Graded Door Contacts


Recommended Posts

Posted

Following on from an old topic (that i cant find lol)

Are you still experiencing issues with Door contacts and if so what and whos.

We currently use elmdene for G2 + G3 but I am thinking of trialling the knight plastic G2. I cant use them on G3 as they are not immune to external magnets etc. But they look better (aesthetically) than the elmdene units.

Which model of the knights? We had lots! of problems with them. We used to use them via Risco, i think we are cqr everything now. We use the small 5 terminal type G2 from CQR for domestics etc, and the larger G2 and G3 ones that come in the same housings.

We started using the CQR G3 roller contacts aswell.

Knight plastic YEND21 for everything (we don`t do G3)used over 100 last month, non DOA which is as good as it gets IMO.

so does it appear that the issues that used to exist with G3 contacts have been designed out?

does the non immunity of the knight G3 bother you long term or have you gone down that road as a company? ie stardardised on tampers for 'masking'

Same here. Found them very reliable.

I get the feeling that most companies in our industry (not saying guys on here)fit grade 1 contacts on grade 2 installs

last year i had issues with the small surface ali ones they supplied, when opened i found tamper pair just 1/2 twist no solder, caused intermittent and H/R's.

annoying thing was i used them on wooden external doors to have less chance of just such issues, got sent a another batch which were no better, reported to them they must be soldered - no further comms from them

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

for what reason paul?

What I see ... and suppliers sell far more G1 contacts than G2

yes but is that because the majoriy of installers are not approved or because people are installing and verting G2 systems using G1 contacts?

approved has nothing to do with it, it`s because they are rough as a badgers bits ..............
