Smart Shield Systems

Thin Door/Window Sensor(DW10)

A slim, surface-mount wireless contact made for tight trim. The 2GIG-DW10-345 is only ¾″ wide, uses a strong rare-earth magnet, and supports both the built-in reed and an external N/C input—so one sensor can provide two zones of protection. It’s fully supervised, battery powered, and designed for reliable 345 MHz performance.

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems


  • Clean installs that last: we align the magnet for the correct gap, label zones clearly, and test supervision/tamper so you get dependable alerts.

  • Two-zone setups when useful: we can use the internal reed for the door/window and the external input for a second contact (e.g., a screen or top sash).

  • Right hardware for your panel: need encryption? we’ll spec the DW10e-345 eSeries version for supported systems.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can this sensor handle two zones?


Yes. The DW10 supports the internal reed and an external N/C dry contact at the same time, letting one device monitor two openings.


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


A CR2032 coin cell. The eSeries spec lists up to ~5 years typical life; the classic DW10 is also low-draw and reports low battery to the panel.


How far is the wireless range?


Published open-air range is about 350 ft to a 2GIG wireless panel; real-world range depends on construction and panel placement.


What’s the required magnet gap?


Follow 0.625″ minimum (about ⅝″) with ~0.85″ typical for reliable trips. We align and test during installation.


Is there an encrypted version?


Yes—DW10e-345 adds eSeries encryption with the same slim profile. We’ll recommend it if your panel supports it.


Ready for Slim, Reliable Perimeter Protection?


Smart Shield Systems will install and enroll your DW10 thin contact, align the magnet gap, and configure single- or two-zone protection—so doors and windows report exactly as they should, every time.
