APRA Agent E dveřní kontaktní spínač 235-101-53

Securing doors and windows in alarm systems often means dealing with bulky sensors that are difficult to mount and prone to false alarms. The APRA Agent E 235-101-53 solves this with a discreet surface-mounted reed switch that delivers reliable open/close detection in a compact ABS housing. Its normally closed contact ensures immediate alarm triggering when the magnetic field is broken, while the integrated tamper contact guards against unauthorized bypass attempts. Ideal for indoor access control and intrusion detection, this switch operates silently and requires no maintenance.

Tips

For optimal reliability, mount the switch on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving part, ensuring the gap does not exceed 15 mm when closed. Test the tamper circuit after installation by briefly removing the cover. Use twisted-pair or shielded cable for runs longer than 10 meters to avoid interference. Pair with a control panel that supports NC zones and end-of-line resistors if required by your system.
