MSS-
300
Series, Recessed
and Surface-Mount Contacts
that offer two or three
separate contact outputs
– Ideal for installations where a
single contact is desired for use
with multiple independent systems
(e.g. IDS and ACS) and Home
Automation applications
MAGNASPHERE introduces the
NEW
MAGNASPHERE MSS-
300
Technology
In response to a request from the U.S. Department of State, MAGNASPHERE
has introduced both a 1” concealed and a Surface Mount version of
multiple switch contacts for non-high security installations. Each style
offers individual contacts made with Magnasphere BMS switch technology
in two and three contact configurations and both Open and Closed Loop
variations, depending on installation requirements. The MSS-300 Series
provides a single switch solution for monitoring multiple systems (Intrusion
Detection and Access Control) and for Home Automation applications.
Older style security contacts have been made with a decades-old
technology call the Reed switch, which have three inherent weaknesses
when used as security contacts. They are (1) Easily defeated with magnets
(2) Prone to permanent contact weld failure (lightning, power surges) and
(3) Fragile (made mostly of glass, they are subject to damage even when
packaged as security contacts).
The unique Magnasphere switch used in these devices renders the
MSS-300 series products
virtually unbreakable and highly resistant
Multiple (2 or 3) individual contact
outputs
Available in closed and open loop
configurations
Available in 1" diameter recessed, and
surface-mount, armored cable versions
Compatible with all control panels
American-made with patented
MAGNASPHERE switch technology
Resists permanent contact welding
(power surges, stun guns, lightning)
Highest level of security for every
installation
UL 634 listed
to permanent contact welding and outsider magnetic defeat.
