This magnetic reed switch is designed to work seamlessly with the Sap Spy pulse counting sensor node. It is frequently utilized in the sugarbush to keep track of dump cycles on a mechanical releaser. In the Sap Spy app, you can input the amount of gallons per dump cycle (pulse) to easily monitor your overall gallons per hour and day, as well as estimate your total gallons for the season. This is an option for those using a mechanical releaser in the sugarbush.
The magnetic switch will create a pulse anytime the magnet is within 1/2" from the magnetic reed switch. This can be commonly retrofitted to many mechanical releasers such as the float or other components that travel during the dump cycle.
