Summary
The CQR FC508/BR/MULTI/G3/EN is a flush-mounted magnetic door contact designed for use in intruder alarm systems up to and including Grade 3, as specified in EN50131-1:2006. Certified to EN50131-2-6:2008 and Environmental Class II by Kiwa FSS, this contact is suitable for indoor installations where a high level of security and reliability is required.
Finished in brown HIPS housing, this contact offers flexible installation options with a 4-terminal screw block that supports both double pole and end-of-line (EoL/FSL) configurations — eliminating the need for a separate junction box. It is also compatible with double door applications, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of residential and commercial security installations.
With built-in magnetic immunity, a microswitch tamper that detects lid removal, and support for multiple resistor types (A, B, D, E and I), the FC508 provides the configurability and tamper resistance demanded by professional alarm installers working to Grade 3 standards.
