deurraamsensoren

Deurraamsensoren, often translated as "door frame sensors" or "door contact sensors," are components of an alarm system designed to detect when a door is opened. They typically consist of two parts: a magnet and a sensor. One part is mounted on the door frame, and the other is mounted on the door itself. When the door is closed, the magnet is in close proximity to the sensor, completing an electrical circuit. If the door is opened, the magnet is moved away from the sensor, breaking the circuit. This change in the circuit is detected by the alarm system's control panel, which then triggers an alarm.

These sensors are a fundamental part of most home and business security systems. They are relatively simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Installation is usually straightforward, often involving adhesive strips or small screws. Deurraamsensoren can be wired, connecting directly to the control panel, or wireless, communicating with the panel via radio frequency. Wireless versions offer greater flexibility in placement and easier installation without the need for running wires. The technology behind them is based on the principle of reed switches, which are magnetically operated mechanical switches. Advanced versions may incorporate additional features like tamper detection to alert if the sensor itself is being interfered with. They are a crucial first line of defense against unauthorized entry.
