HIGH VOLTAGE: The MAGNASPHERE Sensor
Reed vs. MAGNASPHEREHIGH VOLTAGE DISCHARGES FROM LIGHTNING, power surges, or stun guns can permanently weld reed switch sensors in a failed-closed position, rendering a security system useless when it is armed. MAGNASPHERE switch components resist permanent contact welding and failure when exposed to high voltage discharges – virtually eliminating false contact closures. As a result, a security system will not need to be periodically checked for malfunctioning switches.
