1984 saw the birth of the Alarm Contact Division of Tane Services
Inc. known now as Tane Alarm products. Tane uses the finest deactivated
RHODIUM reeds made today to ensure long life and no sticking.
(See explanation below on rhodium plated reeds). Our contacts
have been tested to go over 400,000,000 cycles; more important,
they are able to sit still for years in an unused door and operate
that one critical time. Feel free to pick on our thirty plus years
of reed engineering experience.
The Best Guarantee Since 1984: $50-1
What the above means is that we guarantee NO STICKING and NO
FALSE ALARMS. If during the normal use of TANE (TAP) contacts,
you have a false alarm, we will replace the defective switch with
$50 in credit upon return of the defective switch. (If contact
fails at installation we will replace it with $20 in credit, after-installation
$50). This warranty is good for the life of the installation,
but does not cover sticking due to high voltage surges or lightning.
(For such a rare occurance TANE will replace that contact two
for one.) The reason for such a strong warranty is due to the
continued testing of our reeds in both independent labs as well
as in the field. Our reeds have been rated to over 400 million
operations without sticking and have been used in Electronics,
Military and Automotive since 1979. Please call us for a detailed
brochure on either our reed switches or test reports. UL BP-4702.
*Outside of U.S.A. warranty is $20-1. UL, CUL, CE
Quality Assurance Due To De-Activated Rhodium Plated Reeds
Finally, a Brief Technical Explanation on Rhodium Reed Contacts:
Gold and Rhodium plating treatments can fail for many reasons
most of which can be prevented with tight quality control. However,
the formation of Polymers on these surfaces will occur in the
field due to the presence of organic traces and oxygen on the
switch.
Tane uses reeds that use a unique oxygen treatment stabilizing
the rhodium surface and removing all organic impurities. The result
is an excellent switch with long life, not prone to the sticking
or poor contact problems prevalent in our industry. Patent #3857175
UL# E70063
Thus Tane makes this guarantee ………$50-1!
TANE’s high quality is assured because of the use
of de-activated Rhodium Plated reed switches which are Polymer
free and non-stick.
