Hikvision DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB-B AX PRO Slim Wireless Magnetic Contact with Tri-X Two-Way RF 1km Range & Tamper Protection

Product SKU: DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB-B

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB-B is an AX PRO slim wireless magnetic contact designed for discreet opening detection on compatible indoor doors and windows. Its low-profile construction measures only 10 mm deep, making it particularly suitable for applications where a conventional wireless magnetic detector would be too visually prominent. The detector provides a maximum magnetic detection gap of 52 mm and uses Hikvision Tri-X two-way RF communication at 433 MHz with AES-128 encryption, frequency hopping and a free-space transmission range of up to 1 km. Front and rear tamper protection help detect physical interference, while signal-strength and environment-temperature indicators support installation and system monitoring. Powered by a replaceable CR2450 battery with up to three years of standard standby life, it provides a compact perimeter-detection option for compatible AX PRO residential and commercial alarm systems.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Slim window frames: The 10 mm-deep sensor body is useful where a standard wireless magnetic contact would appear too bulky.
• Residential doors and windows: Provides discreet perimeter opening detection without running alarm cable back to the AX PRO hub.
• Offices and retail premises: Suitable for monitoring suitable indoor entrances, windows and restricted openings.
• Retrofit alarm systems: Battery operation and Tri-X communication simplify adding perimeter detection to finished buildings.
• Dark interior finishes: The black housing can provide a more discreet appearance on darker timber doors and window frames.

Why Choose the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB-B

The DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB-B is designed for AX PRO installations where visual discretion is as important as reliable perimeter detection. Its main sensor measures only 29 × 69 × 10 mm, allowing it to sit more neatly on suitable timber doors and window frames than many conventional wireless contacts. A generous 52 mm maximum detection gap, encrypted Tri-X communication, frequency hopping and front and rear tamper protection provide the core functionality required for professional alarm deployment. Signal-strength indication also helps installers validate the mounting position before commissioning. Available through Security Wholesalers, the black version is particularly useful for darker interiors where a standard white detector would be visually prominent.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) if: You need a very slim AX PRO magnetic contact with a 52 mm maximum gap, tamper protection and up to 1 km free-space Tri-X range.
• Choose the DS-PDMC-EG2-WB(B) if: You want a larger conventional magnetic contact with external wired-input capability.
• Choose the DS-PDMCK-EG2-WB(B) if: The protected opening also requires integrated shock and tilt detection in addition to magnetic contact sensing.
• Choose an outdoor-rated detector if: The device will be exposed to rain, weather or other external environmental conditions.

FAQs

1. What does the Hikvision DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) detect?
   The Hikvision DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) is a slim wireless opening detector for compatible AX PRO alarm systems. It monitors the relationship between the main sensor and magnet to detect when a protected door or window opens. Hikvision specifies a maximum detection gap of 52 mm, making it suitable for discreet indoor perimeter protection where a compact contact is preferred.
2. How far can the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) communicate wirelessly?
   Hikvision specifies a Tri-X wireless transmission range of up to 1 km in free space. The detector uses two-way 433 MHz RF communication with AES-128 encryption and frequency hopping. Real installation range can be lower because walls, reinforced concrete, metal structures and interference affect RF performance, so the signal-strength indicator should be checked at the intended mounting position before final commissioning.
3. What is the maximum magnetic detection gap?
   The DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) has a specified maximum detection gap of 52 mm. Practical make and break distances can vary with mounting orientation and surrounding materials. For reliable operation, align the main sensor and magnet correctly, keep within the supported spacing and test the complete opening and closing cycle after installation before the alarm point is commissioned.
4. Does the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) have tamper protection?
   Yes. Hikvision specifies both front and rear tamper protection. This allows the AX PRO system to detect attempts to open the detector housing or remove the unit from its installed position when tamper monitoring is correctly enabled. It adds an extra layer of supervision to a device that is normally mounted in an accessible position on a door or window frame.
5. What battery does the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) use?
   The detector uses one CR2450 3 V battery, with Hikvision specifying standard standby battery life of up to three years. Actual service life can vary with wireless conditions, alarm activity, temperature and battery quality. Battery condition should be checked through the AX PRO system as part of routine maintenance so replacement can be completed before the detector becomes unavailable.
6. Can the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) be installed on metal frames?
   Hikvision states that this detector supports wooden-structure installation and cannot be installed directly on a metal surface. Metal can affect both magnetic operation and wireless communication. If the intended door or window frame is metal, choose a suitable installation method or compatible detector designed for that mounting condition rather than assuming the slim contact can be fixed directly to the frame.
7. Is the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) suitable for outdoor use?
   No outdoor weather rating is specified for this model. Hikvision lists the application scenario as indoor use, with an operating temperature from -10°C to 55°C and operating humidity from 10% to 90%. For exposed doors, gates or windows, use a detector specifically designed and rated for outdoor environmental conditions rather than relying only on the indoor operating-temperature range.
8. Who should choose the Hikvision DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B)?
   Choose the DS-PDMCS-EG2-WB(B) when a compatible AX PRO installation needs a very slim wireless magnetic contact with encrypted Tri-X communication, front and rear tamper protection, a 52 mm maximum detection gap and up to 1 km free-space range. When planning the detector through Security Wholesalers, confirm the mounting surface is suitable and verify wireless signal strength before final commissioning.
