Motion Vibration Sensors

Motion sensors are very similar in design to tilt switches; in fact, some tilt switches are used as motion sensors. The sensor will be in one condition (open or closed) at rest. When it is subjected to motion it will continually change state as long as it remains in motion. Some common applications include: anti-theft devices, man-down alarms to detect non motion, smart appliances to turn off power when not in use and portable equipment to do the same.
