- Compliment: Conforms to EN50131-2-6 Grade 2.
The image displays the Paradox DCTXP2/86 radio magnetic contact. It consists of two main components: a larger rectangular sensor unit and a smaller rectangular magnet. Both components are white and designed to be mounted on a door or window frame and its corresponding moving part.
Configuració i instal·lació
1. Instal·lació de la bateria
The DCTXP2/86 requires two AAA alkaline batteries for operation. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
- Obriu amb cura la casing de la unitat de sensors principal.
- Insert two AAA alkaline batteries into the designated battery compartment, observing the polarity markings (+/-).
- Tanca el casing de manera segura.
2. Mounting the Contact
The magnetic contact consists of two parts: the main sensor unit and the magnet. They should be mounted on the door/window frame and the moving part (door/window) respectively, ensuring they are aligned and in close proximity when the door/window is closed.
- Choose a mounting location where the sensor and magnet can be securely attached and are not easily accessible to intruders.
- Mount the larger sensor unit on the fixed frame of the door or window.
- Mount the smaller magnet on the moving part of the door or window, directly opposite the sensor unit.
- Ensure the gap between the sensor and the magnet is minimal (typically less than 1 cm) when the door/window is closed for reliable detection.
- Use screws or strong adhesive pads (not included) for secure mounting.
3. Programming/Pairing with Alarm System
The DCTXP2/86 needs to be programmed into your Paradox alarm system. Refer to your alarm system's main control panel manual for specific instructions on adding wireless zones. The DCTXP2/86 offers two independent radio channels that can be assigned to different zones.
- Access the programming mode of your Paradox alarm control panel.
- Select the option to add a new wireless zone or device.
- Activate the DCTXP2/86 (e.g., by opening and closing the contact, or by triggering the tamper switch) to transmit its unique serial number to the control panel.
- Assign the contact to the desired zone(s) and configure its attributes (e.g., entry/exit, perimeter, 24-hour).
- Test the communication and detection by opening and closing the protected door/window.
Instruccions de funcionament
Once properly installed and programmed, the Paradox DCTXP2/86 operates automatically. When the protected door or window is opened, the magnetic contact separates, triggering an alarm signal to the control panel. When the door or window is closed, the contact re-establishes, and the zone returns to a normal state.
- Detecció: The sensor detects the separation of the magnet from the main unit.
- Supervisió: The DCTXP2/86 is a supervised device, meaning it periodically communicates with the control panel to confirm its presence and operational status. If communication is lost, the control panel will indicate a fault.
- TampProtecció: Si el casing of the main sensor unit is opened, the integrated tamper switch will trigger an alarm, even if the system is disarmed.
- Entrada de sensor extern: The two independent radio channels allow for monitoring of the magnetic contact itself and an additional wired sensor connected to the DCTXP2/86's input terminals.
Manteniment
Canvi de bateria
The control panel will typically indicate a low battery condition for the DCTXP2/86. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection.
- Disarm your alarm system before replacing batteries to avoid false alarms.
- Obriu el casing de la unitat de sensors principal.
- Traieu les piles AAA velles.
- Insert new AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Tanca el casing securely. The tamper switch will activate briefly, and the device will re-establish communication with the control panel.
Neteja
Clean the device periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or internal components. Ensure the sensor and magnet surfaces are free from dirt or debris that could interfere with their operation.
