PROTECTION IS SIMPLE


DOOR/HATCH SENSORS are used to protect the boat in the picture below. A hatch / door sensor used on a door with a carefully hidden pressure mat placed in front of the door provides an excellent alarm scheme for open boats. Often the wires to the pressure mat can be placed so that they are not accessible. These hatch / door sensors can be used for doors, hatches and moveable windows.

ANSWER TO QUESTION:

2. How do they work?


The Door/Hatch sensor consists of a sensor and a magnet. The sensor is mounted inside on the door, window or hatch frame. The magnet is mounted on the door, window or hatch cover. When the door, window or hatch is opened the magnet is pulled away from the sensor which triggers an active alarm causing the siren to howl.
