Bypass Door/Window (DW40)

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems

• Hands-on training: we show you (and anyone who needs it) exactly how to use the DW40’s local bypass safely and reliably.

• Panel configuration & logs: we enroll the sensor, enable bypass event logging on supported firmware, and verify history shows what happened.

• Security-first setup: prefer no local bypass? we can disable the button during install and still give you standard door/window protection with tamper and supervision.

• Clean install, correct gap: we mount and align the magnet for the proper ≤ 5/8″ gap, test range, and label everything for service.

• Ongoing support: battery replacements, range checks, and upgrade paths if the DW40 is unavailable in your area (we’ll spec the closest current option).

Key Features

• One-touch local bypass: temporarily bypass just this sensor without disarming the system. Events can be logged on panels that support bypass logging (e.g., GC2 fw 1.14+).

• Works with any 2GIG GC2 version for basic bypass behavior; logging support depends on firmware.

• Supervised & tamper-protected with low-battery reporting.

• Compact, clean install with adhesive or screws; 5/8″ max magnet gap.

Product Specifications

• Model: 2GIG-DW40-345 (Bypass Door/Window Contact)

• Frequency / Protocol: 345 MHz (2GIG)

• Open-air range: ~275 ft (80 m) to a 2GIG panel

• Battery: CR2032 3V lithium (included)

• Supervisory interval: ~70 minutes

• Magnet gap: ≤ 5/8″

• Dimensions / Material: 1.5″ × 1.0″ × 0.4″, white ABS

• Environment: 32–120 °F (0–49 °C); 5–95% RH, non-condensing

Compatibility Notes

• Pairs with 2GIG receivers (e.g., GC2); bypass event logging requires supported firmware (e.g., GC2 v1.14+).

• Some distributors note the DW40 is discontinued; when unavailable we’ll propose a DW10-345 plus panel rules (no local button) or a current-gen equivalent.

Popular Use Cases

• Back/side door used during “Armed Stay”

• Garage entry for quick in-and-out without disarming

• Pet door area where brief bypass is handy

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the local bypass?

With the door closed, press and hold the DW40’s bypass button until the LED turns on, then open the door. The LED stays on up to ~30 seconds (blinks every ~10s while active). Close the door to cancel bypass.

Will the panel show that I used bypass?

On panels/firmware that support it (e.g., GC2 v1.14+), bypass events are logged in system history. Basic bypass operation still works on earlier GC2 versions.

Can I disable the bypass button?

Yes. The feature can be disabled/enabled using the internal tamper-button procedure during battery insertion—for higher security if you want it to act like a standard contact.

What battery does it use and how long will it last?

A single CR2032 coin cell. The sensor is supervised and will report low battery to the panel when it’s time to replace it.

What’s the wireless range?

The spec lists ~275 ft open air to a 2GIG panel; actual range depends on construction and panel placement.
