Kidde - Edwards 3008-W Recessed Contact Cloud White

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 3008-W is a recessed contact designed for security and alarm system installations. Recessed contacts are magnetic door and window sensors that mount flush within the frame and door or window sash, keeping the detection hardware concealed from view. This unit ships in a Cloud White finish, allowing it to blend with standard white door and window frames. Security system installers and alarm technicians are the primary trade professionals who work with this type of component.

Recessed contacts are used in residential and light commercial security system applications. They are commonly installed in hinged doors, sliding doors, and window frames where a surface-mounted contact would be impractical or aesthetically unacceptable. The 3008-W is sold as a single unit and is suited for new construction and retrofit installations where a clean, low-profile appearance is required.

Key Features

• Recessed mount design keeps sensor hardware concealed within the door or window frame
• Cloud White finish suits standard white-painted frames and trim
• Single-unit packaging allows per-opening procurement
• Low-profile installation reduces risk of physical damage to the sensor

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed contact for use in residential and light commercial door and window security alarm system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed security system or alarm technicians. A drill and appropriate bit are required to bore the recessed cavity in the door frame and door edge or window frame. Verify the security system panel is powered down and disarmed before wiring the contact leads. Follow all applicable local building and electrical codes during installation.
