2.2. Mounting the Tilt Sensor Module
1. Two threaded holes (M4) are provided to mount the tilt sensor module in Single
Axis onto user-dened xtures/machinery.
2. Installation
2.1. Securing Tilt Sensor Module with Sensor Cord
1. Ensure the circular multipole connector is aligned to the receptacle on the sen-
sor module as illustrated on Figure 6(a).
2. Secure the rotatable ring by turning it clockwise as in Figure 6(b).

3. Conguration
This section deliberates how to congure the tilt sensor module to communicate with PC,
machine or equipment. To congure the tilt sensor module with RS485 converter,
user can refer to 3.1 Conguration of Single Tilt Sensor Module with Converter. To cong-
ure the tilt sensor module with DigiPas Control Box, user can refer to 3.2 Conguration of
Sensor Module(s) with Control Box.
3.1. Conguration of Single Tilt Sensor Module with Converter
3.1.1. Materials for the Conguration
• 1 × DWL5000XY or DWL5500XY tilt sensor module secured with sensor cord
• 1 × RS485 converter (4 wires)
• In this example, EasySync Converter (Model number: ES-U-3001-M) is used.
• 1 × 9-12V Power Source
• 1 × custom cable with DB9 (Female) connector
3.1.2. Conguration Setup Procedure
1. Prepare the custom cable. The constructed custom cable and the pinout of the
DB9 (Female) connector is shown in Figure 9.
