Description

VS94 Series is an electro-mechanical device designed to protect equipment from damag- ing shock or vibration. This sensitive mech- anism can detect excessive shock or vibra- tion and shutdown the equipment before fur- ther damage occurs. A set of contacts is held in a latched position through a magnetic latch mechanism. As the level of shock or vibration increases an inertia mass exerts force against the latch arm and forces it away from the magnetic latch causing the latch arm to separate and to operate the con- tacts. Sensitivity is obtained by adjusting the amount of air gap between the magnet and latch arm plate.

The VS94 Series is housed in a NEMA 4/4X glass filled polyester enclosure and has a base mount. It is for applications in non-haz- ardous locations.

VS94 models are rated up to 480 VAC. (See the How to Order section on back page for models and options available.)

Applications
