Securitron -u.s. MSS-1G Magnetic Surface Mount Switch

Product Description

The SECURITRON -U.S. MSS-1G is a high-security magnetic surface mount switch designed for door position monitoring in access control systems. It provides reliable open/closed status sensing by detecting the presence or absence of a magnetic field, giving control panels accurate door state feedback. The surface mount design simplifies installation on a wide range of door and frame configurations without requiring routed channels or concealed hardware. Security technicians and access control installers are the primary trades who work with this device.

The MSS-1G is suited for use in commercial and institutional access control applications where door position monitoring is required. It is commonly installed on hinged or sliding doors in conjunction with magnetic locks, electric strikes, and access control panels. The surface mount configuration makes it a practical choice for retrofit projects where concealed mounting is not feasible.

Key Features

• High-security magnetic switch design provides reliable door position sensing
• Surface mount configuration supports straightforward installation on most door and frame types
• Compatible with standard access control panel inputs for door status monitoring
• Compact form factor suitable for both new construction and retrofit installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install magnetic surface mount switch for commercial access control systems that accept standard door position switch inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed security or low-voltage electrical contractors. De-energize the access control panel and any associated locking hardware before beginning wiring work. Follow NEC Article 725 guidelines for low-voltage control wiring. Ensure the switch and magnet components are aligned within the manufacturer-specified gap tolerance for reliable operation.
