GRI 4561R-IND SW Tilt Sensor

Overview

The GRI 4561R-IND is a surface-mount, switch-based tilt sensor designed to detect changes in orientation. It's a ROHS compliant component suitable for integration into various security and automation systems where monitoring tilt or movement is critical. This sensor provides a simple, reliable trigger mechanism for event-driven actions within a larger system, such as alerting on unauthorized movement of equipment or changes in device position.

Compatibility

This tilt sensor is designed for general-purpose integration. It functions as a simple switch, making it compatible with any system that accepts dry contact inputs. This includes many network video recorders (NVRs) with alarm inputs, access control panels, building automation systems, and custom-built monitoring solutions. Specific compatibility depends on the input capabilities of the connected device; ensure the target system can interpret a closed or open circuit signal.

Installation Notes

The 4561R-IND is a surface-mount device. Proper installation requires securing the sensor to a stable surface and ensuring the internal ball or pendulum mechanism can freely move to trigger the switch within its intended range of motion. Wiring involves connecting to the two terminals, which will either be open or closed depending on the sensor's orientation. Ensure wiring is protected from environmental factors if installed in a non-controlled space.
