Tilt Switch
The tilt switch is used to prevent the danger of fire for example when room heaters fall or are knocked over. Typical applications are fan heaters, convectors and portable oil radiators.
The actuator is a pendulum which is free to travel in all directions. The normally closed contact interrupts the circuit as soon as the pendulum inclines 20 to 60 angular degrees from the perpendicular.
