THIN DOOR/WINDOW CONTACT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The
Thin
Door/Window
Contact
(2GIG
‐
DW14
‐
433)
is
designed
for
use
on
doors,
windows,
and
other
objects
that
open
and
close.
It
communicates
with
the
control
panel
using
the
433
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
control
panel.
NOTE:
To
fully

Thin
Door/Window
Contact,

the
control
panel’s
Installation
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
away
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
).
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.
