2GIG Outdoor Wireless Contact

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems

• Purpose-built for outdoors: We mount to flat or curved surfaces (posts/pipes) with screws or straps, seal the cable entry, and verify RF range back to your panel.

• Two zones from one sensor: We’ll use the internal reed for the gate/door and (optionally) wire a second N/C contact (e.g., latch or overhead switch) for separate alerts.

• Clean programming & testing: We enroll the proper loops (Loop 2 = reed, Loop 1 = external), confirm tamper reporting, and set up Alarm.com notifications.

• Looks that blend in: We can paint the housing to match your fence or frame (non-metallic paints only).

Key Features

• Encrypted eSeries 345 MHz wireless for authenticated signaling to compatible 2GIG panels.

• Outdoor durability: IP56 tested; –40° to 150°F, 0–100% RH operating range.

• Wide-gap contact: preferred ¼″ spacing; maximum spec 1.25″ (manual). Note: on wood surfaces ~2″ is achievable; expect less on metal.

• Dual-zone capable: internal reed + external N/C input (UL installs: ≤ 3 ft lead, Form C (SPDT) contact).

• Strong RF: up to ~350 ft open-air; supervised (~70-min check-ins) with low-battery and tamper reporting.

• Battery life: up to ~5 years (2× Lithium AA).

Product Specifications (At-a-Glance)

• Model: 2GIG-DW30E-345 (Outdoor, eSeries encrypted)

• Frequency: 345 MHz; Loops: Loop 2 = magnet/reed, Loop 1 = external contact.

• RF Range: 350 ft (106 m) open air; supervision ~70 min.

• Magnet Gap: up to 1.25″ (spec); manual notes ~2″ achievable on wood.

• Dimensions: Sensor 4.57 × 2.13 × 1.54″; Magnet 4.06 × 0.98 × 1.10″; rare-earth magnet.

• Power: 2× Lithium AA (included); up to ~5-yr life.

• Housing / Finish: ASA, paintable (non-metallic paints).

• Environmental / Rating: –40° to 150°F, 0–100% RH, IP56.

Compatibility Notes

• Made for 2GIG eSeries panels (GC2e / GC3e / EDGE). We’ll verify firmware and enrollment on site. (The non-encrypted DW30-345 served legacy panels.)

Popular Use Cases

• Driveway or side-yard gates (swing or slide)

• Pool enclosures needing notification on entry

• Sheds, barns, and roll-up doors with large gaps or shifting frames

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this really handle outdoor weather?

Yes. It’s IP56 tested and rated from –40° to 150°F with 0–100% humidity tolerance. We still mount where ice/snow buildup won’t block operation and seal the cable entry.

What’s the magnet gap?

Spec is up to 1.25″; on wood surfaces, the manual notes ~2″ is possible. We align parts for the best signal and longevity; gaps shrink on metal.

How do the two zones work?

Use Loop 2 for the built-in reed (gate/door). Loop 1 accepts a wired N/C contact (UL: Form C, ≤ 3 ft lead) for a second input—great for latches or specialty switches.

Will it fit on a round post?

Yes—mount to curved surfaces with stainless or heavy-duty nylon straps; post diameter should be < 2″. We secure and test for vibration.

How long do the batteries last?

Expect up to ~5 years under typical use. Your panel/app will report low battery well before replacement.

Ready for Outdoor Perimeter Protection?

Smart Shield Systems will specify, mount, enroll, and test your 2GIG-DW30E-345—and set up alerts and scenes—so gates, sheds, and pool doors are as closely watched as your front door.
