SQ-MIN-200 NANO-POWER TILT AND VIBRATION SENSOR Nano-power - As little as 50 nA Industrial rated - 10 year life, -40 to 85º C Ultra miniature size - 1.95 mm x 3.6 mm Simple interface - No signal conditioning required Surface mount - RoHS & REACH compliant, lead free, Halogen free Made in USA - fully automated production, 100% testing, worldwide quality and price leader FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM Omnidirectional movement sensing Chatters open / closed when tilted or vibrated in any direction regardless of orientation Normally closed at rest APPLICATIONS Horizontal Mount, Multi Axis Vibration The SQ-MIN-200 series sensor acts like a normally closed switch which chatters open and closed as it is tilted or vibrated. Unlike other rolling-ball sensors, the 200 is truly an omnidirectional movement sensor. It will function regardless of how it is mounted or aligned. When at rest, it normally settles in a closed state. When in motion, it will produce continuous on/off contact closures. It is sensitive to both tilt (static acceleration) and vibration (dynamic acceleration). The sensor can be easily used to produce a series of CMOS or TTL level logic level or pulse train using a single resistor to limit current. The signal level can be read directly by a digital input. This can be used to interrupt (wake up) a microcontroller or can be counted to estimate the amount and duration of activity. The sensor is fully passive, requires no signal conditioning, and draws as little as 50 nA of continuous current. 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 5-200 Hz Random Vibration (g) RMS Trial 1 Horizontal Mount, Multi Axis Vibration 5-200 Hz Random Vibration Motion triggered wake-up GPS tracking, RFID, vehicle electronics Security, anti-tamper, anti-theft, alarms Duty Cycle Vibration (g) RMS Duty Cycle Transitions / Second 10 Water St. Lebanon, NH 03766 USA Page 1 of 5 www.signalquest.com info@signalquest.com

SQ-MIN-200 NANO-POWER TILT AND VIBRATION SENSOR THEORY OF OPERATION The SQ-MIN-200 series sensor acts like a normally closed switch which chatters open and closed as it is tilted or vibrated. Note that the SQ-MIN-200 is not guaranteed to be closed – occasionally the sensing mechanism may remain open when at rest. The engineer should design his or her software to look for high-to-low and low-to-high edge transitions rather than an open of closed state of the switch.
