FAQ
How does the DET-RDC detect door and window openings?
The DET-RDC uses magnetic contact technology with a sensor unit and separate magnet. When the magnet moves away from the sensor (such as when a door or window opens), the detector triggers an alarm signal to the security system.
What is the battery life of the DET-RDC?
The DET-RDC offers an impressive three-year typical battery life using a standard CR2 lithium battery, making it the longest-lasting model in the Scantronic detector range.
What colour options are available?
The DET-RDC is available in two finishes: brown (DET-RDC-B) and grey (DET-RDC-G) to complement different door frames and interior designs.
What is the maximum gap between the sensor and magnet?
While the specific gap tolerance isn’t detailed in the specifications, the compact magnet design (55 x 12 x 12mm) allows for flexible installation on various door and window frame configurations.
Is the DET-RDC suitable for external doors and windows?
Yes, the DET-RDC is rated for Class II environmental conditions and operates in temperatures from -10°C to +55°C with humidity up to 95%, making it suitable for external doors and windows in most climates.
