WAUKESAH, Wis. — Magnetic switch and sensor technology provider Magnasphere Corp.’s MSS line of sensors has achieved UL 634 Standard listing for connectors and switches for intrusion alarm systems.

Consisting of a surface mount contact, a 1-inch and ¾-inch recessed contact, Magnasphere switches will only respond to a magnet within a restricted zone. The company maintains that if a defeat magnet is introduced outside the switch, it will have no effect.

“We are excited to receive our UL approval,” says Magnasphere Vice President of Sales Chris Utter. “It is validation that our contacts are safe, durable and effective.”
