Mercury Switches
Mercury Switches
Impulsing As the contacting medium is a fluid, the mercury switch lends itself to the impulsing either each way of tilt, or one way only ie no pulse on return. One or more pulses can be supplied in a single tube and the period can be varied withinwide limits by the angle of tilt, length of tube etc.
Time delay The same principle that makes impulsing possible also provides a consistent and reliable method of providing delay-make and delay-break actions, either singly or together in one tube. Also, one tube can be supplied to provide many contacts to be switched in at pre-determined time intervals to each other.
Silent switching Mercury switches are silent in action and are well suited to hospitals, churches and anywhere a silent function is required.
Level and angle control The level or any angle can be maintained easily by mounting a mercury switch in such a way that any deviation from the desired position will bring the restoring mechanism into operation until the contacts are separated.
