MitiGator®
Seismic Switch
 
 
 



Small, lightweight, and inexpensive, the MitiGator® seismic switch offers a full spectrum of powerful features. Inside the compact 3"× 4"× 0.75" case is a programmable computer capable of shutting down critical devices at the onset of a strong earthquake. Not only can the MitiGator detect the earthquake waves, but it will also detect in all three axes: vertical, longitudinal and transverse.

The MitiGator® is maintenance free and capable of performing its own tests, and its sensing elements are highly reliable. An RS-232 serial port allows the user to communicate with this powerful seismic switch.
