Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
-
Is this switch "Normally Open" or "Normally Closed"?
-
Standard magnetic contacts are typically "Normally Closed" (NC) when the magnet is near the switch (door closed). Please verify your alarm panel requirements before installation.
-
-
Can I install this on a metal door?
-
While possible, mounting directly onto ferrous metal can interfere with the magnetic field. Using a small spacer is recommended for best results on steel frames.
-
-
How far apart can the magnet and switch be?
-
For reliable operation, the gap between the switch and the magnet should generally stay within 15mm to 20mm when the door is closed.
