George Risk Industries 4561R Tilt Switch Rohs

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 4561R is a tilt switch designed to detect angular position changes in a circuit. When the switch tilts beyond its actuation threshold, it opens or closes the electrical contact, triggering a connected control system or alarm. Tilt switches of this type are used in security, HVAC equipment protection, and equipment-mounted sensing applications. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or controls technicians. The 4561R meets RoHS compliance standards, making it suitable for projects with restricted-substance requirements.

The 4561R is used in low-voltage sensing and control circuits where angular displacement or equipment tilt must be detected. Common applications include security door and window sensors, equipment tilt detection, and auxiliary control functions in HVAC and electrical panels. It is sold as a single unit and fits into a broad range of miscellaneous contact and sensing circuit installations across residential and light commercial environments.

Key Features

• Detects angular position changes to open or close an electrical contact
• RoHS compliant construction for restricted-substance project requirements
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual replacement or new installation
• Compact form factor appropriate for panel mounting and equipment integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install tilt switch for miscellaneous contact and low-voltage sensing circuit applications where a RoHS-compliant tilt switch is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed controls technician familiar with low-voltage sensing circuits. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling or wiring the switch. Secure the switch at the correct angular orientation for the intended actuation threshold, as mounting angle directly affects switch performance. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring and enclosure requirements.
