Overview

Product Summary

Five Years of Wireless Security. AES-128 Encrypted. 2km Range. Zero Wiring.

The door/window contact sensor is the most fundamental component of any intrusion alarm system — it detects when a protected opening is breached. The wireless variant eliminates the most time-consuming and disruptive part of alarm system installation: running concealed wiring through finished walls, door frames, and window reveals in occupied buildings. A wireless contact sensor is installed in minutes on any door or window frame using adhesive mounting or two screws — no drilling through walls, no chasing, no cable.

SSAL deploys wireless door and window contact sensors in new alarm system installations where a clean, rapid installation is required, and in upgrades to existing buildings where wiring new cable runs is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The 868MHz frequency band provides superior building penetration and lower interference compared to 433MHz, and the AES-128 encryption prevents the signal jamming and replay attacks that compromise lower-grade wireless systems.


Key Features

  • 868MHz European Frequency Band: 868MHz offers significantly better building material penetration and lower environmental radio interference than the congested 433MHz band used by lower-grade systems — critical for reliable communication through Bangladesh's concrete-frame commercial buildings
  • AES-128 Encryption: All communications between the sensor and the alarm panel hub are encrypted with AES-128 — prevents jamming (the sensor's encrypted signal cannot be replicated by a jamming device) and eavesdropping (the alarm state cannot be read by a third party with a radio receiver)
  • 5-Year Battery Life (2× CR123A): Industry-leading battery life eliminates the operational burden of frequent battery replacement in large-scale installations — at 20 door openings per day, the sensor battery lasts over 5 years before replacement is needed
  • Low Battery Warning: The sensor transmits a low-battery warning to the alarm panel hub well before the battery reaches the critical level — giving facility management weeks of advance notice before any service disruption
  • 2km Open-Air Range to Hub: 2,000m line-of-sight range provides comfortable margin for signal penetration through multiple walls and floors in typical commercial building deployments; actual range in multi-story concrete buildings is typically 300–600m, still sufficient for all but the most challenging installations
  • Front Cover + Wall Tamper Detection: Dedicated tamper detection triggers independently of the alarm zone — the alarm panel receives a tamper alarm if the sensor cover is opened (attempting to disable the magnet or battery) or if the sensor body is removed from the wall (anti-removal tamper)
  • 25mm Magnetic Gap Sensing: The sensor triggers an alarm when the gap between the sensor body and the magnet exceeds 25mm — corresponding to a door or window opening by approximately 10–15mm, well before a person could pass through the opening
  • IP54 Rated: Protected against dust and water splash — suitable for installation on external door frames, bathroom window frames, and other high-humidity locations in Bangladesh's climate
  • LED Status Indicator: Walking-test LED confirms sensor transmission on each door/window operation during commissioning — disables automatically when the system is fully armed to avoid revealing sensor locations to intruders
  • Compatible with Major Alarm Panels: Communicates with Ajax hub (native Ajax protocol), and connects to Bosch and Honeywell alarm panels via compatible wireless receiver modules
  • Surface and Concealed Magnet Options: Standard surface-mount magnet mounts externally; concealed magnet variant installs within a drilled recess in the door edge for invisible installation on high-specification doors

Typical Applications

  • Commercial Office After-Hours Protection: Wireless sensors on every office door and window provide complete after-hours intrusion detection without the disruption and cost of wiring cable runs through finished ceilings and partitions in occupied office buildings
  • Retail Store — Shop Front Windows: Large glass shop fronts in Dhaka's commercial districts are vulnerable entry points; wireless sensors install on each glass panel or frame without any wiring penetration of the display window structure
  • Bank Branch — Expanded Alarm Coverage: Extend the existing alarm system to additional doors and windows without rewiring — wireless sensors add coverage without disruption to the operating branch or the existing alarm infrastructure
  • Residential Apartment Security: Complete apartment security system installation in an afternoon; no drilling through walls or laying cables in rented apartments where tenants cannot make permanent modifications
  • Hotel Room — High-Security Floor: Per-room intrusion detection for VIP floors; wireless eliminates the cabling complexity of a room-by-room wired installation while maintaining full monitoring capability
  • Temporary & Event Security: Wireless sensors deploy and retrieve within hours at event venues, temporary security compounds, and construction site accommodation where permanent installation is inappropriate

Compatibility & Integration

Wireless door/window contact sensors integrate natively with Ajax Hub and Hub 2 systems — providing two-way encrypted communication with signal strength reporting and tamper status in the Ajax app. Bosch and Honeywell compatibility is achieved via RFID wireless receiver modules that present the wireless sensor signals as standard hardwired zone inputs to the alarm panel. SSAL selects the appropriate compatibility path based on the existing or specified alarm panel at each site.


SSAL Supply & Support

Smart Safety & Automations Ltd. designs wireless alarm systems with radio frequency site surveys where installation in dense concrete structures requires range verification. SSAL provides all wireless sensor programming, zone labelling, and panel configuration as part of alarm system commissioning. Annual Maintenance Contracts include battery voltage checks for all wireless devices, tamper function verification, and range confirmation testing for sensors at the extreme of the wireless coverage area.
