Does it have to be in direct contact with a surface or will it work by just sensing ambient air tempture? Can I use it for 12V / 1A DC switching?

ChrisAmbient air is OK. I have it installed to operate three 12v computer cooling fans on my RV refrigerater. They are installed inside the exterior fridge access panel and force air up throught the coil. Great in hot weather.Colin

No, it doesn't have to be in contact with any surface. It is simply a switch that connects in series or connects a circuit.

I don't think it will work Dc but I have two wired up 110 Ac outdoor landscape and they are working great after over a year.

Yes, this device is for use on a 120VAC circuit. You will have a Hot wire - (Black), and a Neutral wire - (White) that is connected to you device.

I'd like to help answer your question but I do not know what you mean by an "air switch".I wired it as a plug in to a regular grounded outlet. The drain cap has a specific notch location on it to activate.

it should work just like your light switch, that is if there is no low voltage seepage from sensor switch.

I have mine connected to a 12v battery fed by a 20 vdc panel. It works well in that configuration.

This unit does not have a power supply, You have to provide a 12 Vdc power supply it calls for a 2 watt supply which is .166 amps @ 12 Vdc so a 1/2 amp or greater 12 Vdc supply would work. The next part of your question 12 volts is the pressure of the voltage and current is the flow of the voltage. The switching contact are rated at 5 amps @220 volts AC Which is a lot, I would stay with the low voltage 12 Vdc on these contacts and use a 12 Vdc external relay ( any auto supply store ) with a diode across the coil, for the higher switching voltage if used. It is cheaper to replace a relay than it is to buy a new unit, if you burn out these contacts.

It is not a standalone device. It works with a Aeonlabs micro switch which is powered by 120v. The micro switch has a NO circuit it switches which could be used to switch 12v or 24v but this touch switch is not meant to work independently. You also need a micro switch.

No. This switch is intended as a low-voltage, low-current alarm sensor. I can't tell you the exact limitations, but the wires coming out of the switch are extremely small. Be sure whatever switch you eventually use is explicitly rated 120/240 VAC and has a power (wattage or amperage) rating that exceeds whatever load (light?) that will be powered. In fact, I would recommend that you also use an in-line fuse, rated to the switch, if there is any chance that someone will put in a bigger bulb than you intended.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, all it does is read the volts coming off the battery and reports that via led light. I think you would be perfectly fine with this indicator. The C is for your switch to turn on the indicator, with my application, I ran a wire and connected it directly with the positive terminal for the indicator, beings I want to be able to kill power to the entire indicator when not in use. Prolly wasn't needed but that was my choice and it works great. The R is unused and I think I read that it's not commonly used. Hope this helped, I love the indicator personally. -Keith

This is a 12V. Fan, you cold apply 12v. directly (Ground and +12V.) and it will work at it's maximum speed (google "pc fan connector" to find out) The connector is: |Ground - +12v - Speed sensor - Speed control|However this is intended as a computer fan, i will not recommended it for any other use.

It will work on any 12v dc circuit. NOT 120ac That you would find in a house.

I don't see any reason it would not function in that environment. However it is 12 volt DC not 110 Volts AC and fairly heavy current so an appropriate sized power wire (and fuse naturally) would need to be used

The solar switch I have is marked clearly as 12v DC with same markings as your's, but no marking anywhere as 120VAC on it. I would believe it is intended for 120VAC use only.Order again a 12VDC unit.Mine works real well on 12VDC yard lights.Thomas Wilson

No, there is no switch that would indicate it. It is only wired for 120volt.

It work with 12V DC safe voltage and have 2 wire. you can connect it to the power supply directly.

I don't see why not; It's a spring (mechanically) operated switch, so voltage is not a concern and the contacts are rated for 110 VAC @10 A, so 24 VDC should be no problem.
