Abstract
Disclosures relate to a sensor system and arrangements having different sized removable spacers. The spacers may be mixed and matched as needed or desired to compensate for misalignment conditions. Further, different spacer combinations and adjustments may be guided by a security management computing device. Variations in configurations of mounting surfaces, such as door and window assemblies, may be accommodated. Alignment of a transmitter or a receiving device, e.g., a magnetic device, with respect to a transmitter or receiving device despite misalignment of the components due to, for example, uneven surfaces of a door or a window, or a respective frame may be achieved.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- modifying a security component by adjusting a distance between:
- a magnet of the security component;
- and
- a mounting surface of the security component;
- installing the security component on a first exterior surface of a premises entrance, wherein the mounting surface faces the first exterior surface;
- and
- installing, on a second exterior surface proximate to the first exterior surface, a security sensor that is configured to detect the security component.
A security component comprising:
- a housing;
- a magnet within the housing;
- and
- one or more spacers, attached to an exterior surface of the housing, to adjust positioning of the magnet relative to a mounting surface.
A security component comprising:
- a magnet;
- and
- a housing comprising a plurality of magnet positions configured to accept the magnet for adjusting positioning of the magnet in a direction away from an exterior mounting surface of the security component.
