The Trackit Overhead
Door Metal-Latch Monitor Switch will work with any size latch. When
the latch is inserted into the switch the ferrous latch shunts the
magnetic field between the reed switch and the magnetic causing the
contact circuit to close. Retracting the latch restores the magnetic
field causing the circuit to open and indicates the latch is not in
the switch. Not all of the latch type monitors being offered in the
industry work reliably due to the different sizes of latches
provided by the door manufacturers. Trackit Metal-Latch Monitor will
work with any size ferrous latch-guaranteed. UL listed, constructed
of impact resistant, fire retardant plastic. Each contact comes
standard with 10 feet of jacketed cable, mounting bracket and two
screws. All Latch Switches are only intended for control function
monitoring only, such as metal latch detection for electric motor
control, NOT AS A SECURITY DEVICE. |

Disclaimer: ALL LATCH SWITCHES OFFERED IN THE INDUSTRY SHOULD NOT BE
USED AS PART OF A SECURITY SYSTEM TO SECURE A DOOR. All Latch type
switches do not work properly with a security system. When a latch
switch totally fails, it will not indicate to the alarm system of the
switch failure. If used as a security device on a roll-up door, the
alarm system will never alarm the door until the latch is inserted into
the switch. INSERTING A METAL OBJECT INTO THE OPENING FROM OUTSIDE THE
DOOR EASILY DEFEATS ALL LATCH SWITCHES.
