00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:05.416
Entry Sensors defend your doors
and windows from intruders

00:00:05.666 --> 00:00:09.208
and allows you to keep watch over
cabinets, safes and more.

00:00:09.583 --> 00:00:12.416
When your system is armed
and a door or window is opened,

00:00:12.416 --> 00:00:14.875
the Base Station will trigger an alarm.

00:00:14.875 --> 00:00:18.666
Entry Sensors are made of two parts:
the sensor and a magnet.

00:00:19.208 --> 00:00:22.250
When these two pieces are lined up
within two inches of each other,

00:00:22.625 --> 00:00:25.625
the system knows that your door
or window is closed.

00:00:25.625 --> 00:00:28.041
When they're moved
more than two inches apart,

00:00:28.041 --> 00:00:29.833
the system sees this as opened.

00:00:30.208 --> 00:00:31.250
Before getting started,

00:00:31.375 --> 00:00:34.500
you'll need to have your Gen 3
Base Station already installed.

00:00:34.916 --> 00:00:37.500
You'll also need your own
Phillips head screwdriver

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.500
if you plan on wall-mounting the sensor
to permanently affix it,

00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:43.583
instead of using the included
adhesive backing.

00:00:43.583 --> 00:00:46.583
First, we'll add the Entry Sensor
to your system.

00:00:46.958 --> 00:00:50.250
To do this, open the SimpliSafe
app on your phone or tablet.

00:00:50.916 --> 00:00:54.625
Navigate to the three-bar menu
on the upper left corner of the screen,

00:00:54.625 --> 00:00:56.666
and select Add Device or Camera.

00:00:57.666 --> 00:00:58.916
On the next screen,

00:00:58.916 --> 00:01:02.000
select Entry Sensor
from the list of available devices.

00:01:03.083 --> 00:01:06.916
Then, follow the onscreen instructions
to add the sensor to your system.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.500
Next, let's consider the placement
of your Entry Sensor.

00:01:10.708 --> 00:01:13.875
You'll want to find a door or window
to place your Entry Sensor on.

00:01:14.375 --> 00:01:15.916
When finding a location,

00:01:15.916 --> 00:01:19.083
you'll want to make sure that the blue
lights on both pieces are aligned

00:01:19.083 --> 00:01:20.250
and facing each other.

00:01:20.541 --> 00:01:23.916
The sensor and magnet can go on either
side of the door or window,

00:01:24.041 --> 00:01:27.041
as long as they're within two inches
of each other when closed.

00:01:27.541 --> 00:01:30.083
Once you find a location for your Entry Sensor,

00:01:30.083 --> 00:01:31.500
you'll want to test its placement.

00:01:32.125 --> 00:01:34.250
Hold both pieces where you'd like to put them,

00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:36.541
and then pull the magnet
away from the sensor.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.708
Make sure that their LED lights blink
twice when you place them back together.

00:01:41.166 --> 00:01:43.625
Now you're ready
to mount your Entry Sensor.

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:46.791
If you're wall-mounting the sensor
using its adhesives,

00:01:46.791 --> 00:01:49.500
clean the surface with an
alcohol-based cleaning solution

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:51.000
and allow time for it to dry.

00:01:51.458 --> 00:01:55.125
Once the surface is dry,
remove the backing of the adhesive strips

00:01:55.125 --> 00:01:58.250
and press and hold the sensor
to the surface for 30 seconds.

00:01:58.666 --> 00:02:02.833
If you want to secure your Entry Sensor
to the surface using the included screws,

00:02:02.958 --> 00:02:05.625
first remove the adhesive
from the mounting bracket.

00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:09.541
Using light force, remove the
mounting plate from the sensor.

00:02:09.833 --> 00:02:11.541
With a Phillips head screwdriver,

00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:13.333
Mount the plate to the surface.

00:02:13.541 --> 00:02:17.458
If necessary, You can also drill a
pilot hole into the surface first

00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:20.375
using a 3/64th inch drill bit.

00:02:20.375 --> 00:02:23.375
Then, slide the sensor up
and over the mounting plate.

00:02:23.583 --> 00:02:24.458
That's it.

00:02:24.458 --> 00:02:27.458
Your Entry Sensor is now installed
and ready for use.

00:02:27.833 --> 00:02:31.125
