An innovative reed switch-bracket that is designed for mounting on conventional rollup or overhead doors. The switch is the bracket. This key design principle will avoid damage to the reed switch that can traditionally be sustained by misplaced alignment or shock during normal use. The switch is encased in a close-fitting housing of various materials to maintain reliable operation of the switch. The switch housing is attached to a doorstop and the reed switch is magnetically actuated. The Trackit Switch differs from others available because the internal reed is not fixed in a stationary position within its housing. Instead, a glass reed switch is soft mounted within its housing to allow superior shock absorption and prevent the reed from breaking during normal use for the life of the system. Intended for use with any and all manufacturer’s alarm products.
