New Dual Axis Tilt Safety Switch for Aerial Lift Applications

The Fredericks Company, a leading ISO9001:2000 registered manufacturer of precision sensors, has announced availability of a new Dual Axis Tilt Safety Switch.

Specifically developed for the Aerial Lift Industry, the switch is a direct replacement for electromechanical-type level sensors currently being used in many "scissor" and "boom" lifts. The highly robust and compact unit combines Fredericks' field-proven Dual Axis True Tilt Sensor technology with a proprietary embedded microcontroller containing signal conditioning circuitry for accurate, repeatable, and safe tilt outputs.

Key features include fast installation via infrared light source programming, factory programmed trip points, damping and delays, OEM reprogramming of trip point angles, "auto zero" to eliminate cumbersome mechanical zeroing, and hermetic sealing from dirt and moisture for years of continuous operation over the life of the aerial lift.
