Surface Mount Contacts<br />

Using surface mount contacts, the switch and magnet are both concealed when the<br />

window is closed. Use off-white, white or mahogany brown units to match plastic<br />

cover on the window.<br />

Important: Anderson recommends against mounting switches in sills due to<br />

possible damage from water. If you must drill into the sill, make sure you provide a<br />

solid, tight seal using RTV compound.<br />

Select position of switch and magnet. Ventilation may be achieved with the use of<br />

a wide gap switch placed on the top of the window near the hinged side.<br />

Drill hole for wires. Slant back 15˚ to 30˚ to make sure wires go inside wall. Drill at<br />

back of window frame as shown.<br />

Clean surfaces with alcohol to remove dirt, grease and moisture.<br />

Peel paper from back of switch and install as shown, or screw in place (depending<br />

on switch used).<br />

Peel paper from back of magnet. Install on sash frame with Sentrol name reading<br />
