    These switches actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. They’re often used to detect when a door or window opens. Mount the switch in a stationary position, such as a door frame, and mount the magnet to a movable object, such as the door. They do not include a safety relay and cannot be used with safety-guard doors found on machinery.
    NEMA 4X Enclosure Rating—NEMA 4X rated switches are protected from corrosion and washdowns.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion, as well as dust and dirt.
