FAQs
Can I use this with a wireless alarm system?
No, this is a strictly wired device designed to connect directly to a wired alarm panel input.
What is the maximum distance between the sensor and magnet for the alarm to trigger?
The circuit closes and triggers the alarm when the distance between the two components increases by approximately 2cm.
Does this require batteries?
No, the device is powered by the connection to your wired alarm panel.
Is the cable length extendable?
Yes, you can extend the 2-core cable if necessary, provided you use proper wire connectors and ensure the connection is secure.
Can this be installed outdoors?
This device is intended for perimeter protection on indoor-facing window and door frames; it is not rated for direct outdoor weather exposure.
Troubleshooting
Alarm triggers intermittently when the door is closed
Check that the sensor and magnet are aligned correctly and that the gap between them does not exceed 13mm while the door is shut.
System fails to report an open door
Verify the wiring connection at the alarm panel and check that the cable has not been severed or pinched during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the MK2000W, ensure that the magnetic contact and the magnet are mounted parallel or at right angles, maintaining a maximum starting distance of 13mm. The unit is white, allowing it to blend into standard uPVC or wooden window frames.
Installation Steps:
- Identify the mounting point (middle of frame for doors, bottom of frame for tilt-monitoring).
- Secure the sensor and magnet using appropriate screws or adhesive suitable for your frame material.
- Run the included 5-meter cable to your alarm panel's input zone.
- Connect the 2-core wire to the appropriate terminals on your alarm panel.
Care: Regularly wipe the sensor and magnet with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Periodically test the alarm trigger by opening the door or window to ensure the 2cm separation threshold is still correctly calibrated.
