Introduction
This European Standard applies to lock state contacts (magnetic) used as part of intrusion and hold-up alarm
systems (I&HAS) installed in buildings. It includes four security grades and four environmental classes.
The purpose of a lock state contact (magnetic) is to detect the lock/unlock state only or the lock/unlock state
combined with the opening status/displacement from the defined closed position of a window or door
simultaneously. The lock state contact comprises two separate contact-less units, the active connection
between these units is at least one magnetic or electromagnetic based field. Separating the two units disturbs
the connection and produces an intruder signal or message.
The scope for lock state contacts (magnetic) and the number and types of generated signals or messages will
be more comprehensive for systems that are specified at the higher grades.
This European Standard is only concerned with the requirements and tests for lock state contacts (magnetic).
Other types of detectors are covered by other documents identified as in the EN 50131-2 series.
1 Scope
This European Standard provides for security grades 1 to 4, (see EN 50131-1) specific or non-specific wired
or wire-free lock state contacts, and includes the requirements for four environmental classes covering
applications in internal and outdoor locations as specified in EN 50130-5.
Lock state contacts are installed in windows or doors and windows or doorframes to allow to monitor the
lock/unlock status only or the lock/unlock status combined with the open/close status of a window/door
simultaneously and are as such located in supervised premises. They provide the necessary range of signals
or messages to be used by the rest of the intrusion alarm system.
A detector fulfils all the requirements of the specified grade.
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this European Standard may be included in the
detector, providing they do not influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions.
The combination of the two separate units of the lock state contact is referred to in the body of this European
Standard as the detector.
This European Standard does not apply to system interconnections.

4.3 Detection
4.3.1 Detection performance
4.3.1.1 Generalities
The operating parameters of the detector shall be verified as specified by the manufacturer for the axes of
movement shown in Annex D. The operating parameters shall be defined under the condition that a
successful locking position is ensured.
The manufacturer shall clearly state in the product documentation all removal/break and approach/make
distances including their tolerance range for each distance in order to specify all potential variances due to
product design and manufacturing.
Furthermore, the manufacturer shall clearly state as well in the product documentation any special limitation
concerning installation e.g. a prohibited area between a surface on the detector and the minimum make
distance.
4.3.1.2 Removal/break distance
The detector shall generate an intrusion signal or message at the removal/break distance specified by the
manufacturer. This distance shall be specified for all normal operating axes. If the detector is designed for
installation on ferromagnetic surfaces or in ferromagnetic material, the removal/break distance shall also be
specified for all normal operating axes when the detector is mounted using the material as specified in
Annex E.
4.3.1.3 Approach/make distance
The detector shall generate a reverse signal or message at the minimum separation distance(s) specified by
the manufacturer. This distance(s) shall be specified for all normal operating axes. If the detector is designed
for installation on ferromagnetic surfaces or in ferromagnetic material, the approach/make distance shall be
specified for all normal operating axes when the detector is mounted using the material as specified in
Annex E.
4.3.2 Indication of detection
When a detection indicator is provided to show when an intrusion signal or message is generated and in
normal operation visible (e.g. surface mounted contacts) when installed according to the manufacturer's
instructions, this indicator shall be capable of being enabled and disabled.
The adjustment to enable or disable this indication locally within the detector shall only be accessible when
the detector is opened by normal means, in case of opening is required.
A detector at grade 3 or grade 4 shall be capable of receiving indication enable and disable commands from
the CIE when such an indicator is present, according to clause one of this paragraph.
4.4 Operational requirements
4.4.1 Time interval between intrusion signals or messages
Detectors using wired interconnections shall be able to provide an intrusion signal or message not more than
15 s after the end of the preceding intrusion signal or message.
Detectors using wire free interconnections shall be able to provide an intrusion signal or message after the
end of the preceding intrusion signal or message within the following times:
–  Grade 1 300 s;
–  Grade 2 180 s;
–  Grade 3 30 s;
–  Grade 4 15 s.
4.4.2 Switch on delay
Where a detector requires an internal or external power supply in accordance with 4.6, the detector shall meet
all functional requirements within 180 s of the power supply reaching its nominal voltage.
4.4.3 Fault condition signals
A detector shall generate a fault signal or message in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification and
the provisions of Table 2 in the presence of a fault condition, according to Table 1, or as result of an internal
self-test, if this feature is provided.
4.5 Tamper security
4.5.1 Tamper security requirements
All terminals and means of mechanical and electronic adjustments shall be located within the detector’s
housings.
