Kidde Edwards 2707A-L High Security Surface Contact

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 2707A-L is a high-security anodized surface contact designed for use in access control and security alarm systems. Surface contacts serve as the sensing element at a door or window frame, detecting whether a protected opening is in a closed or compromised state and transmitting that status to the control panel. The anodized alloy construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding installations. This component is typically installed by licensed security and low-voltage alarm technicians working on commercial or high-security residential projects.

The 2707A-L surface contact is suited for installations where standard contacts are not adequate and a higher-security solution is required. It mounts directly to the surface of a door frame or window frame without requiring a mortise or recessed pocket, simplifying retrofit and new-construction installations. Its anodized finish makes it appropriate for applications where the contact will be exposed to humidity or environmental variation over the service life of the system.

Key Features

• High-security design provides enhanced tamper resistance over standard surface contacts
• Anodized alloy construction resists corrosion and wear in demanding environments
• Surface-mount installation suits both retrofit and new-construction applications
• Sold as an individual unit for precise replacement or single-point installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation surface contact for high-security access control and intrusion detection systems requiring surface-mounted door or window sensing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 731 guidelines for premises security systems. Disconnect power to the alarm control panel before wiring or replacing any contact device. Verify correct gap alignment between the magnet and contact body after mounting to ensure reliable operation. Do not over-tighten mounting fasteners, as this can stress the contact housing and affect performance.
