Morris 70501 Magnetic Reed Switch, White

Product Overview

The Morris 70501 is a surface-mount magnetic reed switch in a white housing designed for use in security and alarm systems. It closes or opens its contact based on the proximity of a paired magnet, providing a simple method to detect when a door or window is opened.

Typical use is mounting the switch body to the fixed frame and the magnet to the moving sash or door so the magnet separates from the switch when the opening is actuated.

Key Features

• Magnetic reed contact for door and window sensing
• White surface-mount housing
• Designed for burglar-alarm and access-control applications
• Simple two-piece installation: switch body and mating magnet

How it works

The Morris 70501 is a magnetic reed switch: a sealed contact that changes state when a magnet is brought close or moved away. In a typical alarm circuit the switch is wired to report an open or closed condition when the magnet separates from the switch body.

• Operates by proximity between the switch body and a separate magnet
• Designed to trigger when a door or window opens and the magnet separates from the switch

Intended applications

This unit is intended for use in burglar-alarm and access-control systems as a door or window sensor. It provides a straightforward method to detect opening events for security monitoring.

• Residential and commercial door/window sensing
• Integration with alarm panels and access-control inputs

Mounting and alignment

Mount the switch body to the stationary frame and the magnet to the moving door or window. Align the magnet and switch so they are adjacent when the opening is closed and separate when the opening is actuated.

• Surface-mount installation
• Ensure consistent alignment so the magnet and switch separate reliably when opened
