2. INSTALLATION
2.1 PRELIMINARY TESTS
Prior to installation, check the sensors for proper operation. Complete the
following steps:
1. Place the sensors in the correct order by referring to the labels on the
sensors and the provided paperwork.
2. Connect the sensors by plugging the cable exiting the underside of one
sensor into the cable exiting the top of the next sensor.
FIGURE 2: Cable Connection Detail
Caution! When connecting the sensors, make sure to line up the two nubs
on the outside of the female connector with the nub on the outside of the
male connector. This will ensure that the pins and holes on the interior of
the connectors align correctly. Push the male and female connectors
together until they are completely mated.

3. Once all sensors have been connected, plug the end terminator into the
female connector at the bottom sensor. See the figure below.

4. Connect the completed string to a readout or datalogger.
5. Hold the first sensor in a vertical position and observe the reading. The tilt
sensor must be held steady while taking the reading. The observed reading
should be close to the factory vertical reading. Tilts in a positive direction
(A+ or B+, as marked on the sensor) should yield increasing readings. Tilts
in a negative direction (A- or B-) should yield decreasing readings. The
temperature indicated on the readout should be close to ambient. Repeat
this process with the remaining sensors.
6. Once the preliminary tests are complete, disconnect the string from the
readout.
7. Disconnect all of the sensor cables. (The end terminator may remain on the
bottom sensor.)
Should any of these preliminary tests fail, see Section 5 for
troubleshooting.
