Magnetic Wireless Door/Window Contact Paradox DCTXP-2-BR, wireless reed sensor, MPN DCTXP-2-BR

Paradox DCTXP-2-BR is a wireless magnetic door and window contact (reed sensor) designed for reliable open/close state reporting to compatible Paradox alarm panels. The compact transmitter houses a magnet and reed switch in two parts for mounting on door or window frames and sashes. It is intended for perimeter security and intrusion detection in residential and commercial settings and supports straightforward wireless installation where wired contacts are impractical.

Advantages

The DCTXP-2-BR offers a compact form factor and simple two-part mounting that reduces installation time and visual impact. Being wireless, it eliminates the need for running cables and provides flexible positioning for doors and windows. The device transmits clear open/close signals to compatible Paradox systems, enabling seamless integration with alarm panels for event logging and alarm triggering. Its design focuses on discreet monitoring while remaining durable for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Monitoring exterior and interior doors in homes and businesses
• Window contact for ground-floor and accessible windows
• Perimeter zones where wireless sensors simplify installation
• Retrofit projects where avoiding cable runs is preferred

Key specifications

• Type: Wireless magnetic reed contact (two-part transmitter and magnet)
• Function: Transmits open/close state to compatible alarm panels
• Mounting: Surface mounting on frame and sash; compact two-piece design
• Application: Designed for door and window perimeter monitoring in residential and commercial use
• Compatibility: Intended for use with compatible Paradox wireless alarm systems

How to use

Install the transmitter body on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving door or window sash aligned according to the manufacturer’s spacing recommendations. Enroll the device into the compatible Paradox alarm panel following the panel’s wireless sensor enrollment procedure so the panel recognizes the transmitter’s ID and state changes. After successful enrollment, test the contact by opening and closing the door or window to verify the panel receives the correct open/closed signals and that zone supervision or tamper features (if available) are functioning as expected.

Usage recommendations

Position the sensor and magnet within the recommended gap to ensure reliable operation; avoid placing the transmitter near large metal objects or sources of electromagnetic interference. For exterior installations, ensure the mounting location provides protection from direct water exposure and extreme temperatures consistent with the overall system specifications. Periodically test the sensor through the alarm panel and follow the panel’s guidance for battery replacement or maintenance to maintain reliable perimeter detection.
