Overhead Door Contact UL

Overhead Door Contact UL is an overhead door contact from our series of commercial contacts. Also, just like other commercial contacts we carry, the Overhead Door Contact UL can withstand power surges up to 2400VDC. As the Overhead Door Contact UL is a commercial contact. You will install the device in areas that are more prone to lightning strikes or power surges. If the contact did not have the  surge protection, a nearby lightning strike could easily fuse the internal contact of the device.

This makes it so that when the magnet is moved away from the contact, an alarm is not activated. This can be a serious problem because you may not realize your contact absorbed a lightning strike. Therefore your garage or warehouse will be unprotected. Assuming your property is protected when it isn’t, is worse than not protecting your property at all. If you use a contact like the Overhead Door Contact UL , you never have to wonder if your property is truly protected.

Overhead Door Contact UL overhead door contact includes an adjustable magnet mounted on an L bracket and a reed switch contact. The L bracket should be mounted in the bottom corner of your overhead door. The contact should be mounted on the floor of your garage or warehouse. This has a wide gap of 2”, you must ensure that when the overhead door is closed that the contact and magnet are within 2” of each other. As soon as the magnet is moved further away than 2” from the contact, an alarm is activated.

This Contact has soft cured epoxy that protects the internal contact from moisture or corrosion. The epoxy seal also protects the Door Contact from damage from impact as well. The contact also has 24” terminals leads which are encased in an armored cable to protect the wiring. As garages and warehouse have lots of traffic and are filled with sharp things, it is important that the wire connections are protected from someone inadvertently cutting the wires. The overhead door contact itself has a rating of 100mA at 28VDC and uses a Form A, SPST, normally closed internal reed switch. This Door Contact can also withstand temperatures between -40° F and 194° F so that it will work in the harshest of environments.
