Product Description
Detex MS-2049S Heavy Duty Magnetic Switch - Surface Mount
Same heavy-duty Form C contacts as the MS-2049F, but surface mounted for easier installation and retrofit applications. The Detex MS-2049S mounts directly to the frame surface—no mortising required. UL listed fire door accessory for rated assemblies.
Why You Need It:
- Heavy Duty Form C Contacts: Built for over 1 million operations on high-traffic doors.
- Surface Mount: Screw to frame surface. No routing, no mortising, faster install.
- UL Fire Door Accessory: Approved for fire-rated door assemblies.
- Form C Output: Gives you both NO and NC contact options.
