Frequently Asked Questions
What environments are best suited for the mFi-DS door and window sensor?
The mFi-DS is ideal for office buildings, educational institutions, government facilities, and retail environments where door and window security monitoring is part of a smart building automation system.
How does magnetic contact detection work for doors and windows?
The sensor uses a magnet on the door or window and a magnetic contact switch on the frame. When the door or window opens, the magnet separates from the switch, triggering a state change that the mFi network detects and logs.
Can the mFi-DS detect if a window is partially open or only fully closed?
The mFi-DS provides a binary open/closed state detection. For intermediate positions or gradual opening, contact Procure.ae to discuss alternative sensing solutions.
How is the mFi-DS installed on a building door or window?
The sensor uses terminal block connections to the mPort interface; installation involves mounting the magnetic switch on the frame and magnet on the door or window. Contact Procure.ae for detailed installation guidance.
What triggers and automations can the mFi-DS enable?
When integrated with mFi Controller, the mFi-DS can trigger alerts, log access events, control HVAC or lighting based on door/window open states, and integrate into comprehensive facility security workflows.
Does the mFi-DS work with multiple doors and windows through one mPort?
Yes, multiple mFi-DS sensors can connect to a single mPort interface, allowing centralized monitoring of all doors and windows. Contact Procure.ae for sensor capacity details.
How quickly can the mFi-DS be deployed across a building?
Procure.ae supplies Ubiquiti mFi-DS sensors across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Contact the team with your building layout and sensor count to confirm delivery and lead times.
Can Procure.ae help plan door/window sensor deployment for our facility?
Procure.ae can assist with building automation planning, including sensor placement and integration strategy. Contact the team to discuss your security and automation requirements.
What does the mFi-DS package include?
The package includes the door/window sensor unit with terminal block connectors and mounting hardware for door and window installation. Contact Procure.ae for a complete parts list.
What warranty applies to the mFi-DS?
The mFi-DS is backed by Ubiquiti's standard warranty. For warranty terms and support details, contact Procure.ae.
How does magnetic contact sensing compare to pressure or tilt sensors?
Magnetic contact sensors are the simplest, most reliable solution for binary open/closed detection with no moving parts, minimal maintenance, and proven durability. The mFi-DS offers low-cost, long-lasting door/window monitoring as part of integrated smart building systems.
