Triggerlinc Installation on Slider Windows

[PhanTomiZ]

Hi,

 

I thought I would let you know how I installed my Triggerlinc Open/Close sensor on my slider windows.  Looking at the window, I couldn't find a location on the window where I would only need one Triggerlinc.  I could do it with two, but that would be wasteful.

 

Every combination that I could think of didn't work because the magnet portion of the sensor was too thick and the distance between the two sections of windows was too thin.  

 

The fix was to open the magnet section of the sensor package and remove the cylindrical magnet.  I then used Gorilla brand two sided tape (stickiest two sided tape I've ever use) and installed it to the frame of the outside window (just fit);  the Triggerlinc "transceiver" part of the package was easily stuck to the inside window frame.

 

If there are other ways of achieving this on double slider windows, I'd like to know.  If you have another method, I'd also be interested.

P.S.  Not sure why the pictures are all rotated 90°.  Hopefully you get the idea...

Thank you for sharing your solution.

The module does have a external sensor terminal block but would have been hard to wire and probably more messy.
