Now available in a non-mercury
version, these sensors provide you
with the stability, sensitivity and
performance you have come to expect
from the traditional mercury-based
Thermo ScientificTM RamseyTM
Tilt Switches.

The Thermo ScientificTM RamseyTM Mercury
Free Tilt Sensor uses advanced technology
inside the tilt probe to replicate the same
performance found in traditional mercury
based Thermo Scientific Ramsey Tilt
Switches. A combination of opto-electronics
and solid state circuitry inside the probe
prevents jitter and provides stability not
found in the typical non-mercury options.
The precision manufacturing of the tilt probe
The field-mount control unit includes
the traditional green "Normal" and red
"Alarm" indicators with LED illuminators
(a DIN mount control is also available).
The DPDT relay contacts give you two
normally open and two normally closed
connections for your external alarms and/or
controls. An internal jumper allows you to
select whether "Normal" is a horizontal
or a tilted position. An adjustable time delay
inside the control prevents a momentary
tilting of the probe from causing a false
or premature contact transfer. Interruption
of line power will cause a contact transfer
provides sensing of a 15 degree inclination
in a full 360 degrees of direction. Multiple
models of the tilt probe are available for
applications with a wide variety of materials
and environmental conditions (see inside
for a description of the available options).
All probes have fully encapsulated
electronics and come with the necessary
mounting hardware
