How Do Mercury Switches Work?
Mercury switches use a drop of mercury that rolls down the tube whenever it's tilted forward or backward. When the mercury reaches the end of the tube, it closes a circuit that then causes the switch to be turned on or off.
Advantages of Mercury Switches
Mercury switches are designed to be easy-to-use and hassle-free, with the priority being to ensure that the user has an enjoyable experience. They also offer great value for money, providing a reliable switch that doesn't cost a fortune.
Encourages Interactive Play
The Sensory Mercury Tilt Switch is ideal for sensory spaces, in particular for users who have limited mobility. This switch is a great way to encourage users to participate actively with the sensory room.
Excellent for Exploring Cause and Effect
The Sensory Mercury Tilt Switch allows the user to control a wide variety of different sensory devices. This is great for developing a sense of independence and understanding the relationship between cause and effect.
Who Can Benefit From the Sensory Mercury Tilt Switch?
This kind of tilt switch is designed for people with limited movement, and is particularly well suited to users who are partially paralyzed. The switch gives people who are paralyzed the ability to control their surroundings, which is an extremely liberating experience for people who've lost the ability to move their body.
Who Is the Sensory Mercury Tilt Switch Not Suitable For?
The Sensory Mercury Tilt Switch is not suitable for anyone who experiences involuntary movement, such as people with cerebral palsy or Parkinson's. Any condition that causes someone to make head movements that they can't control will render this type of switch ineffective.
What Products Is the Switch Compatible With?
The switch uses a 1/4" jack to connect to sensory room equipment. This makes it compatible with any SpaceKraft Sensory Room product that includes a 1/4" jack socket.
