OUTDOOR WIRELESS CONTACT SENSOR MANUAL

Installation Instructions

The Outdoor Wireless Contact (2GIG-DW30-345) is designed for installation on gates, doors, and other items 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 sensor 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 and wall tamper.

Box Contents

• Outdoor Sensor

• Magnet

• Lithium AA Batteries (2x)

• Mounting screws

Installing the Batteries

1. Loosen the cover screw.

2. Choose any pry point, then use a small screwdriver to

remove the Sensor Mounting Plate

3. Remove the Sealing Cover.

4. Install the two Lithium Ion batteries.

5. Align the Sealing Cover to the screw hole in the sensor cover,

then press to close.

6. Engage Sensor tabs into mating holes in Sensor Mounting

Plate and swing closed. Secure with cover screw.

Mounting Guidelines

Mount the Sensor 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.

Testing the Outdoor Wireless Contact

Before mounting the Outdoor Wireless Contact at the desired location, perform a walk test to verify that it can establish good

Radio Frequency (RF) communication with the control panel.

Utilize a Repeater (P/N: 2GIG-RPTR1-345) if the RF communication is insufficient for the desired location.

NOTE: To fully test the Outdoor Wireless Contact, see the control panel's Installation and Programming Guide.

• Mount the device on a vertical surface (at a sufficient height) where water, snow and ice buildup won't interrupt operation.

NOTE: Adding silicone caulk surrounding the rubber wire seal on the Sealing Cover will increase protection against water.

• Mount the Magnet on the magnet sensing side of the Sensor. On wooden surfaces a gap of approximately 2" is possible.

This will be decreased when mounting on metal surfaces.

• Mount the Sensor on the stationary surface, and mount the Magnet on the moving surface.

• Mount the Magnet and Sensor parallel with one another.

• If installed on a wooden surface, mount the sensor and magnet on the inside of the structure (if possible).

NOTE: Use screws suitable for the mounting surface.

• If mounted on a curved surface, use zip ties and/or suitable screws to fasten the Sensor and Magnet.

Tamper Protection:

The tamper switch will activate if the cover is removed or if the sensor is detached from its mounting location.
