Installation Example
In a commercial security system, the Philmore 30-10072 can be installed to monitor entry points. The switch is mounted on the door frame, and the magnet is placed on the door. When the door is closed, the magnetic field ensures proper operation in either normally open or normally closed mode, depending on the application. As the door opens, the switch state changes, triggering the desired response in the connected system.
