Kidde - Edwards 2202A-L Surface Mount Door Contact

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 2202A-L is a miniature surface mount overhead door contact designed for use in access control and security alarm systems. This contact monitors the open or closed status of overhead doors and sends a signal to the connected control panel when the door position changes. It is compact in form factor, making it suitable for installations where space around the door frame or track is limited. Security and fire alarm technicians typically install this device as part of a monitored entry or perimeter detection circuit.

The 2202A-L is suited for commercial and light industrial applications where overhead doors require status monitoring. Typical installations include warehouses, loading docks, storage facilities, and service bays. The surface mount design allows direct attachment to door frames, tracks, or adjacent structural surfaces without requiring recessed hardware or specialized mounting hardware beyond standard fasteners.

Key Features

• Miniature form factor for installations with limited mounting space near overhead doors
• Surface mount design eliminates need for recessed installation
• Monitors open and closed door position for security and access control panels
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 where required. Disconnect and de-energize the control panel circuit before wiring the contact leads. Mount the contact body and magnet so they align correctly at the door closed position, verifying gap tolerance per the manufacturer product manual before finalizing the installation.
