Wireless Magnetic Door and Window Sensor for GUARDIAN-CONNECTION Alarm Systems

This magnetic door and window contact sensor is a wireless expansion module created specifically for use with GUARDIAN-CONNECTION alarm systems. It is designed to detect the opening of protected access points such as doors, windows, cupboards, drawers, and similar closures when the magnetic contact is separated.

If you want to extend the coverage of an existing GUARDIAN-CONNECTION installation, this sensor offers a practical and discreet way to add protection exactly where it is needed. Its compact format makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor access points, while its wireless design helps simplify installation.

Important: this product is not a standalone alarm. It is a slave module and must be paired with a compatible GUARDIAN-CONNECTION central unit to function.

Designed for Reliable Opening Detection

The sensor works by monitoring the magnetic field between the main sensor body and its magnetic contact. When a protected door or window is opened and the magnetic field is broken, the device sends an alarm event to the connected control panel.

This makes it a suitable solution for door and window intrusion detection in both residential and commercial settings. It can also be used on cabinets, drawers, and storage units where opening detection is required as part of a wider alarm setup.

For correct operation, the maximum gap between the sensor and magnet should not exceed 15 mm. Respecting this installation requirement is essential for accurate detection.

Exclusive Compatibility with GUARDIAN-CONNECTION

One of the most important points about this product is compatibility. This magnetic contact sensor is designed exclusively for integration with GUARDIAN-CONNECTION alarm control panels. It is not intended for independent use and should only be purchased if you already have, or plan to install, a compatible GUARDIAN-CONNECTION central unit.

This dedicated compatibility helps ensure straightforward pairing within the intended system environment. According to the product information, it offers easy pairing with all GUARDIAN-CONNECTION central alarm units, making it a convenient expansion accessory for users who want to add more monitored entry points.

Wireless Operation for Flexible Placement

Because this is a wireless add-on module, it can be installed without the constraints associated with wired sensor runs. That makes it especially useful when adding protection to existing doors and windows where running cables would be inconvenient or undesirable.

The stated transmission range is up to 30 metres in open space between the sensor and the central unit. This gives useful flexibility when planning sensor placement across rooms, entrances, windows, or internal storage areas. As with any wireless device, the quoted range applies to open-space conditions, so installation layout should always be considered carefully.

Compact and Discreet Design

This sensor is built with a compact, discreet design intended for easy installation on a variety of surfaces. Its low-profile format helps it blend more naturally into the installation area, whether mounted on a door frame, window frame, cupboard, drawer, or similar structure.

Discreet sensors are often preferred in both homes and professional spaces because they provide practical protection without drawing unnecessary attention. This model is specifically described as suitable for:

• Main entry doors and back doors

• Ground-floor windows or balcony-access windows

• Sliding doors and garage doors

• Cupboards, cabinets, and storage units

This versatility makes it a useful addition when you want to secure multiple types of openings within the same alarm ecosystem.

Battery Operation and Status Indicators

The sensor is powered by a CR2032 battery, which is not included. Under normal usage conditions, the stated battery autonomy is approximately 12 months. This low-power design helps reduce maintenance frequency while keeping the sensor ready for everyday monitoring.

To support easier day-to-day management, the device includes built-in LED indicators for:

• Arming status

• Battery level warning

These visual indicators are particularly useful because they allow you to quickly check the sensor's operating status and anticipate battery replacement when needed. For users managing several sensors across one property, this can make routine maintenance more straightforward.

Installation Notes

The product information states that installation is easy using adhesive or screws, although these are not included. This gives some flexibility depending on the mounting surface and the type of installation preferred.

For best results, careful alignment between the sensor and magnetic contact is essential. The specified maximum 15 mm gap should be respected to ensure reliable triggering when the protected opening is used.

Before installation, it is also important to confirm that the chosen location is within suitable wireless range of the GUARDIAN-CONNECTION central unit. The product is intended as an expansion accessory, so correct positioning within the wider alarm system is part of achieving dependable performance.

Suitable Applications

This magnetic contact sensor is intended for legitimate security and monitoring applications where opening detection is required. It can be used to strengthen perimeter awareness on commonly accessed points and to add monitoring to internal storage areas connected to the alarm system.

Doors

Ideal for front doors, rear doors, internal access doors, and other entry points where opening detection forms part of the alarm strategy.

Windows

Well suited to windows that may represent a vulnerable access route, including ground-floor windows and balcony-access windows.

Sliding and Garage Doors

The product information also identifies sliding doors and garage doors as suitable installation points, provided the installation respects the required magnetic gap and system compatibility.

Cabinets, Cupboards, and Drawers

Because of its compact design, the sensor can also be installed on storage units, cupboards, and drawers where monitored opening is useful within a residential or professional environment.

What Is Included

According to the supplied product information, the purchase includes:

• 1 x magnetic contact sensor

• 1-year product warranty

• Free international shipping

• Satisfaction guaranteed or money back

The user manual is provided in English.

Important Purchase Considerations

Before ordering, there are a few key points to keep in mind:

• This sensor cannot operate independently and requires a GUARDIAN-CONNECTION central unit.

• The CR2032 battery is not included.

• Adhesive or screws for installation are mentioned as installation options, but they are not included.

• The sensor and magnet must be installed with a maximum 15 mm gap for proper detection.

• The stated wireless range of up to 30 metres applies in open space.

These details are important for choosing the right accessory for your alarm setup and preparing for installation in advance.

A Practical Expansion Sensor for Existing GUARDIAN-CONNECTION Systems

For users of GUARDIAN-CONNECTION alarm systems, this wireless magnetic contact sensor is a straightforward way to extend protection to additional doors, windows, and storage access points. It combines real-time opening detection, wireless transmission, LED status indication, and a compact design in a dedicated add-on module built for the GUARDIAN-CONNECTION ecosystem.

If you need a compatible sensor to expand an existing installation rather than a standalone alarm device, this model offers a focused and practical solution based on the specifications provided.

Legal and Usage Notice

All alarm modules should be installed and used in compliance with applicable laws and building regulations. Users are responsible for ensuring proper and lawful installation in the intended environment.
