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ar

e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contr olpanel.

NOTE: TofullytesttheThinDoor/WindowContact,seethe

controlpanel’ sInstallationandProgrammingGuide.

Mounting Guidelines

Usetheseguidelineswheninstallingthedoorcontactforinternal

switchusage:

• MountSensor

s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

nsororientationmayleadtoimprovedrange.

• MountSensor

satLeast4.7in(12cm)AbovetheFloor.

Placingsensorsslightlyabovefloorlevelhelpstominimize

possiblesensordamage.

• Sin

gle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No

t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).

• Ke

ep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wi

ring(forexample,neara

furnaceorinautilityroom).

• AlignMa

gnetwithSensor.Makesurethealignmentarrowon

themagnetpointstothecenteralignmentmarkonthesensor

(seeFigure1ThinDoor/

WindowContact—Sensorand

Magnet).

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.

Tomountthedoorcontact:

1 Atthetopofthesensor,pressdownonthecliptounlockthe

sensor’sbackplate.Then,gentlypulldownonthebackplateto

removeit.

2GIG-DW10-345 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.

Thin Door/Window Contact | Installation Instructions IMPORTANT: To minimize the risk of potential sensor damage, always mount the sensor at a minimum height of 4.7 in (12 cm) from the floor. 4 5 6 Using the two (2) Phillip Head Screws (provided), secure the backplate the door (or door frame). Ensure that the alignment arrow on the magnet is lined up with the middle mark on the sensor (see Figure 1 Thin Door/ Window Contact—Sensor and Magnet).
