Tamper-Resistant Magnetic Contact Alarm Switches
Prevent unauthorized use of doors or windows with a combination of coded magnets and contacts that wire to an alarm system. The coded magnets mean they can’t be bypassed with regular magnets. These switches actuate when the magnet comes within sensing distance of the switch and reset when the magnet moves away. Mount the magnet to your door or window and the switch to the frame. Connect the switch contacts to an alarm system, which will trigger when the magnet is pulled away as your door or window is opened.
Flush-mount switches are designed to mount against the door jam. They have a cord grip to reduce strain on your cord.
Surface-mount switches mount on the surface of your door. Those with a 1/2 conduit connection are ready to directly attach to your conduit.
