Yale AC-ODC Outdoor Contact
Outdoor Contact
AC-ODC is an Outdoor Contact used to detect the opening and closure of outdoor
gates, entries, exits and more. The Outdoor Contact can also be placed on
metal materials, while its powerful magnet can tolerate a wide gap to reduce
false alarm. The device also has the capabilities of communicating signal
problems along with low battery situations. The front and back tamper switches
provide tamper protection against unauthorised device opening and removal

Battery
- The Outdoor Contact uses two AA L91 Lithium batteries as its power source. Please note: ALWAYS replace batteries with the correct size and voltage.
- The Outdoor Contact can detect low battery condition. When the battery voltage is low, a low battery signal will be sent to the Sync hub to notify the condition. The LED will light up when the Outdoor Contact is activated under low battery status. When the battery is exhausted, the Outdoor Contact will stop all function, the LED will flash every 4 seconds.
- When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.
Tamper Protection
- The Outdoor Contact is protected against any attempt to open the battery cover or to detach the device from its mounting surface.
- If the Outdoor Contact detects a tamper condition of battery cover opening or device removal, a tamper signal will be sent to the Sync hub to remind the user of the condition.
Supervisory Signal
- The Outdoor Contact will automatically transmit Supervisory Signals periodically to the Sync hub at random intervals of 30-50 minutes.
- If the Sync hub has not received the signal from the Outdoor Contact for a preset period time, the Sync hub will indicate the particular Outdoor Contact is experiencing an out-of- signal problem.
Test Mode
- Under Normal Mode, press the Test Button to transmit a test signal and learning code to the Sync hub. The Outdoor Contact will also enter the Test Mode for 3 minutes.
- Under Test Mode, the LED will light up whenever the Outdoor Contact is activated.
- Each additional Test Button press will reset Test Mode time to 3 minutes.
Getting Started
- Use a flat-head screwdriver into the slot and push upward to open the protective cover. (Figure 1)

- Put the Sync hub into Learning Mode (please refer to panel operation manual).
- Use a sharp tool to press the Outdoor Contact learn button.
- Refer to your Sync hub operation manual to complete the learn-in process.
- After the Outdoor Contact is learned-in, place the Sync hub into (Walk Test) mode, hold the Outdoor Contact in the desired location, and press the Test button to transmit test signal to Sync hub. If the Sync hub is within Outdoor Contact signal range, the panel will display Outdoor Contact information accordingly.

Mounting Methods and Installation
- It is recommended that the Outdoor Contact be placed on the fixed frame of door/window, and the magnet on the movable part of door/window.
- The rib marks on the magnet and Outdoor Contact must align. (Figure 2)
- The magnet should not be more than 3cm from the marked side of the Outdoor Contact when the door is closed.
- The Outdoor Contact has a back tamper switch on its back cover. Ensure the device is positioned within the bracket so that the tamper switch spring is pressed against the break- away area that is loosely connected to the bracket. If the Outdoor Contact is forcibly removed from the wall, the break-away areas will break off from the bracket and remain attached to the mounting surface, activating the tamper switch.
