    Omni-directional Level Sensor


    Model 400
    for monitoring the level attitude of platforms

    Application:
    The purpose of P-Q’s Model 400 & 401
    Omnidirectional Level Sensors is to monitor the level
    condition of a platform. A signal is provided to the
    operator whenever the base upon which the sensor is
    mounted is out of level in any direction. Typical
    applications include manlifts, cranes and mobile
    platforms.

    Features:
    Sensors come with two adjustments. The first is for
    setting the trip angle and is adjustable from 1.5° to 6.0°.
    The second is for varying the electronic time delay from
    0.5 to 5.5 seconds. Both parameters will be factory set to
    your specifications. Single and dual trip point options
    are available.

    The sensing mechanism is a gimbal-mounted pendu-


    lum which is inductively coupled to the position-sensing
    electronics. The pendulum is viscously damped with a
    silicone fluid to prevent constant oscillation due to
    vibration.

    An indicator lamp located between the adjustments


    gives an "ON" signal whenever the trip angle is reached
    or exceeded. This lamp (LED) is undamped and assists
    in system connection and checkout.

    The self-contained electronics are protected against


    reverse polarity and short circuiting of output. The
    output is "fail-safe", live at supply voltage level (1.5
    amp maximum) until the Sensor is tipped beyond its trip Specifications:
    angle. The Sensor can also be supplied with inverted • Supply Voltage: 10 - 30 VDC or
    output, "OFF" (Model 401) until trip angle. Other 10-60 VDC
    options include ground switching and low output current • Output Current: 1.5 amp continuous, 10-30v
    models. 0.5 amp continuous, 10-60v
    • Trip Angle: 1.5° to 5.0° or
    3.0° to 6.0° (field adjustable)
    Other models: • Trip Delay: 0.5 to 5.5 seconds
    • The Di-axial Level Sensor, Model 420 (Data Sheet (field adjustable)
    107) has separately adjustable "X" and "Y" axis trip • Accuracy: Trip repeatable within 0.2°
    angles. • Hysteresis: 0.3°
    • The Platform Leveler, Model 410 (Data Sheet • Idle Current Draw: 30mA (no load)
    108) can be used to level a platform. • Operating Temperature: -40° C to +70° C
    • Model 425 (Data Sheet 114) provides proportional
    "X" and "Y" axis output.

    M400 Series Omni Directional Level Sensor


    Field Adjustment Procedure
    Tools Needed: Digital Voltmeter Set On Low Scale (2VDC)
    Torque Seal Locking Compound
    Small Slotted Screwdriver
    7/16 Nut Driver or Socket Wrench

    NOTE:

    As received, the level sensor has been calibrated for the trip angle and time delay necessary for your
    application! If a minor adjustment is needed, please skip to Step #6.

    Step 1: Final mount level sensor on machine.

    Step 2: Rotate the time delay trimpot ccw until a click is heard.

    Step 3: Connect the black lead of voltmeter to ground and the red lead to the small lead
    protruding from the potting on the bottom of the sensor.

    Step 4: Adjust the leveling nuts to obtain the highest possible voltage
    reading.

    Step 5: Check voltage at trip point in all 4 directions;

    * If the voltage reading is not symmetrical, repeat Step #4.

    Step 6: Slowly tilt sensor to desired trip angle;

    * If the sensor is calibrated properly, the LED will turn on when the
    sensor has reached the proper trip angle.

    * If the LED turns on before the desired trip angle, turn the trip
    angle pot cw until LED turns off (repeat Step #6).

    * If the LED has not turned on at this point, proceed with Step #7.

    Step 7: Rotate trip angle adjustment pot ccw until the LED comes on.

    Step 8: Rotate the time delay trimpot cw until the desired time delay is achieved.

    Step 9: Apply torque seal locking compound to the leveling nuts and adjustment
    trimpots.
