Products - Alarm system and its components
Your security system will include a number of detection devices such as reed switches, glassbreak detectors, smoke detectors, motion sensors, keypad/s, siren, and a control panel. These devices identify alarm conditions and report them to the control panel which will sound an alarm if triggered. The control panel is fully programmable and allows communication between you and your alarm system.
Reed switches
Reed switches are a small electromechanical device with 2 ferromagnetic reeds which are activated when pulled apart and deactivated when closed together. Reed switches should give you years of service if installed correctly. We secure all our switches in window or door frames so it cannot be knocked by opening or closing the door, or broken off by your intruders. The wiring is connected via a soldered joint and sealed with heat shrink for long lasting results.
