EATS

Single / Dual Axis Tilt Sensor switch with multiple MOSFET outputs.  The EATS is an intelligent microprocessor controlled single or dual axis sensor that operates over the range of +/-45 degrees from horizontal. It can be configured as either a single axis sensor, X or Y axis, or as a dual axis sensor, X and Y axis. The configuration is either a factory pre-set or selectable by RS232.
Full Temperature compensation is included, which allows the unit to operate over the full -10°C to +70°C range with no loss of accuracy. The angle levels are factory pre-set, or are fully configurable with the RS232 option, and operate as follows:
Level 1 is the most negative, or least positive, angle level. When the measured angle equals, or becomes more negative than level 1, output 1 is turned on. Level 2 is the next negative or less positive angle level. When the measured angle equals, or becomes more negative, than level 2, output 2 is turned on. Level 3 is the next positive or less negative angle level. When the measured angle equals, or becomes more positive than level 3, output 3 is turned on.
Level 4 is the most positive, or least negative angle level. When the measured angle equals, or becomes more positive than level 4, output 4 is turned on. Under normal conditions, no output is on whilst the measured angle is between level 2 and level 3 settings.
In dual axis mode, axis Y uses levels 5 to 8 to switch the corresponding outputs 5 to 8.
The EATS is a single or dual axis tilt sensor housed in a compact rugged ABS case, and the standard model is fully sealed to meet the requirements of IP65.
Microprocessor control enables the sensor to be rapidly customised for specific applications. If you have an angle or acceleration application that falls outside of our standard range, then please contact our sales office for technical assistance.

EATS Models

EATS-1
Single or Dual axis sensor with a single MOSFET output, that operates when either axis measured angle is outside the pre-set alarm levels.

EATS-2
Dual axis sensor with a single MOSFET output for each axis, that operate when the corresponding axis measured angle is outside the pre-set alarm levels.

EATS-3
Single or Dual axis sensor with a two MOSFET outputs for each axis, that operate when the corresponding axis measured angle is outside the pre-set alarm levels.

EATS 90SS-4
Single or Dual axis sensor with four MOSFET outputs for each axis, that operate when the corresponding axis measured angle is outside the pre-set alarm levels.

Options
The standard EATS 90SS comes in a sealed case with a hard-wired 4 - 10 way cable, 1 metre in length. Several options are available which enable the sensor to cater for many different applications.

Option A - Audio alarm
A small internal buzzer that sounds whenever the alarm is active. Only available with the EATS 90SS-1 or EATS 90SS-2 models.

Option C - Output connector
The standard sensor comes with a hard-wired 1 metre lead. This option brings the outputs out onto a 6 + 6 way 2mm Datamate connector giving much greater flexibility for installation.

Option L - LED indicators
This option provides an array of 5 (Single axis) and 9 (Dual axis) LED indicators that provide a visual feedback on the sensor position. Only available with the EATS 90SS-1 or EATS 90SS-2 models.

EATS 90DC
Use this part number to order a mating Datamate cable with 1metre 12 way flying lead.

EATS 90RC
Use this part number to order an RS232 interface cable. This enables all configurable parameters to be customised by connecting the sensor to a terminal or PC. It includes a 1.5metre lead with mating connector, and 9 way D type connector for direct connection to a serial port on a PC. A simple set of commands enables all parameters to be configured by the user using a terminal emulation program.

Ordering example:
Single axis sensor with a single MOSFET output and LED indicators, order: EATS 90SS-1-L

Dual axis sensor with single MOSFET output and RS232 interface, order: EATS 90SS-2 and EATS 90RC
