TX+DWS Door/Window Sensor Installation Instructions
PLEASE SEE REVERSE SIDE FOR IMPORTANT PRODUCT
WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMER INFORMATION.
Description
The TX+DWS Door/Window Sensor is intended for installation on doors,
windows, and other objects that open and close. The sensor transmits signals
to the control panel when a magnet mounted near the sensor is moved away
from or closer to the sensor.
The TX+DWS features the TX+ Encryption protocol which provides encrypted
wireless communication to select Interlogix control panels. Please refer to your
panel’s installation instructions to see if it is TX+ Encrypted capable.
The TX+DWS also utilizes the standard ITI-319 protocol which is compatible
with all Interlogix control panels and receivers.

Enrollment Into TX+ Encryption Supported Panels
To enroll the TX+DWS as an encrypted sensor into a panel that supports the
TX+ Encryption protocol, follow these steps:
1)
Place the panel into program mode, then go to Learn Sensors menu.
Refer to your specific alarm panel manual for details on these
menus.
2)
Once the Learn Sensors mode has been activated, remove the
battery pull tab to auto-enroll the device. Then select the appropriate
sensor group and number. Refer to your specific alarm panel manual
for details on the different sensor groups.
3)
If the panel does not respond upon removing the battery pull tab, exit
the Learn Sensors mode and then remove the front sensor housing
and transmitter from the back housing by inserting a small flat head
screwdriver into the slot at the top of the sensor and pressing on the
tab. Remove the batteries from the sensor.
4)
With the batteries removed, return back to the panel and activate the
Learn Sensors mode again. With Learn Sensors mode activated, re-
insert the batteries (paying close attention to the battery polarity
indicators) to auto-enroll the device.
Note: Utilization of the TX+ Encrypted protocol is only compatible with
select Interlogix control panels. When enrolled into a panel that is TX+
Encrypted capable, the enrollment menu screen may indicate “TX+
Encrypted” to verify that the sensor is communicating to the panel via the
encrypted protocol. Please refer to your panel’s installation instructions
to verify that the panel supports TX+ Encrypted capability.
Enrollment into Non TX+ Encryption Supported Panels (ITI-
319 Protocol)
To enroll the TX+DWS into a panel utilizing the standard ITI-319 protocol,
follow these steps:
1)
First remove the battery pull tabs from the device.
2)
After the pull tabs have been removed, place the panel into program
mode, then go to Learn Sensors menu. Refer to your specific alarm
panel manual for details on these menus.
3)
Once the Learn Sensors mode has been activated, remove the front
sensor housing and transmitter from the back housing by inserting a
small flat head screwdriver into the slot at the top of the sensor and
pressing on the tab. This will activate the tamper switch which will
auto-enroll the device. Then select the appropriate sensor group and
number. Refer to your specific alarm panel manual for details on the
different sensor groups.
4)
If the panel does not respond upon tampering the device, replace
and then remove the cover again to tamper the sensor another time.
Repeat until the panel responds, and then continue to selecting the
appropriate sensor group and number.
Mounting
Included with this device is double sided tape for the transmitter and magnet,
as well as screws if a more secure method of mounting is preferred. Choose a
suitable location for the sensor by following the procedure in the section
“Sensor Testing” ensuring desired signal strength is achieved. Note that it is
recommended the transmitter be installed on the stationary or non-moving part
of the installation (frame) and the magnet installed on the moving object (door).
Where possible, install sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a
transmitter may have an open-air range of 500 ft. (150 m) or more, the
environment at the installation site may have a significant effect on operational
range. Changing a sensor location may improve wireless communication.
For reliable bonding with the provided double sided tape, ensure the surface is
clean and dry. Apply the tape to the backside of the sensor, and then to the
desired location. Apply firm pressure for several seconds. When mounting with
double sided tape, ensure temperatures are above 50°F and will remain above
50°F for at least 24 hours to ensure proper bond. After 24 hours, the bond will
hold at lower temperatures.
Sensor Testing
The sensor test verifies proper communication between the sensor and the
panel/receiver. The sensor should be tested prior to permanent installation, as
well as weekly. To test the sensor, refer to the specific panel/receiver
documentation and do the following:
1)
Put the panel/receiver into sensor test mode
2)
Open the door/window the sensor is installed on
– the sensor will
then transmit a signal
3)
Listen for the siren beeps to determine the appropriate response.
