Frequently Asked Questions - FMK 100b KATHREIN

How do I pair the FMK 100b with my alarm panel?

Open the web interface of your alarm panel, go to Sensors > Add and press Start. Then press the Learn button on the sensor. A red LED will light up. The panel confirms with a tone and displays the sensor. Click Add to finalize.

What battery does the FMK 100b use and how long does it last?

The sensor uses a 3V CR123 lithium battery. Average battery life is 2.6 years with 20 uses per day. After the low battery warning, the battery lasts about one more month.

How do I perform a range test?

In the alarm panel menu, go to Sensors > Range and press Start. Press the Learn button on the sensor. Signal strength (1-9) is displayed. If below 4 or fluctuating, use a repeater.

Can I install the FMK 100b on metal doors?

Yes, but you must insulate the sensor and magnet from the metal surface using a rubber pad. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

How do I clean the window/door contact?

Use a damp cloth to clean the surface, then dry it. Do not use cleaning agents, as they may damage the housing.

What does the red LED mean?

The LED flashes in three cases: if the tamper contact is opened (e.g., sensor removed), if the battery is low and the sensor is opened, or during a range test (for 3 minutes after pressing the Learn button).

How do I open the sensor housing?

Slide a narrow slotted screwdriver into the notch (8) and tilt the top part upwards. To close, hook the mounting hook (6) and press the top down until it clicks.

What is the maximum distance between sensor and magnet?

The magnet must be placed within 20-30 mm of the sensor marking (2) for proper detection. Exceeding this may result in false alarms.

How do I dispose of the FMK 100b?

Do not dispose with household waste. Follow local regulations for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Remove the battery and dispose separately.

What should I do if the sensor is not detected?

Check the battery is installed correctly and the insulation tab removed. Ensure the sensor is within range of the panel. Press the Learn button again. If still not detected, contact KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH or your retailer.

Product description:

The KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH window/ door contact is an integral part of your alarm system and is used to secure your windows and doors. The contact consists of two parts (sensor + magnet). One is fixed at your window or door frame, the other one is fixed at the wing of the door or window sash. Thus, the window/door contact immediately registers if a window or door is opened or closed. The window/door contact is available in three colors: white, brown, and anthracite.

LED:

In normal circumstances, the LED of the window/door contact will be off. It only flashes in the following cases:

• If the window/door contact is removed or turned in a different position (in this case, the tamper contact is opened)
• If the battery is low and the sensor is opened
• During the range test for three minutes after you pressing the Learn button

Battery:

The window/door contact requires a 3V CR123 lithium battery. The average battery life is 2.6 years (if used 20 times a day). After the sensor has transmitted the low battery warning, the battery will last for about one more month.

Connecting the window/door contact and putting it into operation

1. Remove the battery insulation tab at the back of the unit before the first use.
2. Open the web interface of the alarm panel, go to the menu "Sensors" → "Add" and press "Start".
3. Press the Learn button of the window/door contact. A red LED lights up.
4. The alarm panel will confirm the successful addition with a brief signal tone and display the sensor in the lower menu.
5. Click "Add" to add the sensor to the sensor list.

Range test:

To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.

1. Open the alarm panel menu "Sensors" → "Range" and press "Start".
2. Press the Learn button of the window/door contact.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated number the better the reception (1–9).
4. Click "Stop" to end the test.

Please note:

If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.

Installation:

• We recommend screwing the supplied screws through the marked holes for mounting the sensor (7) and the magnet (11).

• Alternatively, you can use the supplied self-adhesive pads for mounting the sensor/magnet. Since the adhesive strength of the pads may decrease after some time, there is a risk that the sensor/magnet will then detach from the surface.

• Before using the adhesive pads, clean the surface with a degreaser.

• Remove the protective film from one side of the double-sided adhesive pad and press the adhesive pad firmly against the sensor for approx. 1 minute. Then remove the protective film from the other side and press the sensor firmly onto the surface.

• The sensor consists a top and a bottom part. To open the sensor, slide a narrow slotted screwdriver into the notch (8) and tilt the top of the sensor upwards.

• To close the sensor, hook in the mounting hook (6) and tilt the top part downwards. Click it into the recesses of the bottom part and make sure that the two sensor parts are firmly seated on top of each other.
• When closing the sensor, the tamper contact (4) must protrude through the opening (9) and rest against the wall. If the housing is opened after installation or the window/door sensor is torn off, a signal will be transmitted to the alarm panel.
• As with the sensor housing, the top part of the magnet can be detached from the bottom part for screwing the magnet on. To open the magnet, slide a narrow slotted screwdriver into the notch between the top and the bottom part of the magnet.
• To reassemble both parts of the magnet, click the top part into the recesses (12) of the bottom part.

Sketch:

Pure technical line drawing of a cabinet or enclosure structure without any text, numbers, or symbols

- This sketch only serves as an example. The window/door sensor can also be installed at other positions.

- We recommend installing the magnet on the door or window side and the sensor on the frame.

- Pay attention to the marking (2) when installing the sensor. The magnet (13) must be installed close to this marking (maximum distance 20–30 mm) to close the sensor circuit. The status (open or closed) can be monitored in the sensor list of the web interface of the alarm centre.

Note:

- The window/door sensor can also be installed on double casement windows. The distance between sensor and magnet must not exceed 20-30 mm.

- If the sensor is installed at the bottom of a window, it is possible to tilt the window without triggering an alarm (maximum distance between sensor and magnet 20–30 mm). We do not recommend this type of installation, as tilted windows represent a security risk.

- If the window/door contact is installed on metal/steel doors, it should be insulated from the mounting surface by means of a rubber pad. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

- Do not bypass the jumper (3) in the housing to keep the supervisor test/battery test of the sensor activated.
