Tamper-Resistant Design

The RCI 9530 features advanced magnetic tamper protection through its dual reed switch configuration. When properly balanced, the magnetic tamper switch maintains an opposite state to the primary switch. Any attempt to defeat the system through magnetic field shunting or external magnet application will cause the tamper switch to change state, providing immediate security alert capability for comprehensive door position monitoring.
