Tane Alarm tane-3/4btc Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The TANE ALARM tane-3/4btc is a recessed magnetic door contact designed for use in hardwired security and alarm systems. It features a quick-connect terminal for faster field wiring, reducing installation time compared to traditional solder or screw-terminal contacts. The recessed form factor allows the contact to be mounted flush within a door frame or door edge, keeping the hardware concealed from view. Licensed alarm installers and low-voltage security technicians are the primary trade for this component.

The tane-3/4btc is suited for residential and light commercial door monitoring applications where a clean, concealed installation is required. The recessed design works with standard door frame routing, making it a common choice on entry doors, interior access points, and perimeter doors in hardwired alarm panel systems. It is installed during rough-in or retrofit work where surface-mounted contacts are not preferred.

Key Features

• Recessed mounting style keeps contact hardware concealed within the door or frame
• Quick-connect terminal speeds up field wiring connections
• Magnetic reed switch operation — no physical contact required between door and frame halves
• Designed for hardwired alarm and access control panel integration
• Low-profile installation suitable for residential and light commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed door contact for use with hardwired security alarm panels requiring a standard normally-closed or normally-open magnetic contact input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage alarm technician. Power down or disarm the alarm panel before wiring the contact leads to the zone input terminals. A drill and appropriate bit are required to bore the recessed cavity in the door edge and frame. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the alarm panel manufacturer's wiring specifications for zone loop configuration.
