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  
Open  
Closed  
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  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl

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 ꢀ - 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 ꢁ - 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.

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.

1ꢀ  
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.
