DCT10-EI08 10/2015 DCT10 V3.0 PARADOX.COM
DCT10: 2-Zone Long-Range Door Contact V3.0
Description
T
he DCT10 supports two inputs simultaneously (reed switch and
universal transmitter input*).
T
he DCT10 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.
Features
• 2-zone capabilities where each zone is independent and has its own
serial number: Zone 1 - one of two high-sensitivity reed switches
(magnet included), Zone 2 - universal transmitter input*(N.O./N.C.)
• Wireless range in a typical residential environment: 70m (230ft) with
MG5000, MG5050 and RTX3
• Low battery and signal transmission LED (Optional for EN 50131
Grade 2)
• Available in 433MHz or 868MHz
• Dual anti-tamper switch
• Dimensions: 12.4cm x 4.5cm x 3.3cm (4.9in x 1.8in x 1.3in)
Location & Mounting
T
here should be at least 30cm (1ft) between each transmitter and
1.5m (5ft) between the transmitters and the receiver. The
transmitter comes with two reed switches allowing you to place
the transmitter either vertically or horizontally. Simply place the
magnet in line with the reed switch you wish to use.
DCT10 Overview
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.
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.
Input Serial Number Visual Confirmation
Input 1 (reed switch): Press the
anti-tamper switch once.
SN
(e.g. 240 000)
The LED will flash once
four times.
Input 2 (universal input): Press the
anti-tamper switch twice within one
second.
SN+1
(e.g. 240 001)
The LED will flash twice
rapidly four times.
Jumpers Magellan Receiver

ARNINGS:
• Do not connect an EOL resistor to the universal transmitter input.
• Do not cut, bend or alter the antenna. Avoid mounting the door contact near or on metal as this may affect transmission.
• After changing the jumper settings, press and hold the anti-tamper switch for two seconds in order to save the changes.
* Note: Cables connected to the Universal input must be less than 3m long.

Dual Anti-Tamper
The DCT10 offers dual anti-tamper protection against the opening of the unit’s cover or the removal of the unit from the mounting location.
Secure the anti-tamper pin to the wall using the supplied screw. In the case where the unit is forcibly removed, the anti-tamper pin breaks away
from the rest of the unit, triggering a tamper alarm. If the unit is installed on a drywall surface, use a drywall anchor to secure the anti-tamper pin.
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.
Low Battery
The DCT10 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 DCT10 will transmit a low battery signal (Optional for EN 50131 Grade 2).
Battery Replacement
To replace batteries:
1) Replace the old batteries with new ones.
2) Press and release the anti-tamper switch several times.
3) Wait 60 seconds to re-initialize the unit.
