The compact HS-429 vibration switch transmits a 4-20mA signal, features an adjustable false trigger delay of up to one minute to prevent error trips, which may occur at machine start up, and is overload protected to a maximum shock of 100g.

The HS-429, which features an integrated MEMS accelerometer, is quick and simple to set up, with the maximum rms velocity set point and response delay time easily adjustable via two rotating dials. It is sealed to IP67 and has an operational temperature range of -25 to +80°C.
