Shock & Acceleration Sensor — SQ-ASE
The SQ-ASE series sensor is a normally open device. It is designed to be sensitive in a radial direction. The sensor will trigger radially when acceleration is applied. NOTE: To achieve an omnidirectional response mount two sensors at 90 degrees to one another, logically “OR”d together.
