Electronic Inclination Sensor

Many modern air suspension systems utilize an electronic level sensor that feeds back information to a central controller which in turn adjusts the pressure of the air bellow suspension units to equalize an off balanced load. In recent years air suspension technology has evolved from only being used in truck trailers and heavy load vehicles to modern trucks, cars, camera vehicles and motor homes. In some cases the air bellow assists the conventional suspension system and gives added support or adjustment when a vehicle is loaded with heavy items. Having a level sensor on the vehicle is the best way [...]

Patio Heater Tip Switch

The Comus Group is proud to introduce our newest custom product from our Smart sensor line. Patio heaters have become popular with bars and restaurants since they extend the day and the season for their customers to sit outdoors. As these devices are fueled by natural gas or propane they can be a danger to the populace if the pilot light were to extinguish when such a device is accidentally tipped over allowing gas to continue to flow presenting a danger to all in the immediate surrounding areas. Until recently the only solutions were low in reliability. The PD6025 is [...]
