How do you install a Honeywell 5811 door and window sensor?




The first step is to test mount the 5811 by pairing it with the control panel and making sure you can stay within the maximum magnet/sensor range of 0.75 inches when the door/window is completely closed.  If not, consult your installation guide to make sure you are within the maximum range.  Once your mounting location is found, clean the surface.

Using double-sided tape, mount the transmitter onto the door/window frame.  Mount the magnet on the movable section of the window/door.  Feel free to test this before mounting by having someone help you hold the magnet and transmitter in their respective locations and opening/closing the access point.
