1. Overview
The Essence Indoor Magnetic Sensor (MGLS) is a battery-operated, wireless, magnetic, bi-directional
sensor. The MGLS is designed for usage on doors and windows. The purpose of the MGLS is to detect
when a door or window is opened or closed.
The MGLS is comprised of the following parts:
Smart magnetic sensor
Permanent magnet

NOTE: The images of batteries included in this user guide are for illustration
purposes only.
Only batteries thoroughly tested and approved by Essence should be used to
meet the device’s specifications. Refer to 5 Specifications on page 13.

2. Installing the MGLS
The following are the steps and processes to install the MGLS.
2.1. Required Items
Ensure you have the following:
Flat screwdriver to open the smart magnetic sensor
Double-sided adhesive mounting-tape - provided
One 3 V CR123A lithium battery
NOTE: To comply with the UL certification standards, use GP International
Limited batteries.
2.2. Determining the Best Location
Consider the following when selecting a mounting position for the MGLS:
A flat window or door surface
A surface that is clean, dry, and smooth
Within 700 m (2296 ft.) of the Control Panel (CP) (open air nominal)
Avoid installation on the top of a door or door frame due to the dust accumulation in that
area.
Attach the smart magnetic sensor to the fixed frame of the window or door.
Attach the permanent magnet to the door.
Mount the MGLS as high as possible, yet still accessible for occasional maintenance.

2.3. Setting Up the MGLS
To set up the MGLS:
1. Insert the flat screwdriver in the cover release tab opening, and press the tab to release the back
cover.
Figure 2: Release Back Cover
2. If the MGLS is not from the Care@Home™kit, you must add the MGLS to the Care@Home™system
by “pairing” the MGLS device with the CP.
Press the Pairing button, located on the right edge of the front of the CP, for five (5) seconds. The
CP beeps and the ring, around the EMERGENCY button, lights up in blue with a circular movement
effect.
3. Insert the battery, according to the battery diagram. Use a 3 V CR123A Lithium battery.

WARNING! A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Discard used
batteries responsibly.
When the battery is installed, the red LED lights up, indicating that the device has powered up
successfully.
Figure 4: LED Indicator
4. Holding the MGLS, move at least 2 m (~6 ft. 7 in.) away from the CP.
5. Ensure that the pairing process is successful. The process can have the following results:
If the pairing process is successful, the CP beeps and the ring, around the CP EMERGENCY
button, blinks blue three times.
If the pairing process is not successful, the CP beeps and the ring lights up red for two
seconds.
If the peripheral device is already paired, the CP beeps and the ring lights up alternating
between blue and red.
If no additional peripheral devices can be integrated, as when the CP memory is full, the CP
beeps and the ring lights up red.
The CP returns to its previous operation mode automatically following the pairing process.
6. If the MGLS is from the Care@Home™kit and pre-configured with the CP, you must establish a
communication channel between the MGLS and the CP via the following “Handshake” process.
To initiate the handshake process:
a. Holding the MGLS, move at least 2 m (~6 ft. 7 in.) away from the CP.

b. Press the tamper switch at least three times.
Figure 5: MGLS Tamper Switch
The communication LED on the CP blinks green to confirm that the communication channel
between the MGLS and the CP is established. The handshake process is complete.

7. Attach the smart magnet sensor onto the mounting-base.

You can install the two MGLSs included in the kit as follows:
On the main entrance door: The MGLS should be installed on the door from the inside of the
premises out of reach of normal activity such that
On the refrigerator door(s): For standard refrigerators, the MGLS should be installed out of
reach of normal activity such that:
For side-by-side refrigerators, install the smart magnetic sensor on one main door and the
permanent magnet on the other main door.
9. Clean the surfaces of the mounting locations thoroughly. Make sure the locations are dry.
NOTE: Refer to Using Screws in Appendix A,on page 16, for information about
installing the MGLS using screws.
10. Install the smart magnet sensor using mounting-tape:
a. Peel off the protective strip from the mounting-tape of the smart magnet sensor.
b. Press the smart magnet sensor into place.
c. Position the smart magnetic sensor and the permanent magnet at the same level, so that the
alignment marks on the sides are in alignment, as illustrated in the following figure.
The distance between the two parts of the device may vary from installation to installation,
depending on the surface. For example, the molding on a door or window frame or the
distance between the surfaces of a refrigerator door(s), due to rubber insulation, can require
the smart magnetic sensor to be closer to the permanent magnet than the sensor would be in
other installations.
The two units of the MGLS must be placed, at most, 3 cm (1.2 in.) from each other.

d. To align the permanent magnet with smart magnetic sensor, perform the following process:
Line up the permanent magnet next to the smart magnetic sensor so that the indicator
marks are aligned.
Move the permanent magnet back and forth until the threshold point of the Green LED is
found.
Move the permanent magnet toward the smart magnetic sensor for approximately 0.5 cm
(0.2 in.).
11. Mount the permanent magnet:
a. Peel off the protective strip from the mounting-tape of the permanent magnet
b. Press the permanent magnet into place.
2.4. Testing the MGLS
When the battery is installed, perform the following steps to test the MGLS for trigger actions.
1. Open the door where the MGLS is installed.
The MGLS LED should light up red to indicate a break in the contact between the two parts of the
MGLS.
2. Close the door where the MGLS is installed.
The MGLS LED should light up green to indicate that the contact between the two parts has been
restored.
3. Verify that the MGLS LED indicates the triggered responses.
4. Verify that the notifications are sent to the CP.

3. Operating the MGLS
The purpose of the MGLS is to monitor:
Exits from the premises
Entry to the premises
Removal of food from the refrigerator
Intrusions via the opening and closure of Windows
The smart magnetic sensor is responsible for detection and wireless communication with the CP.
The single, bi-color LED on the front of the device lights up when there is an open or close event. You
can configure an MGLS device parameter to disable the LED, if the LED indication is not required.
The MGLS devices in the Care@Home™kit are intended for:
The main entrance door: to monitor access to the premises
The refrigerator door: to monitor the Resident’s dining routine
When the MGLS is operational and a break in the contact with the magnet is detected, the smart
magnetic sensor sends an event to the CP and the CP notifies the monitoring station. For example, the
MGLS sends an alert event to the CP, if a window or door is left open for an extended amount of time.
The CP, in turn, forwards the alert event to the monitoring Station.
You can configure the MGLS device parameters using the Care@Home™CMS software application.
Refer to the Care@Home™CMS User Guide for the version of Care@Home™system installed on your
resident’s premises.
3.1. Indications
The MGLS includes a bi-color (green and red) LED. The LED indicates a change in the status of the
device. The default state of the LED is Enabled. You can use the Care@Home™CMS software
application to disable the LED.
