Cylindrical magnetic switch (indoor/outdoor)

As a passive magnetic switch, the MS-1055-N typically does not require direct electrical power to operate. It functions as a contact (normally open or normally closed) that changes state in the presence of a magnetic field, with the monitoring module to which it is connected providing the detection voltage.

Thanks to its contactless operating principle and design suited for indoor/outdoor marine use, the MS-1055-N switch is built to provide good durability and resistance to environmental conditions.

Yes, its "indoor/outdoor" designation indicates that the MS-1055-N switch is designed to withstand moisture and water splashes, making it suitable for marine environments.

Yes, the MS-1055-N switch can be integrated into security systems to detect the state (open/closed) of critical access points such as doors or hatches, thereby contributing to the overall monitoring and safety of the boat.

For installation and operation of the MS-1055-N switch, you will need the switch itself and a separate magnet. The switch detects the presence or absence of this magnet to signal a state change. It must then be connected to a compatible digital input module or monitoring system.

To ensure reliable detection, precise alignment between the MS-1055-N switch and the associated magnet is essential. They must be positioned so that the magnet lies within the switch’s detection zone when the desired state is reached (e.g., door closed).

Installing the MS-1055-N switch is generally straightforward. Its cylindrical shape is designed for easy integration. The most critical aspect is the correct alignment of the switch with the magnet to ensure precise detection.

For installing the MS-1055-N switch, basic tools are generally sufficient, such as a drill to create the required cylindrical housings and tools to secure the connection cables to the monitoring module.

The magnet must be positioned in close proximity to the MS-1055-N switch so that the magnetic field can be detected. The exact distance will depend on the switch's sensitivity and the magnet's strength. It is recommended to test operation during installation to determine the optimal position.

Yes, due to its cylindrical design, installing the MS-1055-N switch typically requires drilling appropriately sized holes in the mounting surface to insert and secure the switch and magnet.

The MS-1055-N switch itself is not a direct NMEA 2000 device. However, it can be integrated into an NMEA 2000 network by connecting it to a compatible NMEA 2000 interface module, such as a digital input module (like the SIM100), which will convert its binary signal into NMEA 2000 data.
