A key advantage of this model is its solid and aesthetic housing made of high-grade white ABS plastic. This material is resistant to UV radiation and mechanical damage, and its neutral appearance allows the sensor to blend discreetly with most window and door frames, regardless of whether they are made of wood or PVC. The side mounting design was created with maximum user convenience in mind – surface installation is quick and does not require specialized tools, and the dedicated mounting screws included in the set allow for immediate work commencement.
System safety and stability are guaranteed by an impressive operating gap of up to 20 mm. This is a parameter of critical importance, as it allows the sensor to work correctly even in the case of leaky windows, minor clearances in joinery, or natural settling of door leaves over time. As a result, the risk of false alarms is reduced to a minimum. The heart of the device consists of contacts made of ruthenium (Ru), which is a premium-class solution. Ruthenium is characterized by extreme resistance to oxidation and burning under the influence of an electric arc, which translates into millions of trouble-free switching cycles and many years of device service life even in difficult conditions.
The AC8474 sensor is an ideal choice for professionals who do not accept compromises regarding quality. A wide operating temperature range, from freezing -25°C to heat reaching +85°C, ensures that this product will perform in any climatic conditions. By choosing this model, you are investing in a proven component that realistically increases the security level of the facility, ensuring peace of mind for household members and business owners.

The professional side magnetic sensor (reed switch) model AC8474 is an advanced and reliable solution dedicated to security systems and modern home automation. This device stands out from the competition with its exceptional versatility, offering simultaneous support for two output states: NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed). Thanks to the use of three output wires, the installer has full freedom in configuring the device, allowing for rapid integration with almost any alarm control panel available on the market, including systems from renowned brands such as Satel, Bosch, Elmes, Ropam, or AVT.

Additional information
Operating principle: Why is the sensor electrically NO, but alarm-wise NC? The operation of the sensor is very simple: bringing the magnet closer (closing the window) closes the circuit, and moving the magnet away (opening the window) breaks the circuit. In the alarm industry, this sensor is sold as NC (Normally Closed). Why is this? In alarm systems, the "normal" (resting) state is a secured building – i.e., a closed window. Since the circuit is closed and current flows when the window is closed (magnet is close), manufacturers call it NC. From the point of view of pure electrical engineering, it is an NO circuit (because by default, lying on a table without a magnet, the sensor does not conduct current), however, alarm installers always look at the operating state with the window closed.
