may seem to have batteries that last longer than those
Sensors at a greater distance. The Lithium cell battery in the
Garage Door Sensor can last up to two years.

Garage Door Sensor F.A.Q.’S
Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will not
recognize it. Why?
A. First, make sure that the yellow battery isolation tape
has been removed and that the battery is new. Second,
ensure the battery is inserted into the Sensor according
to polarity(+/-) markings. Third, confirm that the Sensor
has been correctly assigned to a Zone.
Q. I put the Sensor on Zone 4 and it will not set off the
alarm. Why?
A. Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed to
monitor Sensors in this Zone. It will only issue an alert
(LED will flash, continuous beeping will be heard). Sensors
in Zone 4 will not set off the alarm. Use Zone 4 for water
Sensors, garage doors, gates, sheds or other areas
that you want to monitor (i.e. areas that you want to be
alerted if there is a problem, but do not want the alarm
to sound).
Q. I erased a Sensor from a Zone and now all of my
other Sensors in that Zone will not work. Why?
A. The system can only erase entire Zones. You will need
to add the other Sensors back in that Zone to the
Control Center again.
12
Q. Why does one of my Zones continually flash?
A. This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions. First
condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the
Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in a
Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting the
unit into test mode (see pg. 9 of this manual). It may
also be that a Sensor is out of range and cannot make
contact with the Control Center. If this is the case, you
may need to move the Control Center closer or use a
Signal Repeater. The second condition, if it is a slow
flash, one of the Sensors is triggered. Check to ensure
the Sensors in the Zone are closed/reset (i.e. close door,
window, etc).
Q. If one Sensor has a low battery, should I replace all
of the batteries?
A. If Sensors were added at the same time, chances
are good all the batteries will need to be replaced.
Q. How do I know if any Sensors have low batteries?
A. The Control Center will indicate if any Sensor does
not have sufficient power to transmit a status signal
(battery is low). You can also check each Sensor
independently by using the Test Mode (see pg.9 in manual).
Q. If one Sensor has a low battery, will the other
Sensors in the Zone (or other Zones) continue to
operate?
A. Yes, as long as the other Sensors have sufficient
battery power, they will continue to transmit
information to the Control Center and the system will
operate normally.
