Mounting Guidelines
 
 
This device is intended for vertical surfaces (to be mounted at a 
sufficient height) where snow, ice and water buildup will not 
interfere with its operation. 
 
Mount the Magnet on the magnet sensing side of the Sensor as 
identified by the side ribs on the Sensor. 
 
Mount the Sensor on a stationary surface, and mount the 
Magnet on the moveable surface.  
 
When used on wooden sheds and barns, mount the sensor and 
magnet on the inside of the structure. 
 
Use the Magnet Spacer when mounting on metal surfaces; or 
if needed to achieve proper alignment with the Sensor. 
 
Use screws suitable for the material being fastened to.
