George Risk Industries Inc. 199-12WG-BL Recessed Dpdt Contact

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 199-12WG-BL is a recessed double-pole double-throw (DPDT) magnetic contact finished in black. Recessed contacts are surface-concealed switching devices that mount flush within a door frame or wall cavity, activating when a corresponding magnet moves into or out of range. The DPDT switching configuration provides two independent sets of normally open and normally closed circuits in a single unit, giving installers flexibility for alarm, access control, or monitoring applications. The black finish blends with dark door frames and trim for a low-profile installation.

This recessed DPDT contact is suited for residential and light commercial security, access control, and building automation installations. It is typically installed in hinged doors, sliding doors, or window frames where a flush-mount appearance is required. The DPDT configuration makes it compatible with systems that require redundant switching circuits or simultaneous normally open and normally closed outputs from one contact point. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary trades installing this device.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 for low-voltage wiring. Power down or disable the alarm or access control panel before wiring the contact. Drill the recess cavity to the manufacturer-specified diameter and depth to ensure proper magnet alignment and reliable switching. Verify pole wiring assignments against the panel or controller documentation before final commissioning.
