<p>The Enforcer Low-Voltage Battery Cut-Off prevents deep discharge of backup batteries. Use it to save power for a backup battery on your security system. If there is a power failure this device will ensure that your backup battery remains powered and your security system won&#8217;t go down. Alternatively, if power needs to be completely shut-off, a Master On/Off switch easily connects or disconnects the backup battery and AC power supply from the control panel. It ties directly into most 12V DC or 24 VDC power supplies or alarm panels for easy plug-and-play installation. Built-in LED indicators identify the power id being properly distributed.</p>

<p>The most basic sensors of any alarm system is a door and window magnetic contact switch. The Enforcer Surface-Mount Magnetic Contact Sensor Switch is for normally closed circuits, which means that the when the magnets are lined up, the switch is closed. The magnetic contacts can be hardwired to almost any security system as a way to monitor doors, windows, and sliding doors. These particular sensors feature quick-connect, gold-plated wiring terminals with no wiring leads inside the wall, making for an easy install and a longer life that other similar sensors. They are extremely compact at only 2&#8243; long and 1/4&#8243; tall and can be mounted using the included screws or adhesive tap with up to a 1&#8243; gap between sensors.</p>

<p>The most basic sensors of any alarm system is a door and window magnetic contact switch. Unlike conventional surface-mount magnetic contact switches, the Enforcer Recessed-Mount Magnetic Contact Sensor Switch are completely hidden once installed. It is designed for use with normally closed circuits, which means that when the magnets are lined up, the switch is closed. The magnetic contacts can be hardwired to almost any security system as a way to monitor doors, windows, and sliding doors. Each sensor is 1&#8243; long and requires a 7/16&#8243; wide hole to be drilled in the edge of a door or window jamb. The switch and magnet have ribs for securing in holes, allowing you to press fit them into place. There is an operational gap 3/4&#8243;. The wires are can be passed through the jamb and framing and run over to the alarm system controller. Both the switch and wire are completely invisible when the door or window is closed.</p>

<p>If you are tired of doors being left open, the Enforcer Surface-Mount Door Closer is the answer. With an anodized aluminum body and forged steel arms, this heavy-duty device can be mounted to metal or wood doors up to three feet, six inches wide and 88 pounds. The door closer is reversible, so it can be used on either side of the door in your application. Two valve adjustments have been built-in, one for adjusting the door closing speed and the other for adjusting the latching speed. This product is a great thing to have for the home or for an office building that need certain doors to remain closed. It will help to prevent hot air from coming in during the summer or cold air from coming in during the winter, saving you money on the cooling and heating bill.</p>

<p>The Enforcer No Touch Request-To-Exit Sensor Switch from SECO-LARM uses IR technology to open a door or activate a device. Simply wave your hand in front of the switch (up to 4&#8243; away) and the IR sensor will detect the motion, activating the built-in relay. The switch emits a cool green glow while in stand-by mode; once activated, the LED turns red to identify the relay has been triggered. Since there is no physical contact, this sensor is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, labs, clean rooms (to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and spreading of germs) or for use in schools, factories, or offices (anywhere an easy way to exit is required). The rugged stainless steel plate fits inside of a standard single gang J-box and the quick-connect screwless terminal block makes wiring from the SPDT 3A relay output to a device you wish to control a breeze.</p>
<li><strong>Uses IR technology to detect a wave of the hand and trigger a relay output <br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Detection range up to 4&#8243; (10cm)<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>LED indicator lights<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Price: $54.99</strong></li>
