Once you had removed all the wires from the old sensor, now you’ll move to the next step which is connecting the new sensor. Moving or keeping all the wires intact in one place away from your children is also necessary, however, to connect the new sensor, follow the steps given below.

Once you are done with your screwdriver, use the same to remove all the wires. Now connect all the existing wires to your new sensor door one by one. Use a new set of wires. Make sure that the wires are strong and safe and won’t handily come open.

Connect each wire with patience. You can take a glimpse of the manual for the same. The manual will give you elaborative steps about which wire to connect where. Do not lose the wire, keep them already in hand.

Once you have connected all the wires to the sensor, now you will have to mount the new sensor, it is a crucial step so one must keep many precautions while performing it.

Open the new set of sensors with care, do not miss out on any parts. Make sure that all the parts are available in the box. Now connect your sensor to your home frame, either by using magnets or fixing it by using a screwdriver.

While using the old sensor magnet, see whether the new sensor is appropriately aligned. However, if you are not using the old magnets then you don’t have to change or check then whether the new sensor is appropriately aligned. Attach the sensor to the moving part of your door.

For surface-mounted sensors, attach the sensor with either screws or double-sided foam tape. In case you break the surface of the sensor, then you can attach the sensors by making a hole that is drilled into the door frame. The size of the hole will depend upon the surface of your sensor, if there is a larger surface then make a large hole if not, then a small hole would suffice.

Make sure that the new sensor and magnet are connected and very close. There should not be a spacing gap larger than 0.5 inches.

After setting up your sensor, now the last step is to test the new sensor. While testing the sensor, make sure your sensor is in testing mode. To check whether it works fine, keep moving your door and close it then open it more than five times. If the fault happens when the door is unlocked and empties then the door is closed, then the sensor was installed appropriately and the zone was programmed correctly.
