Material analysis identifies the GE 45115 as an analog magnetic induction alarm housed in ABS plastic. Technical specifications confirm the use of a magnetic reed switch mechanism that closes the circuit to activate a piezo siren upon the separation of the sensor and magnet. Performance metrics indicate a high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) due to the absence of complex chipsets or motorized components.
The device features a three-position slide switch for Chime, Alarm, and Off modes. Aggregated data suggests an output of 120dB at the source, powered by LR44 button cells with an estimated 12-month standby duration. No cloud dependency or wireless protocols are present, ensuring the device is immune to network-based interference or hacking.
Physical Characteristics
- Enclosure: Molded ABS plastic.
- Power: 3x LR44 cells.
- Output: 120dB Piezo siren.
Service logs indicate that adhesive fatigue is the primary failure mode in high-humidity environments. Technical documentation suggests the use of secondary mechanical fasteners or high-bond acrylic tape to mitigate the risk of sensor detachment.
The SimpliSafe Glassbreak Sensor provides a more sophisticated acoustic alternative that integrates with a broader monitoring ecosystem for remote alerting.
This unit is archived within the contact sensors hardware group for localized entry detection.
