2GIG DW30E-900

The 2GIG DW30E-900 is an outdoor wireless contact sensor. It is part of the E+ series contacts. It's an encrypted, extended range, 900MHz sensor. The 2GIG DW30E-900 can withstand extreme weather conditions as it carries an IP56 rating. It's a long range sensor and magnet, and can accept a normally-open or normally-closed external input.

The sensor operates using a magnetic reed switch that monitors the alignment between the sensor body and its included magnet. When the protected opening is closed, the magnet keeps the circuit in a normal state. When the opening is moved, the magnet separates from the sensor, triggering a signal to the control panel. This method provides reliable open and close detection even in outdoor installations.

The DW30E-900 uses the 900 MHz E+ wireless platform, which is designed to provide extended range and encrypted communication. It is commonly used with the 2GIG Edge panel. This allows the sensor to maintain reliable connectivity over longer distances, making it a strong option for outdoor applications such as gates or structures located away from the main building. It is intended for use with systems that support 2GIG E+ sensors, ensuring compatibility with modern encrypted wireless installations.

This sensor uses the 900 MHz E+ wireless platform with two-way encrypted communication, allowing it to maintain reliable connectivity over long distances. It is designed to support installations where sensors may be located far from the control panel, such as large properties or multi-structure layouts. Under ideal conditions, the extended range can reach up to approximately 1.2 miles, helping expand coverage beyond typical wireless limitations.

The DW30E-900 is engineered for outdoor durability, with an IP56-rated housing that resists water and environmental exposure. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 150°F, allowing it to perform reliably in harsh weather conditions. The enclosure is also paintable, allowing the sensor to blend with its mounting surface for a more discreet installation.

This sensor features a wide magnet gap of up to 1.3 inches, which makes it especially useful for outdoor applications where precise alignment can be difficult. This added tolerance is ideal for gates or structures that may shift slightly over time. The device also supports an external input for normally open or normally closed devices, allowing it to be integrated with other types of contacts or switches for expanded use cases.

The DW30E-900 is powered by a CR123A lithium battery and is designed for long service life, with typical battery operation lasting up to five years depending on usage. It also performs regular supervisory check-ins and reports alarm, tamper, and low battery conditions to the control panel.

The 2GIG DW30E-900 is a strong solution for extending security coverage to outdoor areas where durability, range, and installation flexibility are critical. Its combination of rugged construction and advanced wireless performance makes it well suited for demanding perimeter protection applications.
