This revolutionary two-wire electronic switch offers the simplicity of a mechanical switch with the precision of an electronic switch. The unit operates from universal power that is scavenged from a load's power source. It is microprocessor controlled, has a built-in accelerometer, installs easily with a single stud, and has the smallest footprint of any vibration switch on the market.

Electronic switches require power to operate and utilize an input signal that is provided by an electronic vibration sensor, or accelerometer. This sensor may be built into the switch enclosure, or remotely located. A remote sensor is advantageous when the vibration switch enclosure will not fit within the installation location, or if the temperature at the installation location exceeds the capability of the switch's electronic components. The amplitude of the electrical signal generated by the sensor is proportional to the experienced vibration. Circuitry within the switch compares this signal amplitude against a predetermined threshold value.