The tamper security requirements for each grade of detector are shown in Table 1.
4.5.2 Resistance to and detection of unauthorised access to the inside of the detector through
covers and existing holes
Access holes shall not allow interference with the operation of the detector by probing with commonly
available tools. Damage shall not be caused that would prevent normal operation.
If the detector can be opened, a tool shall be required to open the unit. For grades 2, 3 and 4 detectors all
covers giving access to components that could adversely affect the operation of the detector shall be fitted
with a tamper detection device that shall generate signals or messages in accordance with Table 2. It shall not
be possible to gain such access without generating a tamper signal or message or causing visible damage.
Sealed contacts do not require the means to detect access to the inside of the detector.
4.5.3 Detection of removal from the mounting surface
Means shall be provided which generate a tamper signal or message in accordance with Table 2 if the
detector is removed from the mounting surface. Operation of the tamper detection means shall not be
compromised by deliberate tamper actions before access can be gained to it and the means had been
activated.
4.5.4 Magnetic or electromagnetic field interference
When the detector is mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions in the target application
environment (e.g. window frame) and is subject to the presence of an external field, which is based on the
same physical principal as the connecting field (e.g. magnetic or electromagnetic) generated by:
• the interference test unit as specified in Annex A and one interference test unit which is identical to the
corresponding unit, each applied to the faces of the detector according to Annex F for purely magnetic
field based products (one after one) to generate an external connecting field;
• an interference test unit based on the same physical principal and digital identification means (e.g. tag
number provided by a RFID field, if encryption is not provided) applied to the faces of the detector
according to Annex F to generate an external connecting field;
the detector shall either:
a) be immune to any influence by each of the interference test units and continue to operate normally with
the make and break distances not exceeding twice those specified in accordance with 4.3.1, or
b) generate an intrusion, and/or tamper, and/or fault, and/or other independent signal or message in
accordance with Table 2 when the make or break distances exceed twice those specified in accordance
with 4.3.1; these signals or messages may be generated either on application of the interference test unit
or when the corresponding unit has returned to its original installed position.
NOTE The signals or messages generated by a grade 4 detector are intended to be used by the I&HAS to positively
identify an attempt to sabotage the detector through magnetic or electromagnetic field interference.
In case of purely magnetic field based products, a further interference test shall be performed to identify and
avoid specific critical points at the process unit where magnetic interference or manipulation could be possible
(e.g. to reduce the risk of manipulation which simulates that the window is in a closed and locked state of the
process unit of an open window). Therefore, the pure interference test magnet shall be applied at any selected
area or directly to each accessible surface of the process unit, while no other magnetic fields shall have
influence (e.g. corresponding unit or interference test unit). In that case, in accordance with Table 2, the
detector shall generate a tamper, and/or fault, and/or other independent signal or message; alternatively, for
Grade 3 products, the process unit shall stay in the state that represents an intrusion event.
4.5.5 Matched pairs, coding and encryption
This requirement applies to all grade 4 detectors and grade 3 detectors based on digital identification means
and do not apply to grade 3 detectors purely magnetic field based products.
If a grade 4 detector is a purely magnetic field based product, it shall consist of a matched pair of switch
component and corresponding unit or similar means. The means of matching shall have a minimum of
8 differs. It shall not be possible to determine the specific pair identity by visual inspection of the detector.
If the connection between the process and the corresponding unit relies purely on digital identification means
(e.g. tag number provided by a RFID field), it shall not be easily possible to simply read out the digital
identification information and to generate a copy of the unit that holds the digital identification information. This
applies to grade 3 and grade 4 digital identification means based products.
In such cases, encryption, rolling code or other protection mechanisms shall provide a certain level of security.
4.6 Electrical requirements
4.6.1 Grade dependencies
The requirements of 4.6.2 to 4.6.6 only apply to detectors having external power to operate the components of
the detector. The grade dependent application is given in Table 3.
Table 3 — Electrical requirements
Test Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4
Detector current consumption Required Required Required Required
Input voltage range Required Required Required Required
Slow input voltage rise Not required Required Required Required
Input voltage ripple Not required Required Required Required
Input voltage step change Not required Required Required Required
4.6.2 Detector current consumption
The detector's quiescent and maximum current consumption shall not exceed the figures claimed by the
manufacturer at the nominal input voltage by more than 20 % in either mode.
