DESCRIPTION
MC 255 is a versatile magnetic contact used in both alarm
and security access control systems for protection of doors,
gates and windows against unauthorised opening. The
magnetic contact is designed to be mounted in places with
limited space. The construction of the contact enables
rotation during mounting, thus protecting the cable from
mechanical stress. A wide range of accessories enables the
contact to be installed on a variety of surfaces, including
ferromagnetic materials.
MC 255 is certified according to EN 50131-2-6:2008.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
