The TuControls Non-Mercury Tilt Sensor is a RoHS compliant, transmissive type photo interrupter that consists of a light emitting diode (emitter) & a photo-transistor (detector), mounted either side of a specially designed cavity that contains
The sensor is housed in a small (11x12x10mm) & very robust package. This allows it to be readily mounted on the most complex of printed circuit boards in either a vertical or horizontal plane, depending on the
As a primary sensing device, the tilt sensor can be interfaced to CMOS & standard TTL using a minimal amount of components, enabling the sensor to drive devices, power transistors & FET’s, enable solenoids, motors & lamp loads etc. Additional circuitry can also be supplied to create a sensor

|
§
|
Mode 2 : Bi-directional, normally closed, horizontal mount. (ie ON, OFF when tilted in two directions, 65° from vertical)
|
|
§
|
Mode 3 : Omni-directional, normally open, horizontal mount. (ie OFF, ON when tilted in all directions, 35° from vertical)
