Door Contact (DC-23) User Manual V:R3

The Door Contact monitors the opening/closing of specified devices (e.g. door or window). The Door Contact is fixed to the
monitored device frame with an actuating magnet fixed to the dev ice. When the door or window opens, the magnet moves
away from the Door Contact, activating an internal magnetic switch causing the Door Contact to transmit alarm signal to th e
Central Panel. The device also has the capabilities of communicating signal problems along with low battery situations.

The Door Contact design consists of a cover and base. The cover contains all electronics and the base provides a means for
fixing the device. An enclosed PCB tamper switch provides tamper protection against unauthorized device opening and/or
removal.

Parts Identification

1. Latch

2. LED indicator / Test button

Press the Test button to transmit learning code or enter test mode for 3 min.

3. Mounting Holes

Used to fixed and screw the Door Contact directly onto the Door Frame or Wall.

4. Tamper Switch

When Door Contact is mounted, the Tamper switch will be activated when the cover is
opened or when the Door Contact is removed from mounted surface.

Loosen the fixing screw and remove the cover to reveal terminal as shown.

5. Internal Magnetic Switch Jumper Switch (JP3)

- Jumper ON: Internal Magnetic Switch disabled. Only the device connected to Extension
Terminal will activate the Door Contact

- Jumper OFF: Internal Magnetic Switch enabled. (Factory Default for all models)

Jumper On

The jumper link is inserted

Jumper Off

if the jumper link is removed or
“parked” on one pin.

7. Extension Terminal

In addition to the built-in magnet switch, an additional 2-pi n dry contact terminal is provided
for an extension magnet switch or any device with N.C. (Normally Closed) functionality.

 In Normal Operation Mode, the LED will not light when the Door Contact is activated.
 When the Door Contact battery voltage is low, every time the Door Contact is activated

(device opened/ closed), the LED will light on for 2 sec.

 When the cover is opened or the tamper switch is triggered, the LED will light on for 2

seconds. When a tamper condition persists, the LED will light on for 2 seconds whenever the
Door Contact Is activated.

 When the Door Contact is in Test mode, the LED will light up every time it is activated.
 When the battery is exhausted, the Door Contact will stop all function, the LED will flash every 4 seconds.

The Door Contact has an extension terminal to provide enhanced flexibility. The extension terminal forms a closed loop
with the device connected to it. When the device is triggered the loop is opened, the Door Contact will also be triggered.

The extension terminal and the internal magnetic switch can function together to trigger the Door Contact when either of
them is activated, you can also choose to disable the internal magnetic switch through JP3 Jumper setting.

To connect the device to extension terminal:

1

1. Open the Door Contact’s cover.

 To open the cover, use your thumb to press on the Latch, while pressing it, pull out the cover from the base of the

Door Contact (see below picture from upper view angle).

2. The upper end of the front case has a thinner plastic knockout. Break through the knockout to create a hole for the
wiring connection to the extension terminal.

3. Connect the device to the extension terminal

The Extension terminal may be useful for the following situation.

 If the Door Contact cannot be mounted on the door frame, you ca n connect an additional e xtension magnet s witch to

the extension terminal to mount the Door Contact remotely.

 Any dry contact device with N.C. (Normal Close) loop c an be connected to the Extension Terminal making the Door

Contact serve as an Universal Transmitter.

 Multiple dry contact device can be wired together with Door Contact, as show in diagram below.

 The extension terminal and internal m agnetic switch can function together to trigger the Door Contact when either of

them is activated, you can also choose to disable the internal magnetic switch through JP3 Jumper setting. If both
extension terminal and internal magnetic switch is in use and any of them is triggered (opened). The Door Contact will
only send Door Contact close (restore) signal when both of them are closed.
