Elock EL-800P Door Contact Sensor – 1-Inch Weatherproof Magnetic Contact

The EL-800P Door Contact Sensor by Elock is a magnetic switch for monitoring doors and windows. It detects changes in position and sends a contact signal to a compatible intrusion alarm or access control system. As a result, security operators can monitor selected entrances and detect door opening events.

The EL-800P features a 1-inch magnetic working gap and IP65 weather protection. In addition, its compact design supports easy surface mounting on suitable door and window frames.

3S Security Solutions Specialists Inc. supplies Elock door contact sensors in the Philippines for residential, commercial, and industrial security projects.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1-Inch Wide Gap: Supports a magnetic working distance of up to 25.4mm under suitable installation conditions.
• IP65 Weather Protection: Provides protection against dust and water jets.
• Normally Closed Contact: Uses an NC magnetic switch for compatible alarm input circuits.
• Two-Wire Connection: Offers simple wiring to a suitable alarm panel or controller.
• Rare-Earth Magnet: Supports dependable magnetic contact operation.
• Ruthenium-Over-Gold Reed Contacts: Provides durable electrical switching contacts.
• Compact Surface Mounting: Fits suitable door frames and window openings.
• Low Maintenance: Uses a passive contact design without a separate local power supply.

How Does the EL-800P Magnetic Door Contact Work?

First, installers mount the sensor and magnet on opposite sides of a door opening.

When the door is closed, the magnet keeps the normally closed contact in its normal state.

Next, opening the door moves the magnet away from the sensor. The contact changes state and sends a signal to the connected alarm system.

The controller can then record the event or trigger a programmed alarm response.

Therefore, the EL-800P Door Contact Sensor helps monitor unauthorized door opening when connected to a suitable security system.

However, the sensor does not include a standalone siren or alarm controller. These functions require compatible external equipment.

Common Applications

The Elock EL-800P supports different door and window monitoring requirements.

• Residential Properties: Monitor selected exterior doors and windows.
• Corporate Offices: Detect door opening at restricted entrances.
• Warehouses: Monitor storage doors and secured access points.
• Commercial Buildings: Support intrusion alarm monitoring at designated entrances.
• Factories: Monitor suitable doors along building security boundaries.
• Outdoor Access Points: Support sheltered or appropriately installed outdoor door monitoring.

Before installation, contractors should check the mounting surface, magnetic gap, wiring route, and operating environment.

Magnetic Door Contact vs. Motion Sensor

A magnetic door contact detects changes in the position of a door or window. In contrast, a motion sensor detects movement within its monitored area.

Both devices support intrusion alarm systems. However, they provide different types of security information.

For example, a door contact can signal when a protected entrance opens. Meanwhile, a PIR motion sensor can detect movement within a room.

Therefore, installers often use both devices in a complete security system.

Alarm System and Door Access Integration

The EL-800P connects to compatible alarm panels and door monitoring inputs.

For example, installers can connect the sensor to an intrusion alarm input or a compatible access controller.

In addition, some access control systems can use door contact signals to identify door-open or door-left-open conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elock EL-800P Door Contact Sensor?

The EL-800P is a magnetic contact switch for monitoring door and window opening events. It connects to compatible intrusion alarm panels and access control systems.

What does the 1-inch working gap mean?

The 1-inch measurement refers to the rated magnetic working distance between the contact and magnet. However, actual operation depends on mounting alignment and site conditions.

Is the EL-800P suitable for outdoor installation?

The sensor has an IP65 protection rating. Therefore, it can support suitable outdoor installations when wiring and mounting follow the manufacturer’s requirements.

Does the EL-800P require a power supply?

The sensor uses a passive magnetic reed contact. It normally does not require a separate local power supply, although the connected monitoring circuit must operate within the sensor’s electrical ratings.

Is the EL-800P a normally open or normally closed sensor?

The model uses a normally closed (NC) contact configuration. Installers should confirm the required alarm zone wiring before installation.

Can the EL-800P connect to an intrusion alarm panel?

Yes. It can connect to compatible wired alarm inputs. However, installers must verify input requirements and any required end-of-line resistors.

Can the sensor work with an access control system?

Yes, if the controller accepts compatible door contact inputs. The system can then use the signal for door status monitoring.
