The Napco Prima PRWD is a wireless encrypted recessed door/window contact that is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Napco Prima security system. The PRWD contact is engineered to provide reliable monitoring of entry points, such as doors and windows, by detecting unauthorized openings. Its recessed design allows it to be installed discreetly within the frame of a door or window, making it virtually invisible and maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your home or business.
One of the standout features of the PRWD contact is its use of advanced encryption technology. This ensures that the signals transmitted between the contact and the Napco Prima security system are secure and resistant to interception or tampering. This level of security is crucial in preventing potential intruders from bypassing the system, thereby enhancing the overall safety of the premises.
The PRWD contact is also designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Its wireless nature eliminates the need for complex wiring, making it a convenient choice for both new installations and retrofitting existing systems. Additionally, the device is powered by long-lasting batteries, reducing the frequency of replacements and ensuring continuous operation. With its combination of security, discretion, and ease of use, the Napco Prima PRWD Wireless Encrypted Recessed Door/Window Contact is an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their security system with a reliable and unobtrusive solution.
Before beginning, it is important to select a suitable position for your Recessed Door Sensor. For optimal performance, you sensor should be:
Either installed at the top of a door or the side of a door.
Positioned away from metal that could interfere with its magnetic functionality or wireless functions. This includes your door's plate, handle or lock mechanism.
Installed in a suitable location to ensure a clear (between 1mm and 5mm) separation when the door is closed.
Positioned exactly above or beside the position in which Magnetic Sensor will be inlaid.
With main sensor powered and activated, it is now time to inlay it within your selected door frame.
Step 1 - Drill for Sensors main body.
Prepare the space for Main Sensor by drilling a hole into your doorframe using a 19mm/0.75 inch wide drill bit (you can use a slightly larger drill bit if needed). The hole should be 2.75" inches (70mm) deep.
Step 2 - Drill for magnet piece.
Drill a corresponding hole in your door. The hole should be 15mm deep. As stated, the position of this hole should align exactly with the hole you just created in the doorframe. Again, use a 19mm wide drill bit.
With your door and door frame prepared and the drill holes created, it's now time to mount both parts of your Recessed Door Sensor.
Step 3
Place a small amount of white glue (PVA) inside the hole you created for Magnetic Sensor. Then, place the sensor over and into the hole. Next, insert it by tapping gently on it with a rubber hammer.
Step 4
The gap between the two parts of your sensor must be no less than 1mm and no more than 5mm. If your gap is different, re-affix Main Sensor by altering its hole.
