Safety Technology Int'l Inc KIT-E18151 Reed Switch Magnet Kit

Product Description

The SAFETY TECHNOLOGY INT'L INC KIT-E18151 is a normally closed reed switch and magnet kit used in surface-contact security and access control applications. The kit includes the reed switch and a paired magnet, designed to work together as a door or window contact sensor. When the magnet moves away from the switch, the circuit opens and triggers the connected alarm or monitoring system. Installation is straightforward and suits low-voltage wiring common in commercial and residential security systems.

This kit fits surface-mount installations on doors, windows, and access panels where recessed mounting is not practical. It is typically installed by alarm technicians, low-voltage contractors, and electricians working on security, access control, or building automation projects. The normally closed configuration is the standard for most hardwired alarm panel zones.

Key Features

• Normally closed configuration for standard hardwired alarm zone wiring
• Includes both the reed switch and paired magnet in one kit
• Surface-mount design for doors, windows, and access panels
• Sold as individual kit unit for single-point installation

Compatibility

Designed as a surface-contact reed switch and magnet replacement or new-install kit compatible with standard hardwired low-voltage alarm and access control panel zones.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes. Power down or disarm the alarm panel before wiring the switch leads to avoid false triggers or panel faults. Secure the magnet to the moving surface and the switch to the fixed frame, aligning both components within the specified activation gap. Avoid mounting on surfaces with strong magnetic interference that could affect switch operation.
