When it comes to the Contact Sensors for the Boundary system, you may wonder how close they need to be in order to function.
The system is being designed to be compliant with British and European standards so the gap between the sensor contacts should be no more than 25mm or 1 inch. Any further apart and the sensor may not function as intended or easily create a false alarm.
It is possible to mount the two parts on different shapes of frames, windows, and doors because the magnet can be mounted at an angle.
Tips
- Mount the two parts no more than 25mm or 1 inch apart
- We suggest mounting both parts vertically with the gray part on top
- You can mount either part of the contact sensor to the frame, window or door - just make sure they are both the right way up and aligned
Examples
| Potential issue | Option 1 | Option 2 |

The gap may be too large |
Swap the parts to make the gap smaller |
Mount the magnet at an angle to make the gap smaller |
