Qolsys Replacement Magnet Description:

The Qolsys Replacement Magnet works as a replacement rare earth magnet for standard Qolsys door and window sensors that exist with your current Qolsys system.  If you are using a wireless transmitter with your magnet, you need to make sure you install the magnet no further than ½” from the senor when the door/window is closed.  If the magnet is further than ½” from the transmitter, it will falsely state that the door/window is open. Proper alignment between the magnet and the sensor is essential to the proper function of the sensor. Make sure the magnet is between the two-line marks on the side of the wireless sensor where it typically marks the spot by a sticker.  Improper installation of the magnet will cause the window sensor to malfunction and provide false readings.

If you wanted to keep your window open while it is armed you could install a second magnet 3-6 inches in. So that it would be lined up with the sensor even while the window is open. That way you could arm your system without bypassing a window sensor.
