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