Hes KS-DPS Surface Mount Door Position Sensor

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS / HES KS-DPS is a surface mount door position sensor designed for use in access control and electronic door hardware systems. Door position sensors detect the open or closed state of a door and relay that status to an access control panel or alarm system. The KS-DPS mounts directly to the door surface and frame without requiring mortising or routing, simplifying installation on hollow metal, aluminum, and wood door assemblies. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths, low-voltage technicians, and access control integrators.

The KS-DPS is suited for commercial and light industrial door openings where continuous door monitoring is required. It integrates with access control panels to provide real-time door status feedback, supporting door-held-open alarms and forced-entry detection. Surface mount installation makes it appropriate for retrofit projects where existing door assemblies cannot be easily modified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified low-voltage access control technician. Disconnect or de-energize the access control panel and any electric door hardware before beginning installation. Secure the sensor body to the door face and the magnet to the corresponding frame or door stop per the manufacturer mounting instructions, ensuring proper alignment for reliable switching. Follow applicable local codes and NFPA 731 guidelines for access control system wiring and installation.
