Magnasphere Corp HSS-L2D-008 Dual Contact Switch 820 Series

Product Description

The MAGNASPHERE CORP HSS-L2D-008 is a dual contact switch with tamper detection, designed for special application security and access control installations. It operates as part of the 820 Series product family, providing two independent contact circuits in a single housing along with a built-in tamper mechanism that signals if the switch assembly is disturbed or removed. Security installers and low-voltage electricians typically specify this type of device in alarm systems, access panels, and controlled entry points where both door or enclosure position sensing and tamper monitoring are required in one unit.

The HSS-L2D-008 is suited for special application contact installations where standard single-contact switches do not meet monitoring requirements. Typical deployment includes security panels, enclosure doors, and controlled access hardware in commercial and residential settings. The dual-contact configuration allows monitoring of both the secured element and the physical integrity of the switch mount simultaneously, reducing the need for separate tamper switch hardware.

Key Features

• Dual contact design provides two independent switching circuits in one unit
• Integrated tamper detection signals unauthorized removal or disturbance of the switch
• Part of the 820 Series platform for consistent system integration
• Special application contact category for installations requiring beyond-standard monitoring
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component within the MAGNASPHERE 820 Series special application contact lineup. Consult the 820 Series documentation for confirmed compatible hardware and mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage electricians or certified security technicians in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. De-energize the alarm or access control panel circuit before wiring or mounting the switch. Verify that both contact circuits and the tamper loop are terminated correctly per the panel manufacturer's wiring diagram. Do not defeat or leave the tamper circuit open after installation, as this will generate a continuous fault condition on most control panels.
