Hinged skylights

Application.

Use surface-mount magnetic contacts to protect hinged skylights against roof entry.

Installation.

To install the contact, do the following:1.Select the location for the switch and magnet on the side opposite the hinges ( Figure124 ).2.Mount the switch on the frame and the magnet on the skylight. Observe gap distance tolerances. You may have to use spacers to achieve proper alignment.If the skylight has a steel frame, the gap distance is generally reduced by half, and you will need to use a wide-gap switch.Mount the switch and magnet so the labels reads in the same direction (switch is polarity sensitive).3.Test (see Ohmmeter testing on page86).
