THIN DOOR/WINDOW CONTACT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TheThinDoor/WindowContact(2GIG‐DW10‐345)isdesignedforuse
ondoors,windows,andotherobjectsthatopenandclose.It
communicateswiththecontrolpanelusingthe345MHzfrequency.
Whenthemagnet(whichismountednearthesensor)movesaway
fromorclosertothedoorcontact’ssensor,
signalsaretransmittedto
thecontrolpanel.Thedoorcontactalsohasanexternalinputthat
acceptsconnectionsfromNormally‐Closed(NC)drycontactdevices.
Foraddedprotection,itisalsoequippedwithacovertamper.

Testing the Thin Door/Window Contact
Beforemountingthedoorcontactatthedesiredlocation,performa
walktesttoverifythatitcanestablishgoodRadioFrequency(RF)
communicationswiththecontr olpanel.
NOTE: TofullytesttheThinDoor/WindowContact,seethe
controlpanel’sInst allationandProgrammingGuide.
Mounting Guidelines
Usetheseguidelineswheninstallingthedoorcontactforinternal
switchusage:
• MountSensorswithin100ft(30m)oftheControlPanel.
Althoughthetransmittermayhavearangeof350ft(106.7m)
openair,thesensorlocationcanhaveasignificanteffecton
range.Inopen/unobstructedsituations,thetransmitterrange
maybegreater.Inadversewirelessconditions,changingthe

sensororientationmayleadtoimprovedrange.
• MountSensorsatLeast4.7in(12cm)AbovetheFloor.
Placingsensorsslightlyabovefloorlevelhelpstominimize
possiblesensordamage.
• Singlevs.DoubleDoorInstallation.Forsingle‐door
installation,mountthesensoronthedoorframeandthe
magnetonthedoor.Fordouble‐doorinstallation,mountthe
sensorontheleast‐useddoorandthemagnetonthemost‐
useddoor.
• DoNotExposeSensorstoMoistureorExtremeTemperature.
Itisbesttomountsensorsinadrylocationwherethe
operatingtemperaturedonotexceed32°to120°F(0°to49°
C).
• KeepSensorsandMagnetsAwayfromMetal/Metallic
Surfaces.Tokeepsensorsandmagnetsawa yfrommetalor
metallicsurfaces(forexample,foilwallpaper),itis
recommendedthatyouusespacers(notincluded).Youshould
alsoavoidmountingsensorsinareaswherethereisalarge
quantityofmetalorelectrical
wiring(forexample,neara
furnaceorinautilityroom).
• AlignMagnetwithSensor.Makesurethealignmentarrowon
themagnetpointstothecenteralignmentmarkonthesensor
(see
Figure1ThinDoor/WindowContact—Sensorand
Magnet).
Mounting the Thin Door/Window Contact
Usethefigurebelowasaguidelinewhenmountingthedoorcontact.
Instep7below,youhavetheoptiontomountthedoorcontactwith
anexternalinputwireforanNCdrycontactdevice.

Tomountthedoorcontact:
1 Atthetopofthesensor,pressdownonthecliptounlockthe
sensor’sbackplate.Then,gentlypulldownonthebackplateto
removeit.
2 Onthebackplate,drill‐throughtopandbottommountingholesif
needed(seeFigure2ThinDoor/WindowContact—Backplateand
BatteryCompartment).
3 Holdingthebackplatelocation,placethebottommountinghole
asfollows:
• SingleDoorInstallation.Atthedesiredlocationonthedoor
frame.
• DoubleDoorInstallation.Atthedesiredlocationontheleast‐
useddoor.
