Tilt Sensor, Zero Power — SQ-SEN-645B

The SQ-SEN-645B series acts like a position sensitive switch that is normally open when vertical and normally closed below the switch angle. It is designed to be non-sensitive to vibration in the vertical position. When at rest in a vertical position, the sensor will settle in an open state. When tipped down from vertical to the "switch angle" it will produce continuous on/off contact closures while in motion. When at rest below the switch angle it will settle normally closed.
