1)
With the window screen removed, drill a 9/64" hole from the top inside
corner of the outside screen channel to the inside of the window. Drill
from the outside to the inside on an upward, inward angle as shown
above.
2)
Feed the alarm screen lead wire through the hole until just enough wire
remains to lie taut in the outside channel when the screen is in place.
See dotted line.
3)
With the alarm screen in place, from inside of the house, open the
window and mark the location of the reed switch. Note: Always install
the alarm screen with the rubber spline facing inward.
4) Remove the alarm screen
and drill two 3/8" holes in the side screen channel; one on each side
of the location of the reed switch. From center to center, the holes
should be 1¼" apart. Install the provided magnets in the
holes with the opposite (attracting) poles out. Note: A surface mounted
magnet can be used if there is adequate space between the screen and
window.
Note:
If pre-wiring a new home, drill through the window frame from inside
and bring wires out into the top corner of the screen channel. The Pin
Lead connector can then be spliced together with the alarm circuit
wires when finishing the alarm system.
