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.

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.

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.

Mounting the Sensor on a Flat Surface.

1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the
Sensor Mounting Plate.

2. Ensure that the Magnet Direction Marks
are aligned toward the desired magnet
location.

3. Screw the Mounting plate into the
desired surface.

4. Replace the Sensor onto the Mounting
plate and tighten the cover screw.

5. Secure the magnet into place.

Sensor and Magnet Mounting Height

Ideally, the Sensor and Magnet should be mounted on
surfaces of equal height.

When mounted at a level height, the 1/4” preferred mounting
height offset should be attained.

A height offset that exceeds 1/4” may decrease detection
capabilities.

Mounting the Magnet on a Flat Surface.

1. Ensure that the magnet marks are aligned
to the desired magnet location.

2. Mount the sensor into the desired
surface using the two screws.

Recommended Gap = 0.25"

1/4”
Recommended

Sensor and Magnet Mounting Distance

The preferred mounting distance between the Sensor and
Magnet is 1/4 inch.

The maximum gap is 2 inches.

Mounting on a Curved Surface

Strap ties and cable ties used for mounting are not supplied.
Recommended are:

• Self-locking stainless steel strap ties (recommended)

• Heavy duty Nylon 6/6 lN and Temperature Rated cable ties
(0.5 inch wide)

• A combination of screws and ties.

EXTERNAL WIRING - May be used with external closed contact switches.

Note: Use minimum of 22AWG jacketed

cable. The contact switch must be a Form
C (SPDT) type.

UL: Maximum wire length cannot exceed 3 feet.

1. Strip the cable jacket back about four

inches to provide adequate space for
