Kidde Edwards 2317A-L Panel Overhead Door Contact

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 2317A-L is a panel overhead door contact designed for use in commercial and industrial fire alarm and security systems. This surface-mount contact monitors the open and closed position of overhead doors and reports door status back to a connected control panel. Installers rely on this type of device to maintain zone integrity where large bay doors or roll-up doors are present. It is part of the 2300 Series contact line and is sold as a single unit. Licensed alarm technicians and security integrators are the typical installers for this device.

The 2317A-L is suited for overhead door applications in commercial occupancies such as warehouses, loading docks, fire stations, and industrial facilities. It is designed to interface with compatible fire alarm or access control panels where door position monitoring is required by code or system design. This contact is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit projects where reliable door status sensing is needed on large overhead or panel-style doors.
