Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Smart Magnetic Door & Window Contact Sensor do?
A: This magnetic contact sensor monitors doors, windows, cabinets, and gates. When the two sensor halves are separated — meaning the door or window has been opened — the circuit state changes (NO or NC), triggering your connected alarm or alert system. It provides real-time awareness for homes, offices, shops, garages, and warehouses.
Q: What is the difference between NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) modes?
A: In Normally Open (NO) mode, the circuit remains open when the magnet is in contact and closes (completing the circuit/triggering an alert) when separated. In Normally Closed (NC) mode, the circuit is closed when the magnet is in contact and opens when separated. This dual-mode design ensures compatibility with most standard alarm control panels and security systems.
Q: What is the sensor made of and how big is it?
A: The sensor is constructed from durable plastic and measures approximately 5.5 × 1.4 cm (2.17 × 0.55 in), making it compact and easy to mount on virtually any door frame or window sill.
Q: Is this sensor easy to install?
A: Yes. Installation is straightforward — simply mount one half of the sensor on the door or window frame and the other on the moving part (door/window sash). Connect the wires to your alarm or access control system according to your panel's NO or NC input requirements. No specialist tools are needed.
