Frequently Asked Questions


Where should the sensor and magnet go?


Mount the sensor on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving part; keep the gap ≤ 3/4″ and align to the sensor’s locator mark. We’ll verify with a live test after enrollment.


How long do the batteries last and what type do I need?


It uses two CR2032 coin cells. The product page rates life up to eight years; best practice is to replace with the exact type about every 5 years (your panel will alert for low battery).


How far can it be from the panel?


Listed open-air range is ~600 ft; real-world range varies with construction. We confirm signal strength during installation.


Can I get “door left open” notifications or trigger scenes?


Yes—using Alarm.com rules, we can enable left-open alerts and automations like turning on lights or adjusting the thermostat when a door/window opens.


Will it work with my IQ Panel?


If your system supports 319.5 MHz sensors, yes. We’ll confirm your panel’s radio and firmware (e.g., IQ Panel 4 with 319.5 MHz card) during your quote.


Ready for Clean, Compact Perimeter Protection?


Smart Shield Systems will place, enroll, and test your IQ Mini DW-S, set up chimes and notifications, and tie it into your scenes—so you always know what’s open, closed, or left ajar.
