Sdc DPS-11 Ball Type Door Position Switch 6A Spdt

Product Description

The SDC Security Door Controls DPS-11 is a ball-type door position switch designed to detect the open or closed status of a door within access control and security systems. Rated at 6 amps with a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) configuration, this switch provides a reliable signal output to controllers, alarm panels, or monitoring equipment. The satin aluminum (628) finish integrates cleanly into commercial and light industrial door hardware installations. It is typically installed by access control technicians or licensed electricians working on low-voltage security systems.

The DPS-11 is suited for use in commercial access control applications where door position monitoring is required. The ball-type actuator mechanism operates when the door closes against the strike or frame, triggering the switch. This makes it appropriate for single doors, gates, or controlled entry points where status feedback is needed by a panel or controller. The unit ships individually and is intended for surface or frame-mounted installation depending on the door assembly configuration.

Key Features

• Ball-type actuator provides reliable momentary contact on door close
• SPDT output supports both normally open and normally closed wiring configurations
• 6A current rating suitable for low-voltage control circuit applications
• Satin aluminum (628) finish matches standard commercial door hardware
• Compact form factor for unobtrusive frame or surface mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style door position switch for use in commercial access control and security door monitoring systems where a ball-type SPDT switch is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or access control technician. Disconnect and de-energize the control panel or door controller before wiring. Mount the switch so the ball actuator makes consistent contact with the door or frame surface when the door is in the closed position. Follow NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines and the panel manufacturer's wiring diagram for proper SPDT terminal assignments.
