Product Introduction
Overview
Application
The UTS uses MEMS technology to provide a multi-axis tilt sensor optimized for mobile hydraulic applications.
Accelerometers are used to calculate changes in orientation with respect to gravity.
The sensor communicates
over CAN bus using SAE J1939 protocol and has an integral Deutsch connector.
Reliability
The UTS has a glass-filled, hybrid plastic construction for sturdiness and corrosion resistance. The sensor is very
robust and able to withstand rugged applications. For moisture protection, the electronics are layered with a
conformal coating, and the enclosure is sealed against harsh environments using spin-weld technology. These
features give the sensor IP69k protection for exposed outdoor applications when mounted right side up and an
IP68 rating when mounted up-side down. Additionally, the UTS design has a high level of EMI protection.
Installation
The UTS comes standard with two different operating angles: the ± 10° option with 2 axis’ or the ± 90° option
with 2 or 3 axis’. All options have three mounting holes in a tripod pattern to facilitate level installation and a 4-
pin sealed Deutsch DT connector type designed for automotive use. These features provide for easy installation
and removal, even in field conditions.
