507-381BW
SPDT Reed Switch
  • Form C contacts (also known as SPDT).
  • Make gap: 5/8"
  • Break gap: 1 1/4"
  • Max 30VDC 30VAC .25A 3W
Most reed switches are "normally closed" (the switch is closed when the magnet is near the switch.) Most security systems are wired with normally closed reed switches. Normally open switches are a bit more complicated to make, are a bit more expensive, and are normally not used with security systems.

Normally open reed switches are useful for automation tasks. Connect the 507381BW to a 6330 PowerFlash controller and send a command to turn on a light when the garage door is open, or connect the 507381BW to home automation controllers such as ActiveHome or HomeVision.

Roller Plunger Contact
  • Benefits of both a plunger and ball contact
  • Works on all doors, including steel doors
  • Reduces installation time - drill only one hole
The Sentrol Roller Plunger contacts save installation time while providing reliable magnetic contact security. The contact switch is activated when the door opens, releasing the tension on the wheel plunger. Drill only one hole to mount the roller plungers; the entire magnetic contact is housed in a economical single unit. Recessed mounting hides the contact within the frame of the door it protects.
