Suggested Installation of Alarm Screens for Single Hung Windows
step 1 step 2
1) With the window closed and the screen removed, drill a 9/64" hole from the top inside corner (right or left) of the outside screen channel to the rear corner of the inside window track. Drill from the outside to the inside on an upward, inwards angle as shown above. 2) Feed the end of the 6' Pin lead through the hole until just enough wire remains to lie taut above the screen in the outside channel when the screen is in place. See dotted like in figure 3.
step 3 step 4
3) Glue the remainder of the alarm screen lead wire up the rear corner of the inside window track to the top of the window. Make sure the wire does not interfere with the window movement. 4) With the alarm screen in place, open the window and mark the location of the reed switch on the window base. Note: Always install the alarm screen with the rubber spline inward.
step 5 step 6
5) Remove the alarm screen and drill two 3/8" holes in the window base; one on each side of the location of the reed switch. From center to center, the holes should be 1¼" apart. Note: A surface mounted magnet can be used if there is adequate space between the screen and the window. 6) Install the provided magnets in the holes with the opposite (attracting) poles up. Caulk over magnet housings to prevent leaking. Place the alarm screen back in position and check its operation.
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.
