Bosch RADION Wireless Surface Mount Contact Magnetic Reed Switch RFDW-SM
The Bosch RFDW-SM is a wireless surface-mount magnetic reed switch from the RADION range, used to monitor a door or window and trigger your Bosch alarm when it is opened. The transmitter mounts on the frame and the magnet on the moving door or window; when they separate by more than 20 mm it sends an alarm signal to a RADION receiver, which passes it to the control panel. It runs for up to 5 years on a single replaceable AAA lithium battery. A RADION receiver and compatible Bosch panel are required and sold separately.

§ 01Overview
What the RFDW-SM is
The Bosch RFDW-SM is a wireless door and window contact from the RADION range, the simplest way to tell a Bosch alarm that an entry point has been opened. The slim transmitter fixes to the door or window frame and a matching magnet fits to the moving part; when the two separate by more than 20 mm the contact sends a wireless alarm signal. A reed contact on each side of the transmitter means you can mount the magnet on whichever side suits the opening.
It is built to be reliable and low-maintenance. The transmitter is supervised for low battery, cover tamper and removal from the wall, so the panel is told if someone interferes with it or it loses power. It communicates on 433.42 MHz and runs for up to 5 years on a single AAA lithium battery that you can replace yourself, with a factory test mode on power-up to help installation.
Two honest notes before you buy. It is wireless but not standalone: it needs a Bosch RADION receiver such as the B810 or RFRC-STR2, connected to a compatible Bosch panel like the Solution 2000 or 3000, to do anything. And it is intended for indoor use, so mount it where it is protected from rain and extreme temperatures. It is genuine Bosch stock with local warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the RFDW-SM
Flexible mounting
A reed contact on both sides lets you fit the magnet on whichever side of the opening is convenient, with a 20 mm trigger gap.
Tamper and supervision built in
Cover and wall tamper switches plus low-battery supervision keep the panel informed if the contact is interfered with or running low.
Years between battery changes
Up to 5 years on a single user-replaceable AAA lithium cell keeps maintenance to a minimum.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Front and back doors
Monitor entry doors so the alarm trips the moment a door is opened while the system is armed.
Windows
Protect opening windows in bedrooms and living areas without running cable to each frame.
Retrofitting an existing alarm
Add wireless entry points to a Bosch Solution system that has a RADION receiver, with no wall damage.
Internal doors and cupboards
Watch an internal door, store room or cupboard where a wired contact would be hard to run.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One RFDW-SM transmitter with an AAA lithium battery and the matching magnet assembly. A RADION receiver and compatible Bosch panel are required and not included.
Installation requirements
Mount the transmitter on the fixed door or window frame and the magnet on the moving part, within 20 mm of the contact and on whichever side suits. Keep it indoors and away from weather, and avoid mounting on metal where possible as it can affect the signal. Enrol it to your RADION receiver, then test the open and tamper signals at the panel before arming.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add a RADION receiver (required)
The contact needs a receiver to talk to the panel — add a B810 RADION receiver or RFRC-STR2 receiver.
Build on a Solution panel
Pair it with a Bosch Solution 3000 control panel, or start from a ready-made Solution 3000 alarm kit.
Add more RADION devices
Cover rooms and entries with a RFDL-11 wireless PIR or a RFGB glass-break detector, and arm with an RFKF keyfob.
Add app control
Add phone arming and push notifications with the B426-M Ethernet module.
