The factory can preprogram an offset for when the Tilt Switch is required to be mounted at an angle. The Tilt Switch may be mounted using the four corner holes (preferred) or the two key hole slots at each end of the unit. Do not drill the box as this may damage the internal components and will compromise the sealing. Please ensure sufficient space is left to allow for the cable. Undue stress on the cable should be avoided. Wiring Information The Tilt Switch has a six wire cable for connection. As standard, the unit is supplied with a 12” cable - other lengths can be supplied (contact factory). The Tilt Switch is not fused internally and a suitable external fuse should be fitted. Wire Color Function Red +ve Supply (AC or DC) Black -ve Supply (AC or DC) Yellow Switch 1 Common Blue Switch 1 NO (NC) Brown Switch 2 Common Orange Switch 2 NO (NC) The Tilt Switch will work with any supply voltage within the chosen voltage range. The internal switches are factory programmed as either normally open or normally closed. The normally closed function requires the Tilt Switch supply voltage to be present at all times. Disconnecting the supply to the Tilt Switch will cause the normally closed contact to open. If the normally closed function is selected, the contact will close immediately after the supply voltage is applied to the Tilt Switch. Switch outputs are “volt free” and may be used for switching voltages up to 230VAC and a maximum current of 5A per switch. (Contact factory for special requirements). Switch Function SPST-NO: The switch contacts are open when the Tilt Switch is in the at rest position. The switch contacts will close (make) when the trigger angle setpoint is reached and open (break) again at the reset angle setpoint as the Tilt Switch returns to the at rest position. SPST-NC: The switch contacts close (make) as soon as power is supplied to the Tilt Switch, with the Tilt Switch in the at rest position. The switch contacts will open (break) when the trigger angle setpoint is reached and close again at the reset angle setpoint as the Tilt Switch returns to the at rest position. Specifications are subject to change without notice. E&OE.
