The Black Box EME1Y1-015 is a magnetic contact sensor designed to detect the open or closed state of doors, windows, or other access points. Its primary function is to integrate with security and automation systems, providing real-time status updates. The 15-foot cable offers flexibility for installations where the sensor and its connected system are not in immediate proximity, such as monitoring a main entrance door while the control panel is located elsewhere in a facility.
This sensor is designed for use with Black Box security and automation hubs, as well as other systems that accept standard dry contact inputs. It functions as a simple switch, making it compatible with a wide range of alarm panels, access control systems, and building management controllers that support wired contact sensors. Specific compatibility should be verified against the input requirements of your central control system.
The EME1Y1-015 utilizes a simple two-wire connection for its dry contact output. The sensor consists of two parts: the magnetic reed switch and the magnet. When the magnet is within close proximity of the switch (typically less than 1 inch), the circuit is closed. When separated, the circuit opens. Installation requires mounting both components to adjacent surfaces (e.g., door and frame) such that they align when the door is closed and separate when it opens. Ensure the 15-foot cable is routed safely and protected from physical damage.
