MAGNETIC CONTACTS
Sentrol has earned its leadership position in the manufacture of magnetic contact
sensors by pioneering advances such as the use of multiple reeds, “wide gapping”
and numerous features that reduce false alarms. We have developed a range of
innovative designs to assure both greater sensitivity and complete reliability, even
in the most demanding environments. With over 400 models to chose from, we
offer the most comprehensive line of magnetic contacts and peripherals available.
Built for durability and dependability, Sentrol magnetic contacts are conservatively
rated at 10,000,000 cycles, ensuring long life. Every reed connection is hand
soldered and the reeds in many models are environmentally sealed. Our magnetic
contacts are tested before they leave the factory — 100% of the time.
Our world class manufacturing standards and attention to detail virtually eliminate
all out-of-box failures. You can install Sentrol magnetic contacts quickly and with
every confidence in their reliability.
Many residential and commercial applications for magnetic contacts are similar.
Residential users, however, will typically be more concerned with appearance than
commercial users. Commercial considerations include specific issues such as how
to protect valuables in storefront windows or display cases, how to protect steel
doors and windows, and how to protect trucks at loading docks. Magnetic contacts
are particularly suited for use on a 24-hour loop to protect occupied areas.
