George Risk Industries VS-06-B Window Vent Switch Brown

Product Description

The George Risk Industries VS-06-B is a window vent switch designed for special application contact circuits in residential and light commercial security and building automation systems. This single-pole, surface-mount style contact switch monitors the open or closed position of a window vent or similar hinged panel. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security technicians install this device as part of door and window contact circuits where standard contact hardware is not suited to the application. The brown finish integrates discreetly with window frames and trim to minimize visual impact on the installation.

The VS-06-B is intended for special application contact installations where a dedicated vent switch is required rather than a standard magnetic door or window contact. Typical install scenarios include casement windows, jalousie vents, awning windows, and other panel openings that require mechanical position sensing. The brown housing color makes it well suited for wood-frame or bronze-finish window installations common in residential construction.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for window vent and hinged-panel position sensing applications
• Brown finish for low-visibility integration with wood and bronze-tone window frames
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity control on small or large jobs
• Classified as a special application contact for non-standard install scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for special application window vent contact circuits in residential and light commercial security or building automation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines for signaling and communications circuits. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the contact terminals before beginning work. Follow the manufacturer data sheet for proper mounting orientation and terminal connection sequence to ensure reliable position detection.
