From reading the user instructions I interperate the 24V/2A dry contact as a user controllable output and would not be triggered when the door station push button is used.

That might be if dry contact didn't mean something totally different. This Wikipedia response has it:

Dry contact may mean any of the following in electronics: No current: A dry contact is the synonym of volt free - it is not "wetted" by a voltage source. Dry contact can refer to a secondary set of contacts of a relay circuit which does not make or break the primary current being controlled by the relay.

A switch, connected to nothing, is a dry contact. No voltage. When you attach a couple of wires to it and mount it in a product so it can be pushed as a button, it's still a dry contact. The intent of this is to give you a place to connect two wires to make something happen. These two wires have to present a voltage to go through the dry contact.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
