Installing ADT sensors on windows primarily involves securely attaching the sensor and its corresponding piece to the window frame, ensuring they align correctly for proper operation.
Steps to Install ADT Window Sensors
Here's how to install ADT sensors on your windows, based on the provided reference:
-
Prepare the Sensor:
- Take the ADT sensor and its corresponding piece.
-
Remove Protective Paper:
- Peel off the protective paper from the adhesive on the back of both the sensor and its piece.
-
Attach to Window/Frame:
- Press the sensor firmly onto the window or door frame.
- Ensure you attach the sensor where the old one was previously (if replacing an existing sensor) to maintain proper alignment.
-
Ensure Proper Alignment:
- Make sure the sensor and its corresponding piece are aligned correctly to ensure proper operation. The reference video emphasizes the importance of alignment.
Important Considerations
- Placement: The sensor should be placed on the window frame, and its corresponding piece should be placed on the window itself (or vice versa), such that they are next to each other when the window is closed.
- Firm Press: Applying firm pressure ensures the adhesive properly bonds the sensor to the surface.
- Professional Installation: If you're uncomfortable with DIY installation, consider having a professional ADT technician install your sensors.
By following these steps, you can successfully install ADT sensors on your windows, ensuring your home security system functions correctly.
