PROTECTING SLIDING ALUMINUM WINDOWS—
APPLICATION 1
INSTALLATION
This page and the following two pages provide installation instructions for
protecting sliding aluminum windows with recessed or surface mount switches,
or a combination of both.
Installation with Removal of Window
Remove window from frame as follows (Figure 1):
a. Open window as far as required (some windows have spring locks in upper
frame channel past which the window must be opened before it can be
removed).
b. Lift window straight up into upper channel.
c. Pull window straight out from bottom.
RECOMMENDED
PRODUCTS
Locate desired mounting position for switch — either parallel to magnet or
perpendicular (Figure 2).
Drill hole in window frame. Run wires. Insert switch into frame.
Mount magnet on inside of upper window channel, toward top of channel, with
RTV mounting compound. RTV should sufficiently set in about 15 minutes to
permit replacement of window into frame.
Reinsert window in frame by reversing procedure in Step 1.
Check continuity with window in closed position.
Notes: Wide gap switches are polarity sensitive. Red tip of magnet must be
aligned as shown.
Magnet must not be centered under switch — a null may result, and switch will
not operate.
