GRI 4110A Mini Aluminum Vane Switch

Overview

The GRI 4110A is a compact mini aluminum vane switch designed for monitoring the status of latch-type doors. It provides closed-loop monitoring, ensuring that the system registers both the closed state of the door and the integrity of the switch circuit itself. This is critical for access control and security systems where a failed sensor or wire could create a security gap. The integrated armored cable provides enhanced protection against tampering and physical damage, making it suitable for demanding environments. The 4110A is specifically engineered for applications where a small footprint and robust construction are required for reliable door status feedback.

Compatibility

This vane switch is designed to integrate with standard access control panels and security system inputs that support closed-loop configurations. It is compatible with systems requiring a simple, reliable contact closure to indicate door position. The armored cable is intended for installations where wiring protection is paramount, such as commercial buildings, industrial facilities, or areas prone to vandalism. It functions as a direct replacement or upgrade for basic magnetic reed switches or roller switches where enhanced durability and tamper resistance are needed.

Installation Notes

Installation involves mounting the vane switch mechanism to the door frame and the corresponding vane to the door itself, ensuring proper alignment for actuation. The closed-loop wiring connects to the security panel's input zones. The armored cable requires appropriate termination and strain relief. Ensure the door's latching mechanism does not impede the vane's movement during operation. Consult your access control system's documentation for specific wiring diagrams and input configuration requirements.
