Pella casement and awning windows may have two separate pieces of glass or one Thermopane. It is very important, therefore, to take extra care when drilling the mounting holes to avoid the glass.
Motorcycles, bikes, recreational vehicles, boats and other items can be protected with the Sentrol Magnapull. For commercial applications, pull armored switch lead through a row of items to be protected.
Steel or aluminum revolving doors can be secured in several ways, depending upon their material and the availability of mounting space.
Often the entry door from the garage to the house will be alarmed and the garage door will be left unsecured. An intruder can gain access to the garage door, enter the attic via the drop-down stairway, cut a hole through the ceiling between the joists, and drop into the house, all without triggering the alarm.
Protecting against unwanted intrusion through a hinged skylight using surface-mount magnetic contacts.
Entry via a roof hatch can be thwarted by using Sentrol surface mount switches. The switch used will depend upon the mounting method required by the space available and the connection into the alarm circuit.
Protecting sliding aluminum doors against unauthorized entry.
This page and the following two pages provide installation instructions for protecting sliding aluminum windows with recessed or surface mount Sentrol switches, or a combination of both.
Some steel doors are recessed at the top, creating a large gap which must be overcome when using a concealed magnetic contact. This page and the next two pages give three methods for solving this problem.
For steel doors with aluminum thresholds, it is sometimes convenient to mount the magnet in the bottom of the door and the switch in the hollow space beneath the threshold.
Securing Pella or sliding aluminum windows or doors which have thin window frames and limited space for mounting the switch. Sentrol’s 1145-W ultra- miniature surface-mount magnetic contact, with regular or wide gap operating distance, is ideal for this application.
Trucks and trailers can be secured with Sentrol’s MagnaPull at loading docks. Extend a Sentrol 2105A or 2115A standard Magnapull unit from the perimeter loop on each loading dock. There are two different mount methods.
Roll-up truck tailgates can be protected with magnetic contacts that have sufficient durability, gap and vibration resistance.
For wood doors with aluminum thresholds, it is sometimes convenient to mount the magnet in the bottom of the door and the switch in the hollow space beneath the threshold.
Wood and steel doors can be protected with roller plunger contacts that can be installed without removing the door from its hinges. The versatile Sentrol 3005 and 3008 Roller Plunger Contacts can also be used on windows and sliding patio doors.
Floating magnet-type mechanical switches can fail due to corrosion (unit is not hermetically sealed), uneven wear of the plastic body, or crushing of the unit between the door and frame. The use of a Sentrol switch is an attractive alternative.
Banks, jewelry stores, and other retail facilities with cash and valuables can be protected with a manually operated Interlogix switch. Sentrol’s 3040 and 3045 feature internal magnetic contacts and an actuating lever with a magnet cradled in it.
Banks, jewelry stores, homes, and other places where people and property are at risk can be protected with a manually operated, silent panic/emergency alarm switch. The Sentrol 3040, with its LED and latching circuit, is ideal for retail outlets and medical care facilities.
Installing a silent panic switch in a walk-in freezer to prevent accidental lockup or intentional imprisonment of a person inside a walk-in freezer. The Sentrol 3040CT, 3045CT, 3050CT and 3055CT have been specifically modified for low-temperature use in walk-in freezers.
When Interlogix magnetic reed switches are wired in line with relay devices with coils, the reverse voltage spike generated when current is removed from the relay can fuse the switch contacts together.
Venting sliding windows and doors using two magnets and one wide gap Sentrol switch. It is possible to obtain up to 5" (12.7 cm) ventilation with a 1-1/2" (3.81 cm) gap between the magnets and switch.
