2.4.8 Placement Direction

The default installation direction of the module is horizontal. When the module
needs to be installed vertically, the vertical installation can be set.
Step 1: Rotate the module 90 degrees around the X-axis

Step 2: Place the sensor 90 degrees vertically

Step 3: Click “Vertical” as install directions on “Config” menu
