Wireless 2-Zone
Door Contact
Installation Manual
(V3.0/4.0)
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.
Compatibility
• MG5000, MG5050, MG6250
• EVO192 and EVOHD with a RTX3
• SP4000, SP5500, SP6000, SP65, and SP7000 with a RX1
Location and Mounting
There should be at least 30cm (1ft) between each transmitter and 1.5m
(5 ft) between the transmitters and the receiver. Please refer to the table
below for magnet distances depending on the surface of installation.
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.

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.

Confirmation
Press and

(e.g. 240 000)
The LED will flash

input
(e.g. 240 001)
The LED will flash
twice rapidly four
times.
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.
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.
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. A low battery signal will be sent for battery voltage below 2.3V.