4.6.3 Slow input voltage change and input voltage range limits
The detector shall meet all functional requirements when the input voltage lies between ± 25 % of the nominal
value, or between the manufacturer's stated values if greater. When the supply voltage is raised slowly, the
detector shall function normally at the specified range limits.
4.6.4 Input voltage ripple
The detector shall meet all functional requirements during the modulation of the input voltage by a peak to
peak voltage of 10 % of the nominal value, at a frequency of 100 Hz.
4.6.5 Input voltage step change
No signals or messages shall be caused by a step in the input voltage between nominal and maximum and
between nominal and minimum.
4.6.6 Total loss of external power
This subclause does not apply to detectors with internal power supplies or detectors in bus systems.
This does not include any applied voltage to a purely mechanical (e.g. pure magnetic field / reed switch)
based detector. This test only applies to wired and wire free grade 4 detectors and wire free grade 3
detectors.
An intrusion signal or message shall be generated by the total loss of the supply voltage. No generation of a
message or signal is required when this total loss of external power condition is detected by the CIE due to
system design, e.g. bus based systems.
4.6.7 Low supply voltage
This subclause applies to detectors that require either internal or external power supplies.
This does not include any applied voltage to a purely mechanical (e.g. pure magnetic field/reed switch) based
detector. This test only applies to wired and wire free grade 4 detectors and wire free grade 3 detectors.
A fault signal or message shall be generated when the minimum level of voltage that is required for the
detector to operate reliably is compromised according to the specification of the manufacturer. No generation
of a message or signal is required when this low power condition is detected by the CIE due to system design,
e.g. bus based systems.
4.6.8 Interconnection Integrity
The detector shall provide means to enable the I&HAS to monitor the integrity of the interconnection. Where
the interconnecting cable or wire is provided with the detector, means shall be provided to permit the
monitoring of this interconnecting cable in accordance with EN 50131-1 (e.g. a tamper loop or end of line
resistor built into the body of the detector).
This requirement may be fulfilled either by the detector itself or by suitable system design.
4.7 Environmental classification and conditions
4.7.1 Environmental classification
The environmental classification is described in EN 50131-1 and shall be specified by the manufacturer.
4.7.2 Immunity to environmental conditions
Detectors shall meet the requirements of the relevant environmental tests described in EN 50130-5 and
EN 50130-4 at the severity levels defined in Table 4 and in Table 5.
For all grades, the detector shall not generate or be affected by the EMC conditions and severity levels
defined in EN 50130-4.
Unless specified otherwise for operational tests, the detector shall not generate unintentional intrusion,
tamper, fault or other signals or messages when subjected to the specified range of environmental conditions.
Impact tests shall not be carried out on delicate detector components such as LEDs.
For endurance tests, the detector shall continue to meet the requirements of this European Standard after

5 Marking, identification and documentation
5.1 Marking and/or identification
Marking and/or identification shall be applied to the product in accordance with the requirements of
EN 50131-1.
5.2 Documentation
The product shall be accompanied with clear and concise documentation in accordance with EN 50131-1. The
documentation shall additionally state for the corresponding grade dependent functions:
a) a list of all options, functions, inputs, indications, signals or messages and their relevant characteristics;
b) the recommended mounting configuration, details of suitable fixing methods, prohibited areas, mounting
location and siting requirements;
c) a statement of the operational approach/make and removal/break distances on ferromagnetic and non-
ferromagnetic mounting surfaces for all recommended configurations and operational axes including all
tolerances as described in 4.3.1.1;
d) the effect of any adjustable controls on the detector’s performance;
e) any disallowed field adjustable control settings or combinations of these;
f) the operating voltage range and/or nominal operating voltage and the maximum and quiescent detector
current consumption at this nominal voltage, if applicable;
g) the value of supply voltage below which a fault signal is generated, if applicable;
h) if the direct installation in or on ferromagnetic material is supported, this should be mentioned in the
product documentation, including all relevant potential material or/and changes to any product
characteristics due to that installation environment (e.g. make / break distances, tolerances, etc.);
i) information for the test facility only on what functions are being tested during a local or / and remote self-
test and what actions or alterations are required to simulate a self-test failure;
j) if the connection between the process and the corresponding unit relies purely on digital identification
means (e.g. tag number provided by a RFID field), the manufacturer shall describe the basic technology
used for pairing of the process and the corresponding unit and the fundamentals of the encryption of the
communication process between the paired components for the test facility only, including a potential test
method to verify the requirements of 4.5.4 and 4.5.5.
