Global Drop-In Reed Switches
(Recommended for longer life 120 VAC)
Put a resistor and capacitor in parallel with the load. Select the
resistor and capacitor according to the load.
Typical Example:
CR: Relay coil (under 2W coil rating)
R: Resistor 1 K
- 5 K, 1/4 W
C: Capacitor 0.1
F, 600 V
Put Diode parallel to loads following polarity as shown below.
D: Diode: select a Diode with the breakdown voltage and current rating
according to the load.
Typical Example—100 Volt, 1 Amp Diode
CR: Relay coil (under 0.5W coil rating)
Circuit for Switching Contact Protection (Inductive Loads)
(Required for proper operation 24V DC)
Caution
– Use an ampmeter to test reed switch current. Testing devices such
as incandescent light bulbs may subject the reed sensor to high
in-rush loads.
– NOTE: When checking an unpowered reed switch for continuity with
a digital ohmmeter the resistance reading will change from infinity to
a very large resistance (2 M ohm) when the sensor is activated. This
is due to the presence of a diode in the reed switch.
– Anti-magnetic shielding is recommended for reed switches exposed
to high external RF or magnetic fields.
– The magnetic field strength of the piston magnet is designed to
operate with our switches. Other manufacturers’ switches may not
operate correctly in conjunction with these magnets.
– Use relay coils for reed switch contact protection.

Load
– The operation of some 120 VAC PLC’s (especially some older Allen-
Bradley PLC’s) can overload the reed switch. The switch may fail to
release after the piston magnet has passed. This problem may be
corrected by the placement of a 700 to 1K OHM resistor between the
switch and the PLC input terminal. Consult the manufacturer of the
PLC for appropriate circuit.
– Switches with long wire leads (greater than 15 feet) can cause
capacitance build-up and sticking will result. Attach a resistor in
series with the reed switches (the resistor should be installed as
close as possible to the switches). The resistor should be selected
such that R (ohms) >E/0.3.
– Global reed switch outputs may be influenced by an external
magnetic field. Care must be taken to avoid external magnetic field
exposure.
