6.6 Reed Switch Tamper Susceptibility Test
Results
Entry door – For this test,
the Reed switch was influenced by the tamper magnet over multiple test
trials. Audible continuity tone showed that the Reed switch contacts closed
once the tamper magnet was brought close enough from the outside of the
door.
Sliding glass door – For the
sliding glass door, the magnet was able to make the Reed switch contacts
close from the outside of the sliding door. This indicates that the Reed
switch can be rendered essentially nonfunctional from a tamper magnet in the
mounting scenario shown in Figure 6-7.
