THIN DOOR/WINDOW CONTACT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The

 

Thin

 

Door/Window

 

Contact

 

(2GIG

DW10

345)

 

is

 

designed

 

for

 

use

 

on

 

doors,

 

windows,

 

and

 

other

 

objects

 

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

 

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

the

 

Thin

 

Door/Window

 

Contact,

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

 

Figure

).

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.
