Smart Shield Systems
2GIG Outdoor Wireless Contact
Harden your perimeter—even outside. The DW30E-345 is an encrypted, outdoor-rated door/window contact built for gates, sheds, pool enclosures, and outbuildings. It supports a wide magnet gap, includes cover & wall tamper, and can also monitor a wired N/C device as a second zone—all while surviving heat, cold, rain, and sun.
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).

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
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.
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.
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.
Yes—mount to curved surfaces with stainless or heavy-duty nylon straps; post diameter should be < 2″. We secure and test for vibration.
Expect up to ~5 years under typical use. Your panel/app will report low battery well before replacement.
