OUTDOOR WIRELESS CONTACT SENSOR MANUAL
Installation Instructions
The Outdoor Wireless Contact (2GIG-DW30E-345) is designed for installation on gates. It is one of the e-Series devices from Nortek
Security and Control providing enhanced security with encrypted communications to the control panel using the 345Mhz frequency.
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
sensor 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 and wall tamper.

Installing the Batteries
1.
Loosen the cover screw.
2.
Use a small screwdriver in the Pry point to remove the
Sensor Mounting Plate
3.
Remove the Sealing Cover.
4.
Install the two Lithium Ion batteries (note battery polarity).
5.
Align the Sealing Cover to the screw hole in the sensor cover,
then press to close.
6.
Engage Sensor tabs into mating holes in Sensor Mounting
Plate and swing closed. Secure with cover screw.
Mounting Guidelines
Mount the Sensor within 100 ft (30 m) of the control panel. Although the transmitter may have a range of 350 ft (106 m) open air,
the sensor location can have a significant effect on range. In open / unobstructed situations, the transmitter range may be greater.
Testing the Outdoor Wireless Contact
Before mounting the Outdoor Wireless Contact at the desired location, perform a walk test to verify that it can establish good
Radio Frequency (RF) communication with the control panel.
Utilize a Repeater (P/N: 2GIG-RPTR1-345) if the RF communication is insufficient for the desired location.
NOTE:
To fully test the Outdoor Wireless Contact, see the control panel’s Installation and Programming Guide. Use equipment
code 2865 eSeries Outdoor Door/Window Sensor.

•
Mount the device on a vertical surface (at a sufficient height) where water, snow and ice buildup won’t interrupt operation.
NOTE:
Adding silicone caulk surrounding the rubber wire seal on the Sealing Cover will increase protection against water.

•
Mount the Magnet on the magnet sensing side of the Sensor (as indicated by two horizontal lines). On wooden surfaces a
gap of approximately 2” is possible. This will be decreased when mounting on metal surfaces.

•
Mount the Sensor on the stationary surface, and mount the Magnet on the moving surface.

•
Mount the Magnet and Sensor parallel with one another.

•
Mount the sensor and magnet on the inside of the structure (if possible).
NOTE:
Use screws suitable for the mounting surface.

•
If mounted on a curved surface, use zip ties and/or suitable screws to fasten the Sensor and Magnet.
Tamper Protection:
The tamper switch will activate if the cover is removed or if the sensor is detached from its mounting plate.

Mounting the Sensor on a Flat Surface.
1.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the
Sensor Mounting Plate.
2.
Ensure that the Magnet Sensing
Marks are aligned toward the desired
magnet location.
3.
Screw the Mounting plate into the
desired surface.
4.
Replace the Sensor onto the Mounting
plate and tighten the cover screw.
Mounting the Magnet on a Flat Surface.
1.
Ensure that the magnet marks are aligned
to the desired magnet location.
2.
Mount the magnet into the desired
surface using the two screws.
Sensor and Magnet Mounting Distance
The preferred mounting distance between the Sensor and
Magnet is 1/4 inch.
Sensor and Magnet Mounting Height
Ideally, the Sensor and Magnet should be mounted on
surfaces of equal height.
When mounted at a level height, the 1/4” preferred mounting
height offset should be attained.
A height offset that exceeds 1/2” will decrease detection
capabilities.
Maximum Gap = 1.25"

PAINTING THE SENSOR
The sensor and magnet may be painted to match the color of the mounting surface. Only paints made for plastic may be used.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for preparing the plastic, applying the paint and recommended drying times.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE METALLIC PAINT COLORS.
Figure 1:
Example: Self-
Locking Stainless Steel Strap
EXTERNAL WIRING
- May be used with external closed contact switches.
Note:
Use minimum of 22AWG jacketed
cable. The contact switch must be a Form
C (SPDT) type.
UL: Maximum
wire length cannot exceed 3 feet.
1.
Strip the cable jacket back about four
inches to provide adequate space for
Sealing Cover removal while changing
batteries.
2.
Feed the cable through the access hole
in Sensor Mounting Plate. Use the cable
notch on mounting plate to pass through
the jacketed portion of cable, then attach
the Sensor Mounting Plate.
3.
Route the cable to the external contact
switch and fasten at intervals to secure
the cable.
4.
Remove the Sealing Cover and feed the
wires through the rubber wire seal. If
installed, remove the batteries.
5.
Connect the wires to terminal block in the
battery chamber, then install the batteries.
6.
Replace the Sealing Cover.
Note:
The cover screw hole should line up with the screw hole in the sensor cover. Press to close. Apply silicone caulking to
the rubber wire seal.
7.
Engage the tabs in the Sensor Mounting Plate to the slots in the sensor, and swing closed. Secure with cover screw.
Mounting on a Curved Surface
Strap ties and cable ties used for mounting are not supplied.
Recommended are:

•
Self-locking stainless steel strap ties (recommended)

•
Heavy duty Nylon 6/6 lN and Temperature Rated cable ties
(0.5 inch wide)

•
A combination of screws and ties.
