1 Introduction

The WT901BLECL BLE5.0 is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration,
angular velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. The robust housing and the
small outline makes it perfectly suitable for industrial retrofit applications
such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Configuring the
device enables the customer to address a broad variety of use cases by
interpreting the sensor data by smart algorithms.

WT901BLECL BLE5.0’s scientific name is

AHRS IMU sensor.

A sensor

measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its
strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate the three-axis angle
accurately.

It is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required.
WT901BLECL BLE5.0 offers several advantages over competing sensor:

• Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias
automatic detection calibration algorithm outperforms traditional
accelerometer sensor

• High precision Roll Pitch Yaw (X Y Z axis) Accele Angular Ve
Angle + Magnetic Field output

• Low cost of ownership: remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support by
WITMOTION service team

• Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, demo video, free software
for Windows computer, APP for Android smartphones, iOS APP for iPhone,
communication protocol for project development

• WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a
recommended attitude measurement solution
