Alarmtech MC 200-S31: Plastic Snap-in Flange

Full Description

Precision Snap-in Adapter for Recessed Magnetic Contacts

The Alarmtech MC 200-S31 is a specialised plastic adapter designed to facilitate the installation of recessed magnetic contacts into non-magnetic door and window frames. This MC 200-S31 plastic snap-in flange is the ideal solution for thin-walled frames where a standard recessed mounting might be difficult. It is specifically engineered to hold the contact and magnet securely while allowing for fine-tuning of the operating gap. With its unique snap-in function, it accommodates different frame thicknesses (1 mm and 1.5 mm), ensuring a professional and flush finish on every installation.

Key Features of Alarmtech MC 200-S31:

• Universal Compatibility: Specifically designed to work with a wide range of Alarmtech recessed contacts, including the MC 240, 246, 247, 250, 255, 270, 272, and 275.
• Adjustable Operating Gap: The contact and magnet parts are screwed directly into the flange, allowing the installer to adjust the depth and optimize the “make/break” distance after the flange is seated.
• Snap-in Installation: Features a convenient snap-in mechanism that locks the flange into place for frame thicknesses of 1 mm or 1.5 mm, eliminating the need for screws or adhesives on the frame surface.
• Durable Material: Constructed from high-quality ABS plastic, ensuring a long-lasting and corrosion-free mount for high-security sensors.
• Clean, Professional Look: The white flange provides a neat finish that blends seamlessly with most modern PVC and aluminium door or window frames.

Benefits:

• Simplified Fitting: Significantly reduces installation time in non-magnetic frames by providing a stable, pre-sized housing for the magnetic contact.
• Improved Security: Ensures the magnetic contact is perfectly aligned and firmly held, reducing the risk of false alarms caused by sensor movement or poor coupling.
• Architectural Integration: Provides a flush, low-profile appearance that is far less intrusive than surface-mounted alternatives.
• Protective Housing: Acts as a buffer between the metal contact housing and the frame, preventing potential friction or wear during operation.

Ideal Applications:

• PVC Doors and Windows: Perfect for thin-walled plastic profiles where a secure threaded grip is not possible.
• Aluminium Frames: Ideal for modern office and commercial non-magnetic metallic frames.
• Security Upgrades: Retrofitting high-quality Grade 2 or Grade 3 contacts (like the MC 240 or MC 270) into existing non-magnetic fixtures.

The Alarmtech MC 200-S31 is an essential accessory for any professional security installer. By providing a secure, adjustable, and aesthetically pleasing mounting base, it ensures that your recessed magnetic contacts perform with the precision and reliability your security system demands.
