Tilt Sensor, Zero Power — SQ-SEN-6xx
The SQ-SEN-6xx 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.
Functions
- Chatters open / closed when tilted or vibrated in any direction regardless of orientation
- Tilt down detection
- On / off tilt sensing
- Normally open when vertical
- Normally closed when below or between the switch angles
- Non-sensitive to vibration or lateral movement when open
- Off vertical activation
