§ 01Overview

What the DS-PDMCX-E-WB is

The Hikvision DS-PDMCX-E-WB is a large outdoor reed switch for AX PRO alarm systems, made to detect when a gate, roller door, garage door or shed is opened. Standard indoor contacts cannot handle weather, wide gaps or moving doors - this model is built for exactly those outdoor jobs.

Its IP66, UV-stable housing withstands dust and rain and runs from -20 to 60°C. A large external magnet and a detection gap of up to 76mm give the tolerance needed for gates that don't always close to the same spot or for wide roller and garage doors. Because it is wireless, you avoid running alarm cable out to the opening.

It links to the hub over Tri-X two-way wireless, rated up to 1km in open space, with AES-128 encryption and frequency hopping. One CR123A battery lasts up to five years, and front and rear tamper switches report tampering. A built-in alarm input (normally closed, normally open or impulse count) lets a nearby wired contact report through it. Note that the AX PRO system is not compatible with the older Axiom system, so pair it with an AX PRO hub.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDMCX-E-WB

Built for outdoors

An IP66, UV-stable housing and -20 to 60°C range suit gates, sheds and roller doors that indoor contacts cannot handle.

Wide 76mm gap

A large external magnet detects across up to 76mm, tolerating gates that don't close to the same spot.

No cabling outside

Wireless Tri-X linking up to 1km means no alarm cable run out to the gate or shed.

Five-year battery

One CR123A lasts up to five years, with tamper protection and a built-in wired input for flexibility.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Gates and side entries

Detect when a pedestrian or driveway gate is opened, day or night, in any weather.

Roller and garage doors

Monitor wide moving doors where a small indoor contact would not align reliably.

Sheds and outbuildings

Protect sheds, garages and equipment stores away from the house.

Commercial yards

Cover yard gates, service doors and storage cages on warehouse and workshop sites.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Mount sensor and magnet

Fix the sensor to the frame and the magnet to the moving leaf, keeping the closed gap within 76mm and aligned.

02

Allow for weather

Position it so water drains away and the housing is not submerged; the IP66 rating assumes correct mounting.

03

Pair to the hub

Power it up and enrol it to the AX PRO hub by power-up, remote ID or QR code in the Hik-Connect app.

04

Check signal and test

Confirm wireless signal strength at the location, then open and close the gate or door to test detection.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-PDMCX-E-WB

Q.01

Where is the DS-PDMCX-E-WB meant to be used?

Outdoors, on gates, roller doors, garage doors, sheds and other external openings. Its IP66 housing and large magnet handle weather and wider gaps that indoor contacts cannot.
Q.02

How big a gap can it detect across?

Up to 76mm between the sensor and the magnet, which gives the tolerance needed for gates that don't close to the same spot and for wide roller or garage doors.
Q.03

Is it weatherproof?

Yes, it is rated IP66 against dust and heavy rain with a UV-stable housing, and operates from -20 to 60°C, when mounted correctly.
Q.04

Which alarm system does it need?

A Hikvision AX PRO wireless hub such as the DS-PWA96-M-WB. The AX PRO system is not compatible with the older Axiom system.
Q.05

How far can it be from the hub?

Up to 1km in open space over Tri-X two-way wireless. Buildings and metal doors reduce that, so check the signal at the mounting point.
Q.06

How long does the battery last?

One CR123A lithium battery gives up to five years of standby life, with a low-battery warning sent to the hub.
Q.07

Can it connect a wired sensor?

Yes, it has an alarm input supporting normally-closed, normally-open or impulse-count contacts, so a nearby wired sensor can report through it.
Q.08

How is it different from an indoor contact?

Indoor contacts are small and not weatherproof. This one is larger, IP66 rated and has a wide gap, so it suits exposed outdoor doors and gates.

Sound the alarm

Add an outdoor siren so a forced gate or door is heard outside.
