MEMS seismic switch GeoSwitch

triaxialIP65NEMA 4

GeoSwitch is packed with many dominant distinctive features offering approvingly reliable protection for people, critical assets, devices and industrial processes. Delivering highly accurate detection of a strong earthquake or vibration with various safe shutdown options. It has a broad range of applications such as industrial, robotic, chemical, hazardous processes, gas or oil valves, elevators, escalators, walkways, locks, gates, doors; thus essentially can be used for any operation that can be controlled by an electrical on-off switch. GeoSwitch provides a complete seismic switch system including four rugged triaxial accelerometers organised in GeoSIG Redundant Quadruplet Matrix (RQM)™ format and a digital threshold detection circuitry for up to three independent switch levels, output relays, and power backup. The unique RQM™ organization allows permanent monitoring of the individual sensor cells and facilitates the use of healthy sensors for earthquake detection, thus minimises the probability of false / missed alarms. Ideally suited for accurate monitoring of vibrations to control relay contacts at different acceleration levels for warning and/or alarm functions the GeoSwitch provides user programmable set-points over the full measuring range available. Key features of the GeoSwitch include a wide selection of secure user interaction options including the hardware ports of USB and serial MODBUS. The USB console interface conveniently located under the transparent hood of the unit provides the simplest installation and maintenance under any condition using the GeoSwitch Configurator™ software.
