DS-PDMCK-EG2-WE(B) AX Pro Magnetic Contact — AX Pro Magnetic Contact (Shock & Tilt)
Overview:The DS-PDMCK-EG2-WE(B) AX Pro Wireless Door/Window Magnetic Contact combines traditional opening detection with integrated shock (vibration) and configurable tilt sensing. Designed for indoor intrusion protection of doors and windows, this compact surface-mount device adds layered detection and tamper protection while using Tri-X two-way RF at 868 MHz (WE/WE(B) regional variant). Its small footprint, long battery life and flexible configuration make it a strong option for both domestic and commercial installations.

Detailed specifications and benefits
The DS-PDMCK-EG2-WE(B) is engineered to deliver more than a simple open/closed signal. Below are the most relevant specifications grouped by function, followed by what they mean in practical use.
- Model: DS‑PDMCK‑EG2‑WE(B)
- Product type: Wireless magnetic contact with shock & tilt
- Detection methods: Opening (magnet), shock (vibration), tilt
- Detection gap: Up to 43 mm — suitable for most recessed or surface-mounted installations
- Shock sensitivity: 8 adjustable levels — tune to minimise false alarms while retaining detection capability
- Tilt detection: Configurable up to 25° — useful for windows or doors that may be tilted or jimmied
- Tamper: Front and rear tamper protection
- Intended use: Indoor doors & windows
Benefits: The tri-mode detection reduces false alarms by combining signals. For example, a brief vibration alone can be filtered if not accompanied by a contact or tilt event, while combined events can trigger a more certain alarm. Tamper protection at both front and rear improves security against attempts to remove or defeat the sensor.
- Protocol: Tri‑X two‑way RF with frequency hopping
- Frequency (WE): 868 MHz (WE/WE(B) variant for Europe)
- Transmission range: Up to 1.6 km in open space (real-world range will be lower indoors)
- Encryption: AES‑128
Benefits: Two‑way communication and frequency hopping improve reliability and resilience to interference. AES‑128 encryption protects signaling from casual eavesdropping or replay attacks, which is essential for monitored security systems. Always choose the regional variant approved for your country (this model is the 868 MHz WE(B) variant for Europe).
- Battery: CR123A ×1; nominal voltage 3 V
- Battery life: Up to 3 years typical standby
- Sensor size: Approx. 24 × 104 × 24.4 mm; Magnet size: Approx. 13 × 34.4 × 11.4 mm
- Weight: Approx. 60 g
Benefits: A single widely available CR123A battery is convenient to source and replace. The compact dimensions allow installation on most door and window frames without being visually intrusive. Expect multi-year service under normal use; however, environments with frequent events or reporting will reduce battery life.
- Operating temperature: −10 °C to 55 °C
- Operating humidity: 10–90% RH (non‑condensing)
- External inputs: Two wired inputs configurable as NC/NO/impulse count
- Enrolment: Power‑up, remote ID, QR code, AX Pro app
Benefits: The wired inputs offer flexibility — connect a secondary sensor, a reed on a different aperture, or a glass-break detector to augment protection without adding another wireless device. Remote enrolment and QR code methods speed up commissioning for installers and integrators.
Where this product excels — use cases and scenarios
The combined opening, shock and tilt detection of the AX Pro magnetic contact makes it particularly effective in scenarios where attackers might attempt more sophisticated entry methods than simply forcing a door or opening a window.
- The integrated shock sensor will detect forceful impacts and vibration attempts, while the tilt sensor can catch prying or lifting movements that might not immediately open the contact.
- Windows that tilt for ventilation can be monitored with the tilt detection configured to ignore normal tilt positions but raise an alarm when excessive tilt or movement is detected.
- Retail front windows and display cases benefit from vibration detection for smash-and-grab scenarios; the extra wired inputs allow connecting additional sensors for display areas.
- Surface‑mount design, long battery life and straightforward wireless enrolment make the device suitable for retrofitting into properties where running wires is difficult or costly.
In short, the device is best where layered detection increases confidence in alarm events and where installers need a compact, tamper-resistant sensor that integrates smoothly with AX Pro systems.
How it compares to alternatives
When evaluating the DS‑PDMCK‑EG2‑WE(B) against other options, consider three common categories: basic magnetic contacts, dedicated shock/vibration sensors, and competitive wireless hybrid sensors.
Simple reed contacts only detect open/close and are inexpensive. They are suitable for low-risk areas but cannot detect forced entry attempts that do not immediately open the contact. The AX Pro model adds shock and tilt detection, offering earlier and more reliable detection for forceful or subtle attack methods.
Dedicated vibration or acoustic sensors specialise in detecting glassbreak or impact but do not detect door/window openings. They are useful where glass is the primary risk. The AX Pro contact combines opening detection with vibration sensing, consolidating functionality into a single device and reducing the need for multiple sensors.
Many modern hybrid wireless sensors offer multiple detection modes. The DS‑PDMCK‑EG2‑WE(B) stands out for Tri‑X two‑way RF with frequency hopping and AES‑128 encryption, up to 1.6 km open‑space range (868 MHz), and two wired inputs for expansion. When selecting between brands, check encryption level, two‑way supervision, battery lifetime, tamper types, and commissioning options. For users in Europe, the WE(B) 868 MHz variant is appropriate — ensure regional regulatory compliance when comparing models from other markets.
Customer feedback and installer impressions
Official published customer reviews for this specific model may vary by vendor and region. Below are representative installer impressions and typical user comments based on the devices capabilities — these are illustrative of expected feedback rather than direct quotes from verified purchasers.
- "Easy enrolment via the AX Pro app sped up installation on multiple doors — the QR code method is particularly convenient for bulk installs."
- "Adjustable shock sensitivity is invaluable. On wooden frames near heavy traffic, we could tune it to avoid false alarms yet retain shock detection for real threats."
- "Compact and discreet; clients appreciate the small profile and long battery life. The dual wired inputs let us add a glass-break sensor without another RF device."
- "Two-way RF and regular supervision gave us confidence that the device stayed online during remote monitoring and testing."
Conclusion — why choose the DS-PDMCK-EG2-WE(B)
The DS-PDMCK-EG2-WE(B) AX Pro magnetic contact is a versatile, secure and installer-friendly sensor for indoor doors and windows. Its multi-mode detection (magnet, shock and tilt) offers layered protection that reduces false alarms while improving detection of forced-entry attempts. Two wired inputs and compact mechanical design increase flexibility for retrofit and new-build installations. Tri‑X two‑way RF with AES‑128 encryption and multiple enrolment methods ensure reliable integration with AX Pro systems, and the single CR123A battery keeps maintenance straightforward.
If you need more than a basic reed contact — particularly for ground-floor openings, tilt windows, or retail displays — this AX Pro model provides a strong combination of detection capability, security and ease of installation. Always ensure you select the correct regional wireless variant (868 MHz WE/WE(B) for Europe) and follow the product datasheet, user manual and local regulations when installing and configuring the system.
