BEST DS880 630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST DS880 door position switch work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The DS880 is a wide stile kit, and the switch mounts inside the touchbar endcap of a wide stile exit device. On a narrow stile aluminum door the endcap geometry is different, so you need the narrow stile version of the door position switch instead of this one.
2) What voltage and current can the DS880 door position switch handle for my access control panel?
The DS880 magnetic reed switch is rated 1.5 Amps at 24VDC. That is a dry monitoring contact for feeding a door position input back to a panel, not a device for switching a lock or strike load. Size your wiring and panel input to that 24VDC, 1.5 Amp ceiling before you connect it.
3) How much gap can there be between the door and frame for a DS880 magnetic reed switch to read correctly?
Set the magnet and switch 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch apart. The switch goes in the touchbar endcap and the magnet in the frame, and both components are adjustable and can extend out from the device and the frame to hit that spacing around different strike types and templates. If your opening leaves more than 1/8 inch between the two halves once mounted, shim or extend the components rather than accepting the wider gap, because reed switches drop out as separation grows.
4) What does a DS880 door position switch actually tell my security system?
It reports whether the door is physically closed. The magnet in the frame holds the reed switch in the endcap closed while the door is shut; open the door and the contact changes state, which the access control or alarm panel reads as a door position signal for remote monitoring. It does not report whether the door is latched or locked, only closed versus open. If you need latch or request-to-exit status from the exit device, that is a separate switch option.
5) Can I add a DS880 door position switch to an exit device that is already installed?
Yes, the DS880 ships as a kit with the switch and the magnet, so it can be added to a wide stile touchbar device in the field. Plan for two things: the endcap has to be opened and wired, and you need a wire path from the door to the frame, so budget for a transfer hinge or door loop if none exists. Kill power before you open anything and test the position signal at the panel before you close it back up.
6) What finishes does the BEST DS880 door position switch kit come in?
Seven, and the point is matching the endcap on the device it goes into: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, 628 satin aluminum, and 630 satin stainless steel. On aluminum storefront 628 is the usual match, and 630 is the common pick where the rest of the openings are stainless.
7) Do I still need a separate surface mount door contact if I install a DS880?
No. The DS880 replaces the surface mounted contact on that opening, because the switch lives inside the touchbar endcap and the magnet sits in the frame. That keeps the hardware out of reach on a door where a surface contact would get knocked off or defeated, and it removes the exposed magnet from the top of the door.
