WHAT IS A COOLING TOWER VIBRATION SWITCH?
A vibration switch detects shock and vibrations inside your cooling tower and essentially shuts the tower down or sends out an alarm if they reach a pre-set level. This is probably the most important and inexpensive component you can make in your tower. The vibration switch is constantly monitoring the cooling tower to insure there are no excessive vibrations coming from it. Cooling towers use fans that are installed at the top or bottom of the tower. These fans need to spin at an optimal rate to insure the cooling tower is doing its job and dissipating heat. As the fan spins, over time centrifugal force causes the fan to warp. Utilizing vibration switches can prevent this from happening.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COOLING TOWER VIBRATION SWITCHES
THERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF VIBRATION SWITCHES, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL. READ BELOW FOR A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF BOTH OF THEM!
VS2, VS2C & VS2EX SHOCK AND VIBRATION SWITCHES
The UTP VS2 Series switches are mechanisms that are shock sensitive for shutdown of electric motor powered equipment or engines. These switches use a magnetic latch to ensure reliable operation. The VS2 and VS2C are designed for use in non-hazardous locations. They have leaf type SPDT, double make contacts that can be used for shutdown and/or alarm. They also have a slotted sensitivity adjustment located on the side of the case!

UTP VS2EX Series switches are mechanisms that are shock sensitive for shutdown of electric motor powered equipment or engines. These switches use a magnetic latch to ensure reliable operation. Model VS2EX is housed in a threaded cover with an explosion-proof enclosure. This enclosure is UL and CSA listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D hazardous locations. In place of the leaf type contacts, 2-SPDT snap-switches are used in this model. Sensitivity is externally adjustable and, when tripped, the VS2EX gives a TATTLTALE® indication on the reset button. It is constructed to meet IP54 specifications.
