Smart Shield Systems
Bypass Door/Window (DW40)
A slim wireless door/window contact with a unique local bypass button. Press and hold the button (with the door closed) until the LED turns on, then open the door—no alarm signal is sent while bypass is active. The LED stays on for up to ~30 seconds and blinks every ~10 seconds to show bypass is engaged; closing the door cancels it. Ideal for a frequently used door when the system is armed (e.g., letting a pet out).
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 (At-a-Glance)
- 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
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.
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.
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.
A single CR2032 coin cell. The sensor is supervised and will report low battery to the panel when it’s time to replace it.
The spec lists ~275 ft open air to a 2GIG panel; actual range depends on construction and panel placement.
