Honeywell PAL-M

The Honeywell PAL-M is a magnet for the PAL-T surface mount contact. If you have lost a magnet, or you need an extra magnet for a PAL-T door or window contact, the PAL-M is the right choice. While the PAL-T magnetic contact comes in (3) colors, the PAL-M magnet only comes in (2) colors. If you have the PAL-T-WH white contact, you should order the white magnet (PAL-M-WH). If you have the PAL-T-BR brown contact, you should order the brown magnet (PAL-M-BR). Unfortunately, if you have the grey contact which is part number PAL-T-GY, there is no corresponding grey magnet. You will have to choose the white or brown magnet instead.

A Honeywell PAL-M magnet is useful as a replacement in case you lose one of your installed magnets. Also, the PAL-M magnet is good for when you’d like to vent your windows. During the spring and summer months, you may want to vent your windows to let in some outside air. Normally, you would not be able to arm your security system while your windows were vented. However to vent a window and still be able to arm your security system, place the first magnet 6-8” from the bottom left or right corner of your window and place a second magnet below the top magnet at the bottom corner of the window. Next, install the PAL-T contact so that when the window is shut, the top magnet and contact are within 1.125” and the alarm control panel is happy. If you were to open your window to the height of the contact, the bottom magnet will keep the system happy so there are no faults. You will be able to arm the system and if someone were to try and open the window further to break-in, an alarm would be triggered.
