RE201 Door/Window

Using the built-in reed switch with magnet:

  1. Equip Type - Contact
  2. Equip Code - Existing door/window
  3. Enter RF Serial # -
    Press Shift, Press Learn,
  4. Trip Zone
  5. (verify ID with ID on sensor)
  6. Equip Age - 0 (New)
  7. Loop – 2
  8. Reports - Enabled
  9. Supervision - Enabled

Using terminals “A” and “Gnd” for an external contact:

  1. Equip Type - Contact
  2. Equip Code - Existing door/window
  3. Enter RF Serial # -
    Press Shift, Press Learn,
  4. Trip Zone (or tamper)
  5. (verify ID with ID on sensor)
  6. Equip Age - 0 (New)
  7. Loop – 1
  8. Reports - Enabled
  9. Supervision - Enabled

Using terminals “B” and “Gnd” for an external contact:

  1. Equip Type - Contact
  2. Equip Code - Existing door/window
  3. Enter RF Serial # -
    Press Shift, Press Learn,
  4. Trip Zone (or tamper)

**Particularly handy sensor for garage overhead doors. Using two heavy duty wired contacts, you can monitor two doors independently with this one sensor acting as a transmitter.

Is it possible to use the RE201 with the internal reed + 1 external contact??

3

Yes, you can even use the RE201 with the internal reed switch and 2 external contacts since the RE201 has 2 wired sensor inputs. You can do the same thing with a 2GIG-DW10-345 using the internal reed switch and 1 external contact since it has 1 wired sensor input. Each sensor will report on a separate “loop” number.

To use the internal reed + the externals, what loop number would I set in the config?

In order to use multiple loops for a sensor, it must be programmed in as multiple zones. One zone would be Loop 2 (internal reed switch). You would then program a second zone with the same sensor as Loop 1 to use the A and Ground external terminals.
