RECESSED DOOR CONTACT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The

 

2GIG

 

Recessed

 

Door

 

Contact

 

(2GIG

DW20R

345)

 

is

 

the

 

industry’s

 

most

 

flexible

 

supervised

 

door

 

contact.

 

It

 

communicates

 

with

 

the

 

2GIG

 

Control

 

Panel

 

using

 

the

 

345

 

MHz

 

wireless

 

frequency.

 

It

 

also

 

allows

 

a

 

multitude

 

of

 

applications

 

while

 

hiding

 

the

 

transmitter

 

within

 

a

 

door

 

or

 

window

 

frame.

 

It

 

is

 

powered

 

by

 

a

 

replaceable

 

lithium

 

battery,

 

which

 

should

 

last

 

five

 

(5)

 

years

 

under

 

normal

 

usage.

Installation Guidelines

Before

 

mounting

 

the

 

door

 

contact

 

to

 

the

 

desired

 

location,

 

test

 

the

 

sensor

 

to

 

verify

 

that

 

it

 

can

 

establish

 

good

 

radio

 

frequency

 

(RF)

 

communications

 

with

 

the

 

control

 

panel.

 

NOTE: 

To

 

learn

 

how

 

to

 

program

 

a

 

wireless

 

sensor

 

into

 

the

 

Control

 

Panel

 

and

 

for

 

testing

 

information,

 

see

 

the

 

Control

 

Panel’s

 

Installation

 

&

 

Programming

 

Guide

.

Guidelines

 

include:

Mount

 

Sensors

 

within

 

100

 

ft

 

(30

 

m)

 

of

 

the

 

Control

 

Panel

.

 

Although

 

the

 

transmitter

 

may

 

have

 

a

 

range

 

of

 

450

 

ft

 

(137.2

 

m)

 

in

 

open/unobstructed

 

situations,

 

the

 

environment

 

at

 

the

 

installation

 

site

 

can

 

have

 

a

 

significant

 

effect

 

on

 

transmitter

 

range.

Install

 

the

 

Recessed

 

Sensor

 

in

 

the

 

Door

 

or

 

Door

 

Frame

.

 

It

 

is

 

important

 

to

 

select

 

the

 

proper

 

placement

 

of

 

the

 

recessed

 

sensor/

transmitter

 

and

 

magnet.

 

The

 

sensor

 

comes

 

with

 

two

 

different

 

tops,

 

however,

 

the

 

screw

 

mount

 

is

 

recommended

 

for

 

securing

 

the

 

sensor

 

to

 

a

 

door

 

frame.

 

The

 

magnet

 

does

 

not

 

have

 

a

 

second

 

top

 

with

 

a

 

flange

 

to

 

screw

 

it

 

into

 

place

 

so

 

you

 

must

 

be

 

extremely

 

careful

 

to

 

ensure

 

that

 

the

 

magnet

 

is

 

tightly

 

in

 

place

 

upon

 

installation.

The

 

door

 

contact

 

can

 

be

 

mounted

 

in

 

either

 

the

 

door

 

jamb

 

or

 

door

 

frame.

 

The

 

best

 

practice

 

is

 

to

 

mount

 

it

 

in

 

the

 

door

 

frame.

follow

 

these

 

steps:

1a

Use

 

a

 

pencil

 

to

 

mark

 

the

 

location

 

for

 

the

 

sensor

 

and

 

magnet.

1b

Drill

 

two

 

(2)

 

holes

 

directly

 

across

 

from

 

each

 

other.

 

NOTE: 

It

 

is

 

important

 

to

 

ensure

 

these

 

holes

 

are

 

properly

 

aligned

 

(see

Using

 

an

 

11/16"

 

drill

 

bit,

 

follow

 

these

 

steps:

2a

Slowly

 

drill

 

the

 

first

 

hole

 

for

 

the

 

sensor

 

into

 

the

 

door

 

or

 

frame.

NOTE: 

Take

 

care

 

to

 

slowly

 

route

 

the

 

hole

 

to

 

ensure

 

the

 

snuggest

 

possible

 

fit.

 

The

 

sensor

 

diameter

 

is

 

specifically

 

designed

 

to

 

be

 

slightly

 

larger

 

than

 

11/16".

 

2b

Use

 

the

 

flanged

 

cap

 

with

 

the

 

included

 

screws

 

to

 

mount

 

the

 

recessed

 

sensor

 

into

 

the

 

door

 

or

 

window

 

frame.

2c

Drill

 

a

 

matching

 

hole

 

for

 

the

 

magnet,

 

directly

 

opposite

 

from

 

the

 

transmitter,

 

also

 

using

 

an

 

11/16"

 

drill

 

bit.
