Place this sensor near doors, windows, or other entrances to ensure that they remain secure. With its 100-foot operating range, the WT-433 gives you the peace of mind that locks or bolts simply can't match.

Flashing Red Light Ensures the Security of Windows and Doors
The WT-433 works by sending a signal to the control panel or emergency dial whenever contact is broken, i.e. when an entrance or window is opened while the alarm is engaged. A red light on the sensor flashes when the alarm is triggered, which is helpful when you want to be sure that a door or window is fully closed.

Compact and lightweight, the WT-433 measures approximately 1.5 x 3.4 x 1.2 inches (WxHxD) and weighs just 2.5 ounces, which means it won't take up much space or detract from your decor. It also allows you to add as many magnetic contacts (product #MS-001, not included) as needed to keep the unit secure.

Compatibility and Battery Information
The WT-433 works with Emergency Dialer AD-433S, Control Panel SC-001, and Audio Alarm AA-433, and it runs on one 12-volt alkaline battery (included).

4 out of 5 stars Works excellent, a bit unsightly   November 26, 2009
voodoo (USA)
The Window/Door sensors are not the most attractive pieces of hardware you've ever seen. The silver terminals on the magnet are exposed instead of hidden within a housing. They do work very well though, which is the most important feature they could have.

Be aware that in most of the product photos they do not show you the wire that runs from the "wireless" unit to the magnets, but there is one. It's only wireless back to the main control panel. With some planning you could probably install this with the wire hidden, like in new construction. For those of us with existing door and window frames however it will be hard to completely hide the wire.

Also keep in mind that if you keep your windows locked, an intruder will most likely be breaking your window, not just sliding it open. I chose to use these units on my doors and am looking into the vibration sensors for the windows instead, but they might work for your application.

I attached a few photos at the top of the page, and you can see where I needed to modify my wooden door trim to get the sensors to sit flat. I used a Dremel to do this, and it wasn't hard but there was not another way for me to mount these and get them to work without modifying the trim around the door frame.

Overall they do work very well and I can accept the aesthetics of them for the price I paid.



4 out of 5 stars Simple install - worked as advertised   October 27, 2009
David E. Hoak (Cocoa, Florida USA)
Install was straight forward. The door where this item was installed used both of the provided spacers to bring the magnet in line with the switch. The only problem was when I encountered a metal door jamb the screws provided broke under what I thought to be only minor force. But after the holes were opened a little more and other screws selected, install went correctly.


4 out of 5 stars good for the price   October 6, 2009

I bought this in addition to the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit. Once figured out it works great.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to install and use   September 9, 2009
Unoman (Wheaton, IL USA)
I bought this product about a year ago now and it has been working flawlessly since then. The unit is very easy to install - follow the directions that come with it - it took me about one hour to install the three door sensors (I bought an extra one) and the one motion sensor. I usually use the remote unit to arm / disarm the unit and even after a year of use the batteries do not need replacement.
I have yet to install the telephone piece of the kit - the problem I face is that my house has multiple telephone lines and I need to locate the primary one. After a lot of procrastination, I finally decided to get a professional to do this piece of the work. If you have a simple telephone setup this should not be a problem either. I've tested the system randomly during this past year and it has never failed yet. I have had no false alarms of it going off when it should not and have taken long trips with at least some peace of mind. I would certainly recommend this as a very good alternative to all of those expensive alarm systems - and managed to get a 15% reduction in my insurance premium to boot!!



4 out of 5 stars The sticker is terrible but a good add-on   June 9, 2009
Tonupboy (NJ United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I installed the SC-1000 and purchased a few of these add-ons. It does the job picking up the signal quiet nicely and easy install. I suggest you stock up on the batteries because you dont want these to fail in time of need so test them once in a while using the chime mode. Anyway, my main gripe is the I had these on my window and when it got warm, the double sided tape started unsticking I found a couple of these dangling from a couple of my windows when the sun was beating on it...I basically had to move it around - make the sun heat doesnt get to it or else the tape undoes itself.
