Installation instructions:Magalign’s patented magnetic assembly works with all manufacturers’ single reed switches. It allows for 6 inches of lateral movement of a window or door without releasing control of the contact. As with all reed switch alignments, with the magnets’ polarities are critical to the stability of the protective circuit. So the understanding of the best installation practices should be followed. Here are some installation practices that are recommended:
Of course you can use the opposite side of the magnet as well. It doesn’t matter if you use the North
or South poles. What is important, is that you address the magnetic field to only one side of the
switch. When both sides of the reeds are influenced by the same magnetic pole, there is no stability in biasing the contact. So these examples below, show
how
NOT
to align the magnetic assembly and the reed switch
.
If you are retro-fitting Magalign magnets to existing contacts that are
parallel to the original magnet,
you need to kick out one end of the contact by about 20 degrees.
By kicking out the one end, this allows the magnetic control to be focused to one side of reed switch.
As with all magnetic reed switches careful placement needs to be assessed on the location so not to compromise the security of the protected alarm point. A concealed inaccessible out of sight approach should always be considered first. If locations of the Magalign’s magnetic assemble is in question contact your local licensed security professional for the proper secured location.
