Door/Window Sensor (DWS)
Installation Instructions
Sequel Technologies, LLC
General Description
The Wireless Door/Window Sensor (DWS) is a dual
input door/window sensor developed for use with the
ST security systems. The DWS can be tripped by using
either of the two built in reed switches and/or in con-
junction with a normally closed external contact. The
sensor achieves enhanced wireless reliability using
unique duplex narrow band frequency diversity, which
transmits and receives radio signals on two separate
frequencies.
Additional Information:
For UL installations, an external contact may not be
more than 3 feet from the transmitter.
A built-in cover tamper switch is activated when the
cover is removed.
The DWS is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery,
which can power the transmitter for up to 5 years.
Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed
code that distinguishes itself to the receiver.
Built-in reed switches will close if the magnet is
within 1/2” (12mm) of the sensor case.
The DWS is compatible with any N/C hardwired
external contact.

Installation
Select a sensor location. Avoid mounting the sensor
near the floor. For door mounts, mount the magnet
to the door and the sensor to the door frame.
Remove the sensor cover. Pull back on the plastic tab
to release the circuit board from the mounting base.
Remove the circuit board from the mounting base.
Mount the sensor base to the door or window frame.
Use included screws to affix the mounting base,
observing alignment marks shown in Fig 1.
If using external contacts, proceed to step 7.
Remove the magnet from its base by inserting a
small screw driver into the slot at the end of the
magnet cover. Push in and twist to remove the base.
Mount the magnet base within 1/2” of the sensor base.
(For external contacts only). Mount the external
contact as described in its instructions. For recessed
wiring, drill an access hole for the wire.
(For external contacts only). Connect two wires
from the normally closed external contact to the
terminal strip on the sensor’s circuit board.
Snap the sensor and magnet onto their mounting bases.
Note: It is undesirable to mount the sensor or magnet
on a metal surface. If mounting on metal is unavoid-
able, use spacers (available from Sequel Technologies)
to reduce transmission problems.

Programming
The following instructions provide a guideline for pro-
gramming the DWS into system memory.
To enroll a DWS into system memory:
Enter program mode (NEXT + NEXT + NEXT +
<Prog> + Installer PIN)
The keypad will display “Devices Available.” Select
<Learn>. The display shows “Auto Enroll On.”
To enroll the DWS, trip the sensor as follows:
Using magnet only: Close either reed switch
(restore the magnet) and remove the sensor cover.
Using external contacts only: Close the external
contact and leave the reed switch open (remove
the magnet). Remove the sensor cover.
Using magnet and external contacts: Close
both inputs (restore magnet & external contact).
Remove the sensor cover.
Upon enrollment, the keypad emits one beep and
the display shows the zone number and sensor ID.
Replace the sensor cover.
Continue enrolling additional sensors if desired.
When finished, press <Done> to exit.
The following default values are applied to DWS
transmitters as they are enrolled.
Initiating Group: Entry Delayed
Response Group: Intrusion Alarm
Note: These values can be modified at option “Zone
Config” in the “ST - Zones” system programming menu.
Testing
The system contains a walk test mode that allows you
to activate any zone/sensor and verify its correct opera-
tion without causing an alarm. An audible tone will
occur with each tested sensor in walk test, with a dis-
play to provide additional feedback.
To initiate a walk test:
Press NEXT + NEXT and the keypad will display
LOG TEST RESET.
Select <Test> and enter the installer or user PIN.
The display will show WALK COMM.
Select <Walk> and the keypad will display “Walk
Test Active.”
Trip each zone/sensor one at a time and the system
responds with a tone from the keypad.
As each tested sensor is added to a scrolling list of
tested sensors, the signal strength will be shown on
the LCD display as 1-10. A higher value indicates
a stronger signal level. A minimum level of five is
recommended.
Exit walk test mode by pressing <Done>.

Troubleshooting
Problem Action
The system
indicates a
sensor trouble
for a wireless
sensor.
A trouble is caused when the sensor
tamper switch is activated — i.e. the
sensor cover is off, not secured, or
the sensor is not mounted properly.
Secure the sensor cover and trip the
sensor to clear the trouble.
•
The panel does
not respond to
wireless sensors.
There are no
alarm, chime,
or walk test
responses.
Verify that the EXT is enrolled. This
can be done by checking option “EXT
Module” (60401) in the “ST - Modules”
menu in programming. If this option
is 0, the EXT is not recognized by the
system. Remove the EXT and see if a
trouble occurs. If not, replace the EXT.
Bring the wireless sensors closer to the
EXT and retest. If signals are properly
received, the issue may be related to
environmental noise or interference.
Distance from the receiver and/or
installation environment will affect
the sensor signal strength. Reposition
the sensor and/or EXT if necessary.
•
•
•
The system
indicates a
sensor low
baery.
Replace the sensor’s battery. Test the
sensor after replacing the battery. Testing
the device allows the system to receive a
signal with the new battery information.
•
The system
constantly
indicates that the
sensor is open.
If the magnet and external contact are
open during enrollment, the DWS will
monitor both inputs. Delete the sensor
and enroll it using the guidelines in the
Programming section.
