Product catalog summary
Operating Specifications
The Single Axis Programmable Tilt Switch (Part Number: 0729-1758-99) operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V DC to 28 V DC and a supply current of 24 mA at 12 V DC. It measures a single axis with an operating range of ±45° and offers repeatability of ≤0.1°. The device is designed to function within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and has a storage temperature range of the same. It features a time constant of ≤100 ms and an output delay of 0.5 s.
Dimensions and Construction
The tilt switch is housed in ABS plastic, with dimensions of 50.8 mm in length, 38.1 mm in width, and 19.1 mm in height. It weighs 40 grams and includes an 18” cable with 24 gauge wire for electrical connections.
Electrical Connections
The device includes connections for supply voltage (red), supply ground (black), ground for supply and open collectors (green), and open collector outputs for left and right trip points (blue and gray, respectively).
Open Collector Output
The open collector output is open when non-tripped and closed when tripped, with a maximum rating of 200 mA when closed. An alternative model (0729-1757-99) offers opposite functionality.
Benefits
Key benefits include low power consumption, simple integration, excellent measurement resolution and repeatability, and superior performance in extreme environments. The product is manufactured in the USA.
Description and Applications
The tilt switch uses a Fredericks TrueTilt™ sensor and is suitable for applications such as construction and agricultural vehicles, vehicle tip-over prevention, and operator safety in various lifting equipment.
Certifications and Ratings
The product is RoHS compliant and has an IP64 rating, with optional epoxy potting for IP66 protection.
Mounting Notes
The tilt switch should be mounted horizontally and isolated from vibrations for optimal performance.
