Outdoor Wireless Contact Sensor

The 2GIG Outdoor Wireless Contact Sensor extends security coverage to exterior gates, doors and windows. It transmits a 345 MHz signal to a compatible control panel when the magnetic reed switch detects an opening or closing event. The housing can be painted to match the mounting surface. Two unique zones are supported for flexible system integration.

Ideal for wide outdoor gaps and wired accessories

Homeowners who need to monitor large exterior openings in harsh temperatures will benefit from the extended 350 ft open-air range and 5-year battery life. The second zone accepts a normally-closed circuit for external devices. Buyers without a 345 MHz control panel or who only require standard indoor contact monitoring should consider other options.

Dual-zone operation with external wiring

A single sensor provides one zone for the internal reed switch and a second zone for a wired normally-closed circuit, allowing both a gate position and an auxiliary device to report to the panel. This dual-zone design is the specification that determines whether the unit fits the intended security layout.

Questions about this item

How do I install the outdoor contact sensor and its magnet, and what step is commonly missed?

Mount the sensor at 4.6 x 2.1 x 1.5 inch and the magnet at 4.1 x 1.0 x 1.1 inch on the gate or door frame, align them within the wide-gap tolerance, and remember to wire any external device to the normally-closed circuit for the second zone.

What maintenance will this sensor need after I put it in place?

Replace the internal battery once it reaches the end of its up to 5 years rated life; the housing can be repainted to match the surface if the finish wears.

What is the first limit I will hit if the sensor transmits constantly over a long period?

The 345 MHz wireless link is rated for 350 ft (106.7 m) in open air, so range will become the limiting factor before battery or temperature ratings are reached.
