Detex MS-1039S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Detex MS-1000S magnetic switch actually do on a door?
The MS-1000S is a two-piece magnetic contact that reports whether an opening is closed or open. The switch body mounts on the frame and the magnet mounts on the door, so when the door swings away the magnetic field breaks and the contact changes state. That status goes back to a security system or access control panel as door position monitoring. It does not lock, latch, or release anything, it only reports position.
2) Do I have to drill the door and frame to install the MS-1000S, or does it mount on the surface?
No mortising or concealed prep. The MS-1000S is the surface mounted version, so the switch fastens to the face of the frame and the magnet to the door with the two aligned and gapped per the maker's spacing. If your spec calls for a contact hidden inside the door edge and frame, this is the wrong style of switch, you want a recessed or concealed contact instead.
3) Is the Detex MS-1000S rated for commercial use or is it a residential contact?
Commercial. Detex builds the MS-1000 Series for commercial security installs, and it is used on building perimeter doors, retail, healthcare, schools, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant residential common areas. It is an electronic device, so it has to be wired back to a panel and is not a standalone alarm.
4) Do I need anything besides the MS-1000S switch to monitor a door?
The contact only makes a signal, something has to read it. Plan on a security panel, access control panel, or zone/monitoring board to take the contact input, plus low voltage wire run from the frame back to that panel, and connectors sized for that wire. Verify the switch matches the panel's input before you pull wire, and cut power to the panel while you land the connections.
5) What colors does the Detex MS-1000S surface magnetic switch come in?
Two, white and brown. Since a surface contact sits out in view on the frame and door face, pick the one closer to your frame color. Property managers standardizing a building usually run all white on painted hollow metal and aluminum, brown on darker anodized or wood frames.
6) Can I use a surface mounted magnetic contact like the MS-1000S on a window, or is it doors only?
Windows are fair game. The MS-1000S is specified for door and window monitoring, and because it mounts to the surface rather than into the material, it works on sash and frame where you could never machine a concealed contact. Same rule applies as on a door, switch on the fixed side, magnet on the moving side, aligned within the manufacturer's gap.
