Electronic vibration switch vs. mechanical vibration switch
An electronic vibration switch has no moving parts that can become stuck. The electronic signal is also more accurate and has a higher degree of repeatability than a mechanical switch.
In choosing an electronic vibration switch such as the PCH 1220, you are opting for the more reliable – and hence safer – solution.

Applications
The PCH 1220 vibration switch is suitable for basic monitoring of rotating machinery such as
fans, blowers, and
pumps.
Functionality
PCH 1220 monitors machine vibration within a 10-1000 Hz (ISO 10816-3/20816-3) frequency band and compares the value to the preset alarm threshold.
If the alarm limit is exceeded, the alarm is triggered.
The alarm automatically resets when the vibration level drops below the preset alarm limit.
Preset alarm limits
The vibration alarm is preset at delivery, simplifying the installation, and it comes with a delay time of 5 seconds.
Casing
The sensor is supplied in stainless steel 1.405 housing with an integrated M8 mounting stud and an M12 top exit connector.
Options
Temperature
The vibration switch can be fitted with a high temperature adaptor suitable for 90° C radiation.
