Notes
Please follow all instructions carefully when installing this module
Installation
Determine Mounting Angle
The Stability Sensor must be mounted with the arrow pointing down towards the ground.


Mounting the Unit
The Stability Sensor is mounted using two M6 x 12 bolts.
As shown below:

Wiring Connections
The Model6381C is wired into the machine by connecting the desired connections to the modules internal screw lock header. Run the cable through the gland, and wire in the desired connections, making sure to terminate the connections using the supplied wire crimp terminals. 



Operation
The Stability Sensor has 3 operating modes; Normal, Warning and Alarm.

Normal Mode
The Stability Sensor is in normal mode when the angle is below the warning threshold relative to the reference angle. The buzzer does not sound in this mode. Both the Alarm & Warning outputs are producing a GND signal. The vehicle is in a safe condition and can be operated as normal.

Warning Mode
In this mode the angle is above the warning threshold but below the alarm threshold. The buzzer produces an intermittent tone. The frequency of the tone increases as the angle approaches the alarm threshold. The Warning output is open/floating and Alarm output is producing a GND signal. This indicates the vehicle is approaching a dangerous angle and needs to be corrected.

Alarm Mode
In this mode the angle has passed the alarm threshold. The buzzer produces a solid tone. Both the Warning & Alarm outputs are open/floating. The vehicle is beyond a dangerous angle and must be immediately corrected. Fault Mode In this mode the angle has passed the alarm threshold. The buzzer produces a solid tone. The Warning, Alarm & Fault outputs are open/floating.

Pre Operation Checks
After power on the buzzer will produce a beep, even though it is below the warning/alarm threshold. This is normal and indicates that the Stability Sensor is active and has completed its self test. 

Warning
When replacing the cover ensure nothing obstructs the seal (such as the buzzer wires) and securely fasten the bolts to the base of the enclosure. Failure to do so will compromise the seal, allowing moisture ingression that will damage the unit.
Warning
If the unit is mounted at an angle that is off by more than 60 degrees from the direction of the arrow on either axes the stability sensor will not function correctly.
