Intrusion Detection Switch on Transfer Switch

At a project I am working on we will be installing a 480V, 150A manual transfer switch and a generator tap box at a pump site. These NEMA 4X boxes will be pedestal mounted inside a fenced enclosure. Intrusion detection is required on the boxes. The magnetic contact switches I'm considering use 24V for SCADA pickup. Will these 24V contacts violate the NEC for mixed voltages?

You should be able to comply, check out 725.136 Separation from Electric Light, Power, class 1, Non?Power-Limited Fire Alarm Circuit Conductors, and Medium-Power Network-Powered Broadband Communications Cables.

iwire - thank you.

I believe paragraph "(D) Associated Systems Within Enclosures" allows the contact siwtch to be mounted on the switch box providing there lead wire are in a non-conductive sleeve or barrier and located 6mm (0.25 in) from any other conductor.
