Tane Alarm tane-pillslwh Pill Type Side Lead Contact White

Product Description

The TANE ALARM tane-pillslwh is a pill-type, side-lead magnetic door or window contact designed for security and access-control installations. The compact cylindrical form factor allows it to be recessed into door frames, window sashes, or cabinet edges where a low-profile sensor is required. The white finish blends with painted wood and trim surfaces common in residential and light-commercial applications. This package includes 10 contacts, making it suitable for multi-point installs or restocking field inventory. Alarm technicians and low-voltage security installers are the primary end users.

Pill-type contacts with side-lead terminations are commonly installed in recessed applications where the lead wire exits from the side of the contact body rather than the end, simplifying wire routing through tight cavities. Typical install locations include door jambs, sliding window frames, and cabinet doors in residential security systems, commercial intrusion detection panels, and access-control setups. The white color is the standard finish for interior trim and is compatible with most painted or primed surfaces in residential and light-commercial environments.

Key Features

• Pill-type cylindrical form factor designed for recessed mounting in door frames and window sashes
• Side-lead wire exit simplifies routing through tight frame cavities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for recessed pill-type contact applications in residential and light-commercial security and access-control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage alarm or security technicians in accordance with local codes and NFPA 731. Power down or disarm the security panel before wiring new contacts to avoid false alarms or panel faults. Use a drill bit sized to the contact body diameter for clean recessed mounting, and route the side lead wire carefully to avoid pinching in the frame. Do not over-bend the lead wire at the contact body exit point, as repeated flexing can fatigue the conductor.
