Description

The Honeywell 960 is a surface mount magnetic contact that can protect any door, window or gate. As a member of Honeywell’s XTP commercial contact family, the 960 can withstand a power surge up to 2400VDC making it a very rugged device. You can use the 960 contact outdoors without having to worry about a lightning strike fusing the contact switch and rendering the device useless.

The 960 XTP surface mount magnetic contact has a durable aluminium housing so it can be used in the toughest commercial applications. The wires coming out of the contact are protected by a 3’ armored cable so no one can easily cut the wires to the 960 to defeat the device. The internal reed switch is a Form A, SPST, normally closed contact with a rating of 100mA at 28VDC. If you need a Form C, SPDT, normally closed or normally open contact, you should look at the 960-2 contact instead.

Another great feature of the Honeywell 960 contact is that it has a wide gap of 2.5” so that you can use it on outside gates or fences that don’t close perfectly tight. If the wind blows and the gate rattles, a contact with a smaller gap could cause an alarm. You also don’t have to worry about installing the XTP surface mount magnetic contact outdoors because, in addition to the XTP surge protection and the epoxy seal, the contact can withstand temperatures from -40° F to 194° F.

Great Commercial Contact Sensor!
Submitted on 09/17/2019 Alarm Grid

The Honeywell 960 is a commercial-grade contact sensor from the Honeywell XTP lineup. This is a very rugged and tough door contact that is great for use in commercial and industrial locations. We also recommend it for use with overhead doors. Its durable aluminum housing is some of the toughest in the industry, and its 3' armored cable cannot be easily cut. Our technicians are very impressed with the performance of this sensor, which is why we give it a 5 Star Rating.

Contact sensors are some of the most commonly used devices for security systems. They let the system know when a door has been opened. Their operation is very simple. There is a sensor and a magnet. Opening the door will cause the magnet to become separated from the sensor. The sensor will recognize this, and it will know to alert the security system to the open door. The Honeywell 960 is no different in this regard. But it offers some outstanding features that make it suitable for more-demanding applications.

For one, you can use this sensor with a much larger than average magnet spacing gap. A standard residential contact will usually require the sensor to be within a half-inch of the magnet when the door is closed. But the Honeywell 960 will allow for a magnet spacing gap of up to 2.5 inches. And its 3' armored cable is virtually impossible to cut without some heavy tools. This helps keep the sensor secure and protected. You can even use this sensor outside on gates or fences if needed. It is also commonly used on industrial overhead doors.

Other specifications for the sensor include its Form A, SPST reed switch, which equates to Normally Closed (NC) wiring and the sensors ability to withstand power surges up to 2400VDC. All of this makes the Honeywell 960 a very dependable sensor. We recommend it to anyone in need of a hardwired commercial-grade contact, and we give it 5 Stars.
