  • If mounting outside, ensure the grey silicon grommets covering the screw holes are inserted.

The ERA-UTX may also be used as a magnetic door/window contact that triggers when the smaller magnet separates from the larger piece.

  • Choose mounting locations where the magnetic contact (the smaller piece) is 1/2 inch or less from the push button (the large piece).
