APPLICATION NOTES
MOUNTING THE TILT SENSOR
See tilt sensor dimensions on page 5.
The STT280 is designed to be mounted on a flat and smooth vertical surface by using 2 x M4 socket head cap screws and M4 washers to retain the mounting flange. The STT280 has two radial slots 4.5mm wide on a 38mm diameter PCD, with the slot length sufficient to allow ± 10° offset during attachment
The STT280 will be at approximate mid-span position when the cable outlet is vertically down. The mounting flange is fitted with stainless steel inserts around the mounting screw area to allow tightening and re-tightening without damage to the flange material. Maximum recommended screw tightening torque is 2Nm.
The STT280 measures the angle 0 about the axis of rotation as shown in Fig.1. It is not a requirement that the sensor be mounted on the axis of rotation.
APPLI ED VOLTAG ES
The STT280 can be ordered with two input supply voltage options, which are factory set:
• The 5Vdc option operates from a regulated supply in the range 4.75 to 5.25Vdc and provides a ratiometric output which is 80% of Vsupply over the ±60° angle of tilt, with 50% of Vsupply at 0° tilt. The ratiometric output means that any change in the supply voltage will show a proportional change in the output.
• The 8-30Vdc option will operate from an unregulated supply in the range 8.0 to 30.0Vdc. This version has an internal voltage regulator and provides an output that is absolute and 0.5 to 4.5Vdc over ± 60° angle of tilt, with a nominal 2.5Vdc at 0° tilt. Any variations in the supply voltage will not affect the output signal.
The sensor circuit has a low supply current level of less than 6.5mA and has an over voltage protection to 40Vdc.
When connecting the sensor, care should be taken when making your connections. The STT280 is provided with indefinite reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection between output (YELLOW) to GND (BLACK), but if the output (YELLOW) is connected to the supply it will result in device failure.
OUTPUT NOISE
The STT280 has a very low output noise level of less than lmVrms.
