Honeywell 949

The Honeywell 949 is a surface mount magnetic reed switch contact for use on doors and windows. The 949 is a hardwired contact with a 15 foot zip cord 2-wire lead that connects to the zone terminals on your wired alarm control panel.

The 949 contact is a good choice to pair with a Honeywell VISTA security system and is also compatible with all other standard 12V wired alarm systems. The 949 has two components, the contact with wire leads, and the matching magnet. The contact should be mounted on the door or window frame, and is wired to the security system. The magnet should be mounted opposite the contact on the moving door or window, with a gap of no more than 1¼” between the devices. The Honeywell 949 contact is equipped with two holes for screw mounting on both the reed switch and the magnet.

The Honeywell 949 is a screw mounted contact for surface installations to hardwired alarm systems. You can wire multiple 949 contacts into one zone loop to protect multiple doors and windows with a single zone. The 949 was originally available in two colors, but Honeywell has discontinued the 949BR brown contacts. The 949WH is white to match painted doors and vinyl windows.
