Detector Switch

Brand: Meter Engineers
Our patented switches combine all the best industry technology into one proven detector switch. Each detector switch is adaptable to any switch base, with little or no additional expense. Our switches are a great economical choice for detecting the passages of spheres in pipelines and meter provers.

CLASS 1, DIV 1 AND HERMETICALLY SEALED
Features
  • TEFLON bushing guided for smooth activation. There are no metal-to-metal friction points
  • Self-purging probe eliminates the need for bleeding air from the switch housing. Also, equalizes internal pressure in the switch housing to eliminate pressure resistance
  • Self-cleaning – Wiper blade that travels past the magnetic switch, before the activation surface passes, to remove any metallic material that may build up in the magnetic field
  • No expensive extensions for underground applications. Just add a 1/2″ rigid conduit riser to bring the wire termination box to a desired height. However, if the customer chooses to have the switch body above grade, extensions can be supplied for an additional cost
  • The electrical elements have a UL, Class 1, Div 1 rating and they are hermetically sealed. ATEX Certification can be provided at an additional cost
  • Easy wiring – There are only 4 colored wires to connect. (Black = Common, Blue = Normally Open, Green = Ground, Red = Normally Closed)
  • No adjustments make this switch easy to replace and extremely tamper proof
  • Low maintenance (easy to install TEFLON bushing replacement kits)
  • Adaptability – Adaptable to any switch base on the market with little or no additional expense
  • Switch Element Performance
  • Repeatability: 0.002″ (0.05 mm) typical
  • Response time: 8 milliseconds
  • Operating temperature: -40° to 221° F
  • All detector switches are capable of 2,000 PSI. A higher pressure test is available at customer request
  • Every switch mechanism is factory tested for repeatability and accuracy
