Ever tried the recessed sensors?
Ever tried the recessed sensors?
Actually, I have acquired a hatred for the recessed contacts. Though not as much as my hatred for other products (ademco panels for one)
Perhaps it was the low quality drill bits I was using when they first came out. Ever use a spade bit that large (3/4"?) and try to get a good, even, level hole drilled?
Perhaps it's the fact that the end cap doesn't want to stay on securely.
Or perhaps it's the fact that you'll never get the contact out in the future to replace it. You may not even be able to get the board out of the casing to replace the battery. I suppose the best solution here would be to use the optional end cap that gets screwed onto the door frame and drill a little too large intentionally.
Although the last one I installed had to go into the door with the magnet in the frame. It was very easy on that one, but probably not the best option for the longevity of the contact. Ironically, this was a place where we were trying to keep people from breaking out, and all the surface contacts were either destroyed or thrown out the window into a forest. The only one the has survived is that recessed contact.

Try the spade bit, and if it starts to wander, stop. Finish with a hole saw to keep the hole true. Try the transmitter case, if you have to force it, stop. Use the spade bit again to ream the hole a little at a time til your case fits perfectly. Use a little ALEX caulk or silicone to hold in place if necessary.
Yes but not long term
WTF, you're answering your own questions now? Did that big, fat, fist shake your concentration?
The recessed sensor question wasn't mine
Really? It sure looks like you asked "Ever tried the recessed sensors?"....
Hmmmm....
Hard to refute this:

Tell it to G Morgan, apparently he's the one asking :)
Then how do you explain this, moron?
Message-ID:
What is "this"?
The message ID of the post you made that read "Ever tried the recessed sensors?"....
Now you're denying you wrote it. Here is irrefutable proof you wrote it: ( I see you cancelled it with Google)
I never canceled any post, and I didn't write that
You forgot the 3rd option: You could be an idiot
I thought he was being polite by leaving that option out.

Oh look Jim's right behind Robert, that might make Frank mad

they went from hating each other to a cluster f*ck. change you can believe in?

I suspect Frank, like Jim, appreciated the humor (or, in his case, the humour). You did leave yourself wide open for the retort.
What? Are you doing the 'Mark-Like-A-Nova' now because I shut you down and called you a liar?
