George Risk Industries VS-06 Window Vent Switch

Product Description

The George Risk Industries VS-06 is a window vent switch designed to monitor the open or closed position of window vents and similar building openings. It functions as a contact device that signals a change in state when the vent is moved, integrating with alarm, HVAC, or building automation systems to maintain zone control or security monitoring. The VS-06 measures 6 inches in length, making it suited for standard residential and light commercial window vent applications. Licensed security and HVAC technicians typically install this switch as part of a broader zone-sensing or ventilation-control system.

The VS-06 is used in residential and light commercial installations where window vents require position monitoring. Common applications include security alarm systems, building automation controls, and HVAC zoning setups where an open vent must be detected to modify system behavior. The switch is typically surface-mounted along the window frame or vent track and wired back to a control panel or low-voltage input zone.
