Wireless Recessed Door/Window Sensor
RF-RDWS-345-NN

Description

The Recessed Door/Window Sensor is a supervised, wireless sensor that detects the opening and closing of doors or windows. The sensor and magnet are recessed mounted
into the frame.
When activated, the sensor transmits an open (trip) or close (restore) signal to the panel. These are the signals the unit provides: supervisory and low battery (as needed). The
the sensor is powered by (1) replaceable 3-VDC, lithium battery.

Mounting the Sensor

Verify mounting location before drilling any holes, the area must be able to accept an 11/16” hole to a depth of 2 1/4” for the sensor and 5/8” for the magnet
The holes must be drilled directly across from each other to ensure the magnet and sensor operate properly
Using an 11/16” drill bit drill the hole for the magnet first, after drilling the magnet hole mark the location directly across for the sensor hole.
The magnet and sensor are slightly larger than the drilled hole to ensure a snug fit, a small amount of routing the hole may be required
Push both magnet and sensor into mounting holes

Programming

The following steps describe the general guidelines for programming the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the specific panel documentation for complete programming details.

Set the panel to the program mode.
Proceed to the SENSORS menu.
Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number assignments.
When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor for learning:

Remove the cap from the sensor by using a screwdriver and twisting the cap
Pull the battery tab out to power the sensor
After the battery tab has been pulled the sensor will transmit “tampers” for the first fives activations, the sensor should be enrolled during one of these first five trips. If the device is tripped too many times before enrollment the battery must be removed and reinstalled to activate the tamper trips again.

5. Exit program mode.

Testing the Sensor

Set the panel to the sensor test mode.
Monitor the system after tripping the sensor. Refer to the specific panel documentation for interpretation of the results to ensure desired signal strength is achieved.
Note: If a low battery alarm occurs, replace the battery within 7 days.

CAUTION: Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.

Battery Replacement

Remove the sensor cap and carefully pull out the circuit board.
Push out the old battery towards the antennas and replace it with a new battery.
Carefully slide the board back into housing, note the slot for alignment.
Replace the cap and activate the device at least five times.
