Directions for the Intermatic SP130B Magnetic Wireless Alarm

Installing a home security system is an important step to creating a safer and more secure home. Home alarm systems are a deterrent to burglars and help to protect your family and property. The Intermatic SP1308 is a magnetic trip wireless alarm that is placed in the door. This alarm uses small magnetic sensors to create a magnetic field around the door. If the magnetic field is broken, the sensor sends a signal to the control panel and the alarm is activated. The Intermatic magnetic wireless alarm is simple to use and can be set up in a matter of minutes.
