Kidde - Edwards 2515A-L Overhead Door Contact

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 2515A-L is a Maxi-Gap overhead door contact designed for use in security and alarm systems where standard door contacts cannot bridge wide mounting gaps. This type of magnetic contact relies on a wide-gap operating range to maintain reliable open and closed circuit detection even when door panels shift or flex during operation. Security technicians and alarm system installers work with this component as part of a monitored perimeter protection installation.

The 2515A-L is suited for overhead doors found in commercial and industrial settings, including roll-up doors, sectional doors, and warehouse entry points where alignment tolerances are wider than those found in standard residential door frames. Its Maxi-Gap design accommodates the larger separation distances typical of these door types, making it a practical choice for facilities that require consistent detection across high-traffic or heavy-duty door assemblies.

Key Features

• Wide-gap magnetic contact design accommodates larger separation distances common on overhead doors
• Intended for perimeter security and alarm monitoring applications
• Suitable for commercial and industrial overhead door installations
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for overhead door contact applications in commercial and industrial security alarm systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed security or low-voltage alarm technician. Before installation, de-energize the alarm panel and verify the circuit is isolated per local low-voltage wiring codes. Mount the contact and magnet halves on the door and frame according to the manufacturer-specified gap tolerance to ensure reliable actuation. Follow all applicable local and national electrical codes governing low-voltage security system wiring.
