Why does my device not alarm when the door opens?

The likely causes are that either:

– Your door contact is not activating when the door closes. In this case, your device will not arm if the contact wires are removed from the device.

– Electric power was applied across terminals 5 and 6. In this case, your device will still arm after the door contact wires are removed from the device.
