Magellan DCTXP2, DCTXP2-TI07 - Wireless 2-Zone Door Contact Manual

Introduction

The DCTXP2 can support two inputs simultaneously (reed switch & universal input). It transmits two different serial numbers (SN), one for each input, which are always SN and SN+1 (e.g. 240 000 & 240 001). A switch or other security device can be connected to the universal transmitter input terminals to provide wireless transmission of the device's open/ closed status.

Location & Mounting

There should be at least 30cm (1ft) between each transmitter and 1.5m (5ft) between the transmitters and the receiver.

Testing the Unit

1. Perform a signal strength test before finalizing installation. If the transmission is weak, relocate the transmitter by a few inches to improve reception.
2. Verify that the batteries are inserted properly.
3. Assign the door contact to a Magellan receiver.
4. Open and close the assigned door/ window to verify proper operation.

- Do not cut, bend or alter the antenna. Avoid mounting the door contact near or on metal as this may affect transmission.

1. Learn Mode
   Learn Mode allows you to transmit the serial numbers of each input. To enter Learn Mode, open the cover and wait until the LED stops flashing.
   Anti-Tamper Switch	Serial Number	Visual Confirmation
   Press and release the anti-tamper switch once.	SN = Reed switch (e.g. 240 000)	The LED will flash once four times.
   Press and release the anti-tamper switch twice within one second.	SN+1 = Universal transmitter input (e.g. 240 001)	The LED will flash twice rapidly four times.

2. Powering the Unit
   Verify proper polarity and insert two alkaline "AAA" batteries. After inserting batteries, a power up sequence will begin (10-20 seconds) during which the door contact will not detect an open zone or tamper.
   Low Battery
   The door contact performs a battery test every 12 hours. If the voltage is below 2.3V after four consecutive battery tests (48 hrs.), the red LED will flash at 5 second intervals and the DCTXP2 will transmit a low battery signal.
   Replacing the Batteries
   To replace batteries:

   1. Remove the old batteries.
   2. Press and release the anti-tamper switch several times.
   3. Wait 60 seconds to reinitialize the unit.
