Magnetic Contacts
Magnetic contacts are a fundamental component of security systems, designed to detect the opening and closing of doors, windows, gates, and other entry points. They consist of two parts: a magnet and a reed switch. When the door or window is closed, the magnet is aligned with the reed switch, keeping the circuit open. If the door or window is opened, the magnet moves away from the reed switch, triggering a signal that activates the alarm system. This makes magnetic contacts an ideal solution for monitoring entrances in both residential and commercial properties.
These devices are available in wired or wireless configurations and are typically designed for easy installation on door frames, windows, or gates. They are made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or plastic, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh conditions. Many models are also IP-rated, offering dust and water resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Magnetic contacts are compatible with most alarm systems and can be configured for normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) circuits, depending on the security needs of the installation. With a typical operating voltage of 12V DC or 24V DC, these devices can be integrated into a wide range of systems to enhance security. Their compact design and reliable performance make them a staple in the protection of valuable assets, ensuring that any unauthorized entry is immediately detected and reported.
Ideal for residential security (homes, apartments, etc.) and commercial applications (offices, warehouses, and retail stores), magnetic contacts provide a simple, yet highly effective solution for protecting entrances from intrusion.
