Switch mounted in horizontal plane

Switch mounted in vertical plane

The Tilt Switch should be mounted in the horizontal plane for L or W axis and in the vertical plane for H axis. The factory can pre-

program an offset for when the Tilt Switch is required to be mounted at an angle.

The Tilt Switch may be mounted using the four corner holes (preferred) or the two key hole slots at each end of the unit. Do not drill

the box as this may damage the internal components and will compromise the sealing.

Please ensure sufficient space is left to allow for the cable. Undue stress on the cable should be avoided.

Wiring Information

The Tilt Switch has a six wire cable for connection. As standard, the unit is supplied with a 12” cable - other lengths can be supplied

(contact factory). The Tilt Switch is not fused internally and a suitable external fuse should be fitted.

The Tilt Switch will work with any supply voltage within the chosen voltage range. The

internal switches are factory programmed as either normally open or normally closed.

The normally closed function requires the Tilt Switch supply voltage to be present at

all times. Disconnecting the supply to the Tilt Switch will cause the normally closed

contact to open. If the normally closed function is selected, the contact will close im-

mediately after the supply voltage is applied to the Tilt Switch. Switch outputs are “volt

free” and may be used for switching voltages up to 230VAC and a maximum current of

5A per switch. (Contact factory for special requirements).

Switch Function

SPST-NO:

The switch contacts are open when the Tilt Switch is in the at rest position. The switch contacts will close

(make) when the trigger angle setpoint is reached and open (break) again at the reset angle setpoint as the Tilt Switch returns to the

at rest position.

SPST-NC:

The switch contacts close (make) as soon as power is supplied to the Tilt Switch, with the Tilt Switch in the at

rest position. The switch contacts will open (break) when the trigger angle setpoint is reached and close again at the reset angle

setpoint as the Tilt Switch returns to the at rest position.
