Sphere Detection Switch - General Information

Meter Engineers is proud to introduce a new dependable and affordable pipeline industry product. We have combined all of the best technology into one switch. Its adaptability to any switch base, with little or no additional expense, makes it a good economical choice.

• 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.
• No adjustments make this switch easy to replace and very 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: .002" (.05 mm) typical
