01Overview

What the X2-REED-301 is

The X2-REED-301 is a mini heavy-duty metal reed switch built for doors and windows that need something tougher than a standard plastic contact. It is a wired sensor: the reed sits in a silver zinc alloy housing with a 480 mm armoured cable, and it switches a normally-closed contact when the magnet moves more than the 30 mm gap away, signalling the door or window as open.

Because it is a hardwired, normally-closed device, it connects straight into a detection zone on any wired or hybrid alarm panel rather than relying on batteries or a wireless link. The armoured cable and metal body stand up to the knocks and movement you get on roller doors, fire doors and roof hatches, and it is rated for more than 100,000 operations across a -20°C to 80°C range.

An honest note on what it is: this is a wired reed switch, not a wireless transmitter, so it does not pair to a wireless alarm hub on its own. Use it where you can run cable back to a panel zone, and remember that mounting on or near steel can shorten the effective gap, so walk-test the door after fitting.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the X2-REED-301

Built for tough doors

A metal body and 480 mm armoured cable handle the knocks and movement of roller doors, fire doors and hatches.

Forgiving 30 mm gap

The wide operating gap tolerates door movement and alignment drift that would false-trip a standard mini reed.

Simple wired reliability

A passive normally-closed contact wires straight into any alarm zone - no batteries, no pairing.

Long service life

Rated for 100,000+ operations across -20 C to 80 C for years of dependable use.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Roller and garage doors

Monitor a roller or sectional door where movement demands a heavy-duty contact and armoured cable.

Fire doors and hatches

Confirm a fire door or roof hatch is closed and report if it is opened.

Side gates and sheds

Protect a metal gate or shed door that takes more abuse than an internal door.

Upgrading a failed reed

Replace a worn plastic contact on a heavy door with a tougher metal reed switch.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One X2-REED-301 mini heavy-duty metal reed switch with a 480 mm armoured cable and fixing screws. The alarm panel and cabling are not included.

  2. Installation requirements

    Surface-mount the switch on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving door, aligned within the 30 mm gap. Run the armoured cable back to a normally-closed detection zone on your alarm panel, then walk-test by opening the door to confirm it triggers. Keep the switch and magnet clear of steel where possible.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the X2-REED-301

Q.01

Is the X2-REED-301 wired or wireless?

It is a wired reed switch with a normally-closed contact and a 480 mm armoured cable. It connects directly to a detection zone on a hardwired or hybrid alarm panel and does not transmit wirelessly on its own.
Q.02

What does the 30 mm gap mean?

The 30 mm gap is the distance the magnet can move away from the switch before the contact opens and signals the door as open. A larger gap like this tolerates more movement and misalignment than a standard mini reed, which is why it suits roller and fire doors.
Q.03

What can I use it for?

It is built for heavier-duty doors and openings such as roller doors, fire doors, large gates and roof hatches, where a tough metal body and armoured cable last longer than a plastic contact.
Q.04

Which alarm panels does it work with?

Any panel with a hardwired detection zone. Wire the normally-closed contact into a zone input on a wired or hybrid panel, such as a Hikvision AX Hybrid or a similar Bosch or comparable system.
Q.05

Does steel or a metal door frame affect it?

Mounting the switch or magnet on or near steel can reduce the effective operating gap. Fit it as the instructions show and walk-test the door so you know it triggers reliably before relying on it.
Q.06

How is it powered?

It needs no separate power. A reed switch is a passive contact - the alarm panel monitors the zone, so there are no batteries to change.
Q.07

How durable is it?

The silver zinc alloy body and armoured cable are rated for more than 100,000 operations over a -20 C to 80 C range, which is why it is described as heavy-duty.
