Dual Axis Tilt Switch with Relay Output | Part Number: 0729-1763-XX

Product catalog summary

Operating Specifications
The device supports RS-232 communication and operates with a supply voltage range of 6.5 V DC to 40 V DC, drawing 30 mA at 12 V DC. It measures angles in two axes with a linear range of ±25° and offers repeatability of ≤0.1° for narrow and wide angles, and ≤18 arc seconds for mid-range. The resolution is ≤0.003° for narrow and wide angles, and ≤1 arc second for mid-range. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C.

Physical Characteristics
The housing is made of ABS plastic, with a DB15 male connector for electrical connections. The device weighs 82 grams and has dimensions of 79.76 mm in length, 53.34 mm in width, and 27.31 mm in height.

RS-232 Commands
Commands include outputting linear X and Y values, changing trip delays, hysteresis values, relay polarity, and setting axis trip points. The device can save the current position as zero and adjust the filter value.

Certifications and Ratings
The device is IP66 rated and CE certified according to various standards including CFR 47 FCC Part 15 Subpart B.

Description
