HOW IT WORKS: The BMS Reed Switch
BMS Reed vs. MAGNASPHERE HSSTHE REED SWITCH CONSISTS OF A PAIR OF FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC CONTACTS sealed in a fragile glass tube with inert gas. In the normal open position, the metal reed-like blades remain separated. But, when a magnet approaches from any direction globally around the switch, the contacts pull together and complete an electrical circuit. Once the magnetic field is removed, the contacts are able to separate, and the circuit is re-opened.
