George Risk Industries 1100A-12WG-W Surface Contact Switch Set

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 1100A-12WG-W is a surface contact switch set designed for use in security and access-control applications. Surface contact switches are mounted directly to door or window frames and actuate when the contact points separate, signaling an open or closed state to a control panel. This set ships as a single unit and is installed by security technicians and licensed electricians working on low-voltage alarm and detection circuits. The white finish allows the hardware to blend with standard residential and light commercial trim.

Surface contact switch sets in the 1100A-12WG-W configuration are suited for residential and light commercial door and window installations where a discrete, surface-mounted sensor is required. The 12-lead designation indicates the unit comes with lead wires pre-attached, reducing field termination time during rough-in or retrofit work. White housing color coordinates with painted wood, vinyl, and aluminum frame surfaces commonly found in residential construction.

Key Features

• Surface-mount design installs directly to door or window frame without recessing
• Pre-attached 12 leads reduce field wiring time at termination
• White finish for low-visibility blending on light-colored frames
• Single-unit packaging supports per-opening installation planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface contact switch set for residential and light commercial door and window security circuits requiring a surface-mount, pre-leaded sensor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage security technicians in accordance with NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. De-energize the control panel circuit before making wire connections. Ensure the switch and magnet halves are aligned within the manufacturer-specified gap tolerance to guarantee reliable actuation. Secure the housing with fasteners appropriate to the frame material to prevent movement that could cause false triggers.
