Edwards 62 Magnetic Switch Normally Closed

Product Description

The EDWARDS 62 is a normally closed (N/C) magnetic switch designed for use in security, access control, and monitoring applications across commercial and residential installations. The switch uses magnetic field proximity to open a closed circuit when the associated magnet is moved away, triggering an alarm or control signal. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this device. Its compact form factor and simple two-part construction make it a reliable component in door, window, and panel monitoring systems where circuit-break detection is required.

The EDWARDS 62 magnetic switch is suited for door and window frame mounting in both residential and light commercial applications. It is commonly used in security alarm panels, access control systems, and HVAC or electrical panel door monitoring where a normally closed loop is required. The switch is surface-mounted and integrates easily into existing low-voltage wiring schemes. Installers working on new construction or retrofit projects will find this switch straightforward to incorporate into standard control wiring layouts.

Key Features

• Normally closed (N/C) contact configuration opens circuit on magnet separation
• Magnetic reed switch operation with no moving mechanical parts for long service life
• Compact two-part design: switch body and separate magnet actuator
• Compatible with standard low-voltage alarm and control circuits
• Surface-mount installation suitable for doors, windows, and enclosure panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for low-voltage normally closed magnetic switch applications in security, access control, and panel monitoring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage alarm technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for signaling circuits. De-energize the control panel or alarm circuit before making wiring connections to the switch. Mount the switch body and magnet on opposing surfaces so they align within the specified actuation gap. Do not force or bend the switch housing during mounting, as internal reed contacts may be damaged.
