YaleB-HSA6010 Alarm Accessory Door/Window Contact, White, 15.2 x 8.8 x 3 cm

I purchased this after getting the main system once I had got used to where I finally wanted things.I relocated the main control unit to another part of the house so that I could see the zone triggered if activiated at night. This meant that I simply had to put this near the front door. Very simple in operation in that if armed, you press the green button then your PIN. You will hear the main control unit beep and then it is disarmed. Same goes for the yellow button "at home" and the red "away from home" button.There are not any sounds made by this unit but there is a small LED that indicates when you have pressed a button and when it is communicating with the main panel.About 4 inches in diameter, it is hinged at the bottom so like a clam-shell. You easily fix it to a wall with the two screws provided. When you pull the flap down it reaveals the control pad which again is really well finished. This unit can be removed and carried about like a remote and the main white case is a holder for the grey unit. Both being well made and shiny blend in with light switches or central heating manels. Hold the red button down for a few seconds and it'll trigger the alarm in "panic" mode.A great buy.

a good product, fair price, arrived before time very good service

I'll start by pointing out, I haven't used this yet, so can't comment on usability.The item is a little larger than I was expecting. Around the size to fill your palm, maybe 4 inches in diameter.The casing feels a little fragile, particularly the hinges at the bottom, which I suspect may break in time. The keypad itself feels pretty solid though. It comes complete with screws and plugs for fixing.It is aesthetically pleasing, and I would say will be good for anyone who's hoping to keep the main keypad hidden away, wanting something more discreet.In addition:Added this to my system today. Matches all I said above, still looks better than having the main panel on display! I can't disagree with the comment re: installation. I have a recently bough H6400, and the installation was easy, in fact, step by step instructions were in the book for the main system.Installation was straight forward enough, I'm in the process of renovating a new house, so I don't have to worry about mess etc, however, I can honestly say there was none anyway.I can't recommend this product highly enough. I have heard that people have experienced false activations, when they've used the self adhesive pads that come with the system, so I've went with the plugs and screws, just to be safe!

Had a full wireless Yale telephone alert alarm for many years with 11 of these contacts and 8 Pirs around the home.- they really do go the distance.Perhaps not matching the higher end finish/look of SSAIB wired systems on the PIRS, but seem no different to what the older ones did well,including time limited immobility alarming and panic button features and up to 3 telephone number alerting (only if required and then enabled)One of these window/door contacts failed recently on a window and the main unit reported low battery on screen.Normally they would just need the battery replaced.Our Wifi router has never given any issues to the alarm or vice versa, occasionally during a thunderstorm (and rarely) some contacts have stopped signaling for a minute or so.Pressing the button on them and seeing the led to illuminate soon makes them send a signal.This doesn't seem to cause false tamper alerts or siren triggers/false intruder/immobility/tamper/panic dial-outs.The system works on AM frequencies which I was originally thinking might be an interference nightmare, but the band seems good for low power devices and hardly anything else being in that spectrum is a plus.This wireless reed switch had lasted almost 4 years and uses a large flat lithium motherboard type cell, changing it for a new one made no difference so we ordered the full wireless contact replacement above.It was added to the system in 1 minute and came with handy templates,screws plugs or 3m backing adhesive cut out strips for non permanent areas, and of course pre fitted with a new lithium battery that is not on until you remove insulating plastic.Can be mounted horizontally or vertically and the magnet will activate reed from either left or right sides.Overall, a very easy on the bank balance maintenance budget, without wires,monthly contracts or "cloud" based face detection features and a low cost for any parts when they reach end of life.Sometimes, local simple systems can be enough.Everything for the system we have these switches for can still be sourced and replaced on an as needed basis,including smoke alarms/sirens - all with anti tamper features and battery level reporting, right down the range to these small contacts.Be aware that if using the 3m sticky tape option that your anti tamper microswitch at the rear has to press firmly on the surface as if it moves away from it slightly it can trigger the alarm if anti-tamper is turned on at the base.One attempt at break in 3 years ago was stopped by the sirens which probably paid for the alarm.Recommended, even in 2016.

My old door sensor broke. Changed the batteries, no good. Not working at all. Purchased a new one off Amazon. It arrived fine. Today having looked at the instructions connected it to the alarm and the door however the alarm was showing a tamper alert. The sensor worked fine but the tamper signal would not clear. I took the new one off and compared it with the old one and discovered the problem. On the tamper switch on the sensor there should b a small spring. It was missing from the new one. Thankfully I was able to get the spring carefully off the old one and fit it to the new one. I refitted the new one and bingo it works and the tamper alarm on the panel has cleared. So glad I kept the old one. Quality control where made slipped up I think. Keep an eye open for this issue. Overall It now works as it should. Great.......Be well all.

I have had no no problems with this keypad since I purchased it. Setting it up, was easy and it integrated with my Yale alarm system without any problems.

Good
