Wired Magnetic Door Sensor | Limit & Position Switch for Garage Doors

The GPS-30 is a hardwired door sensor for security systems. It's a heavy-duty magnetic sensor built for outdoor use on iron or rolling garage doors. The unit comes with a 5-meter long cable. This gives you plenty of length for installation without extra splicing. Features and Benefits - Surface-Mount Metal Housing - The strong housing mounts directly onto garage doors, gates, or commercial entryways. It handles more wear than plastic sensors. - Waterproof Construction - It's sealed against the elements. This makes it a dependable outdoor wired door sensor for monitoring sheds, gates, and garage doors. - NO/NC Output - It includes both Normally Open and Normally Closed wiring options. You can connect the wired door sensor to almost any security system panel. - Wide 50-70mm Actuation Gap - A powerful magnet allows for a generous gap between the sensor and magnet. This helps with doors that might not align perfectly. Applications - Garage Security - Mount it as a garage door sensor wired directly to your alarm panel. You'll get a consistent signal every time the rolling door is opened or closed. - Commercial Entryways - Use this wired magnetic contact sensor on metal-framed commercial doors or warehouse loading bays. A standard sensor wouldn't last there. - Outdoor Gates - Secure your property by installing this on an exterior gate. The long cable and waterproof design suit this kind of application. What It Is This is a wired magnetic proximity sensor specifically designed for outdoor use, particularly with garage doors. It functions as an open detector for rolling doors. The sensor uses a powerful NdFeB magnet. It comes with a 5-metre cable for installation flexibility. Its waterproof design ensures reliable operation in various outdoor conditions. Key Uses & Applications This sensor is primarily used to detect when a garage door or other rolling door is open. Proximity sensors work by sensing the presence of an object without physical contact. In this case, the magnetic sensor detects the proximity of the magnet. Common applications include: - Security systems for garages. - Automation systems that require knowledge of door status. - Industrial settings for monitoring rolling door positions. How to Choose When selecting a proximity sensor, consider the application and environment. This specific sensor is waterproof and designed for outdoor use, making it suitable for garages. Its 5-metre wired connection offers a good range for installation. Magnetic sensors are reliable for detecting metal objects or specific magnets. To test a proximity sensor, you would typically move the object it is designed to detect (in this case, the magnet) into and out of its sensing range and observe the output change. Ensure the cable length meets your installation needs.
