BEA BEA-10SWITCH75 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hole do I drill for a BEA 10SWITCH75 recessed magnetic contact?
The switch body is 0.44 inch diameter and press-to-fit, so it goes into a bored hole in the frame and the mating magnet goes into the door edge opposite it. That small diameter is the reason to pick this one: it fits thin frames and narrow stiles where a larger recessed contact has nowhere to go. Mount it so the magnet lines up with the switch when the door is closed and stays inside the 0.5 inch sensing range.
2) Is the BEA 10SWITCH75 normally open or normally closed?
Both. It is an SPDT contact with NO and NC available, so you wire whichever leg your panel wants. Access control panels and alarm loops that supervise for a break use the NC side; equipment that needs a signal on door-open uses the NO side. Same switch either way, just a different pair of leads landed at the panel.
3) Recessed or surface mount magnetic contact for a commercial door, which should I use?
Recessed is the choice when you want the contact out of sight and out of reach. The 10SWITCH75 is a flush mount, press-to-fit unit at 0.44 inch diameter, which keeps the frame looking clean and gives nobody an exposed housing to pry or shim. The trade is that you have to bore both the frame and the door, and you need alignment tight enough to stay inside the 0.5 inch gap. On an existing opening where you can't drill, or where the door and frame don't line up well, BEA's 10SWITCH1084 is the surface mount unit with a terminal strip and a 2 inch gap, which forgives sloppier alignment and lands the field wiring at a screw terminal instead of flying leads.
4) Do I need a separate magnet with the BEA 10SWITCH75, or is it a single piece?
It's a two-piece contact. The switch mounts in the frame and a matching magnet mounts on the door, aligned so they face each other when the door closes. Plan both bores at the same time; the pair has to line up within the 0.5 inch sensing range or the contact won't reliably report closed.
5) Does the BEA 10SWITCH75 magnetic contact need its own power supply?
No. It's a passive magnetic reed contact, not a powered device. It simply opens or closes a circuit as the magnet moves in and out of range, so the panel, alarm loop, or controller it reports to supplies whatever the input needs. Wire it with a gauge appropriate for the run and land it on the NO or NC leg your panel expects.
6) Will the BEA 10SWITCH75 stand up to daily traffic in a hospital or school?
It's built as a commercial-grade device, and the contacts are plated specifically to resist sticking and freezing, which is the failure mode that makes an old contact report a door closed when it isn't. That plating is why it holds up on high-cycle openings in healthcare, education, retail and industrial facilities where the door position feed has to stay honest for the access control system.
7) Can the BEA 10SWITCH75 monitor a window as well as a door?
Yes, it monitors any opening where you can bore for the switch and mount the magnet within half an inch. BEA lists door and window monitoring for it, and the 0.44 inch body is small enough for thin window frames and narrow sashes that won't take a full size contact. The mounting rules are the same: switch in the fixed frame, magnet in the moving leaf, aligned face to face.
