Kidde - Edwards 1045T-N Industrial Steel Door Switch

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 1045T-N is an industrial steel door switch designed for surface-contact detection applications in security and fire alarm systems. This unit monitors the open or closed status of doors and sends a signal to the connected control panel when the door position changes. Built with an industrial-grade steel housing, it is suited for demanding environments where durability and reliable contact operation are required. Licensed alarm and security technicians typically install this device as part of a supervised loop in commercial or light industrial facilities.

This switch is used in surface-mount applications where a recessed installation is not practical or permitted. It is appropriate for metal doors in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and other environments requiring door position monitoring. The terminal-style wiring connections allow for clean, secure wire termination during installation. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. Disconnect or de-energize the control panel loop before wiring or removing the switch. Secure the switch body to the door frame and the magnet to the door leaf so that proper alignment is maintained when the door is fully closed. Verify loop supervision continuity after installation before returning the system to normal operation.
