George Risk Industries 8080RS-T-B Recessed Contact Switch

Product Description

The George Risk Industries Inc. 8080RS-T-B is a recessed stubby contact switch designed for door and window security and access control applications. At 3/4 inch in depth, the stubby form factor allows installation in tight frames and narrow door stiles where standard-depth recessed contacts will not fit. The unit includes integrated terminals for direct wire termination, eliminating the need for separate terminal blocks at the switch location. This type of magnetic contact switch is typically installed by alarm and low-voltage technicians during new construction or retrofit security system work.

The 8080RS-T-B is suited for residential and light commercial security installations where a flush, low-profile contact is required. The recessed mounting style conceals the switch body within the door frame or jamb, leaving only the face visible when closed. The included terminals simplify field wiring and reduce installation time. This switch is appropriate for use in perimeter protection zones on hinged doors and similar entry points monitored by a security control panel.

Key Features

• Stubby 3/4 inch recessed depth for installation in narrow frames and tight spaces
• Integrated terminals for direct field wiring without additional terminal hardware
• Flush recessed mount conceals switch body within the door frame or jamb

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed contact switch for residential and light commercial door and window security applications. Consult system documentation to confirm bore size and magnetic gap requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician. Disconnect or disarm the security control panel before wiring the switch to prevent false alarms or panel faults. A drill press or sharp spade bit is recommended to achieve a clean, properly sized bore hole for recessed mounting. Verify that the mounting depth and bore diameter of the installation surface are compatible with the stubby form factor before drilling.
