The 2GIG-DW10-345 Thin Door/Window Contact is a security device designed to detect the opening and closing of doors, windows, and other objects. It communicates wirelessly with a control panel using a 345 MHz frequency. The system operates by detecting the movement of a magnet relative to a sensor. When the magnet, typically mounted on the moving part of a door or window, moves away from or closer to the sensor, a signal is transmitted to the control panel, indicating a change in status.
The primary function of the Thin Door/Window Contact is to provide security by monitoring entry points. It consists of two main components: a sensor and a magnet. The sensor is usually mounted on the door or window frame, while the magnet is mounted on the door or window itself. When the door or window is closed, the magnet is in close proximity to the sensor. When the door or window opens, the magnet moves away from the sensor, triggering an alarm signal to the control panel.
In addition to its magnetic contact function, the device features an external input. This allows the door contact to be connected to Normally-Closed (NC) dry contact devices, expanding its versatility to monitor other types of sensors or switches. This external input provides an additional layer of monitoring capability, making the device suitable for a wider range of security applications beyond just magnetic contact.
For enhanced security, the device is equipped with a cover tamper. This feature detects if the sensor's cover has been removed or tampered with, sending a tamper alert to the control panel. This ensures that unauthorized attempts to disable or interfere with the sensor are detected and reported.
Before permanent installation, it is recommended to perform a walk test to ensure reliable Radio Frequency (RF) communications with the control panel. This helps verify that the chosen mounting location provides adequate signal strength and avoids potential dead zones.
When mounting the sensor, several guidelines should be followed to optimize performance and longevity:
The mounting process involves detaching the backplate from the sensor, drilling through mounting holes if necessary, and securing the backplate to the desired location using the provided screws. The magnet can then be secured using the provided adhesive. If using the external input feature, the external input wire should be threaded through the base and connected to the external input wire jack on the sensor cover before replacing the sensor backplate.
The Thin Door/Window Contact is powered by two CR 2013 lithium coin batteries. Battery replacement is a straightforward process:
Following these guidelines and warnings will help ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Thin Door/Window Contact.
