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.

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.

Magnet direction marks

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 Sealing Cover removal while changing

2. Feed the cable through the access hole in Sensor Mounting Plate. Use the cable notch on mounting plate to pass through the jacketed portion of cable, then attach the Sensor Mounting Plate.

3. Route the cable to the external contact switch and fasten at intervals to secure the cable.

SEALING COVER

4. Remove the Sealing Cover and feed the wires through the rubber wire seal. If installed, remove the batteries.

5. Connect the wires to terminal block in the battery chamber, then install the batteries.

SENSOR

6. Replace the Sealing Cover. Note: The cover screw hole should line up with the screw hole in the sensor cover. Press to close. Apply silicone caulking to

the rubber wire seal.

7. Engage the tabs in the Sensor Mounting Plate to the slots in the sensor, and swing closed. Secure with cover screw.
