Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this reed switch suitable for timber doors and windows?
Yes. This concealed surface mount model is commonly used on timber door and window frames in residential and light commercial alarm installations. - Does this model use screw terminals or flying leads?
This version uses screw terminal connections, allowing cables to be secured neatly without soldering or crimp joins. - What is a common installation mistake to avoid?
Misalignment between the reed and magnet parts can reduce the effective operating gap. Ensure both parts are level and directly opposite each other before fixing permanently.
Additional Information
- Concealed fixing contacts are commonly specified where exposed screws and terminals are not desirable on visible frames.
- Screw terminals can simplify servicing because the device can be replaced without cutting and re-joining cable.
- If the door has larger clearances, consider a wide-gap surface mount reed switch rather than increasing the installed gap.
