Wireless Door/Window Reed Switch Atlo ATLO-AKN-MC10 — wireless magnetic contact sensor

The Atlo ATLO-AKN-MC10 wireless magnetic contact sensor is a compact door/window reed switch designed for intrusion detection and perimeter monitoring in residential and small commercial installations. The device senses the relative position of a magnet and reed contact to report open and closed states to compatible alarm panels or wireless smart home controllers. Its wireless construction allows installation on frames and sashes without running wires, supporting discreet protection of entry points and secondary openings.

Advantages

The wireless magnetic contact provides simple installation and flexible placement thanks to a compact profile and battery-powered operation. It communicates state changes reliably to compatible receivers, enabling prompt alarm activation or automation scenes. The sensor's low power consumption ensures long battery life, while its non-intrusive design maintains the aesthetic of doors and windows. The magnet-and-reed principle offers a straightforward, proven method for detecting opening and closing events.
