What is a Sentrol door contact?

What is a Sentrol door contact?

The GE Interlogix 1078 Series Steel Door contacts are designed specifically for use in the steel doors commonly found in commercial building applications. The unique housing design features a rugged unibody construction with flexible ribbed sides for quick, secure installation without gluing.

What is a balanced magnetic contact?

The 9530 balanced magnetic contact/door position switch is a surface-mount switch and magnet set. The RCI 9530 is configured as a SPDT switch with magnetic tamper. The end-of-line resistors may be used to allow a predetermined trickle of current to flow and permit operation from a supervised line at all times.

What are magnetic contacts used for?

A magnetic contact is a door and window sensor that functions using an internal reed switch in conjunction with a magnet. This is the most common way for a door and window sensor to operate. These devices are known for being particularly easy to use and enroll with security systems.

What does a door position switch do?

Resolution: A Door Position Switch is a switch and magnet mounted on the door and frame that monitors the door status. If door is held open beyond rearm time or if door is forced open, alarm will sound in the Chexit device.

How does a balanced magnetic switch work?

A balanced magnetic switch consists of a switch mounted to a door (or window) frame and a magnet mounted to a moveable door or window. When the door is closed, the magnet holds the switch closed to complete an electrical circuit. An alarm is triggered when the door is opened and the circuit is interrupted.

What sensors can detect movement?

What are the types of motion sensors?

• Passive infrared sensor.
• Microwave sensor.
• Dual technology motion sensor.
• Area reflective sensor.
• Ultrasonic sensor.
• Vibration motion sensor.
• Contact sensor.
• Video motion sensor.

How does a magnetic on off switch work?

The switching mechanism is comprised of two ferromagnetic blades, separated by only a few microns. When a magnet approaches these blades, the two blades pull toward one another. Once touching, the blades close the normally open (NO) contacts, allowing electricity to flow.

How do I install Honeywell 951WG WH stubby recessed magnetic contact switch?

Complete the following steps to install a Honeywell 951WG recessed contact into a door:

1. Drill the holes. Drill a 3/8 inch hole into the door frame, along with a matching hole into the door itself.
2. Wire to the panel.
3. Run the wire.
4. Complete the install.

What is magnetic door sensor?

Magnetic door sensors are commonly used in alarm systems to trigger the opening and closing of doors and windows. It consists of two parts encased in a plastic shell — a magnet and a sensor/switch. In combination, it basically works by opening/closing a reed switch by using the magnet’s magnetic field.
