RC-36 Wired Door Lock Magnetic Switch Alarm Sensor

The RC-36 Magnetic Door Lock Sensor is a professional-grade, normally open (NO) proximity switch designed for seamless integration with security alarm systems, access control panels, and home automation setups. This recessed-mount magnetic contact sensor provides accurate detection of door and window status, making it an essential component for residential and commercial security installations.

Key Features & Benefits

Normally Open (NO) Configuration In its default state, the circuit remains open when the door or window is open. When the door closes and brings the magnet within proximity, the circuit closes and allows current to flow, triggering your alarm system or access control device. This configuration is ideal for intrusion detection and security monitoring applications.

Recessed Mount Installation The RC-36 features a discreet recessed-mount design that installs flush with door frames and window casings, providing a clean, professional appearance. Unlike surface-mount sensors, this low-profile installation is less visible and more tamper-resistant.

High-Reliability Reed Switch Built with a long-life reed switch mechanism, this magnetic contact sensor delivers consistent performance over thousands of operations. The durable construction ensures years of reliable service in both residential and commercial environments.

Versatile Security Applications Perfect for integration with burglar alarm systems, intrusion detection panels, access control systems, smart home automation, and security monitoring devices. Compatible with most commercial and residential security systems.

Optimal Detection Range Features a maximum actuation distance of 10mm, providing reliable detection while maintaining proper alignment tolerance during installation. Works effectively with metal doors, wooden doors, windows, gates, and cabinets.

Easy Installation & Wiring Comes with 25cm pre-wired cables on each component for straightforward installation. Simply mount the sensor and magnet in aligned positions, connect to your security system, and you’re ready to go.

How It Works

The RC-36 consists of two components: a magnetic reed switch sensor and a permanent magnet. Install the sensor on the door frame and the magnet on the moving door. When the door is open, the circuit remains open (no current flows). When the door closes and the magnet comes within 10mm of the sensor, the internal reed switch activates, closing the circuit and sending a signal to your alarm or control system.

Installation Options

Recessed Mount Type: The RC-36 is designed for flush installation into drilled holes in door frames and doors, providing a clean, hidden appearance. Ideal for new installations or renovations where aesthetics matter.

Important Notes

⚠️ Safety Information:

• This sensor provides switch signals only and cannot directly handle power loads
• Do not connect lamps or high-power devices directly to the sensor
• Use appropriate relay modules for controlling powered devices
• Install according to your security system manufacturer’s specifications
