Introduction The WT901BLE BLE5.0 is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. The small outline makes it perfectly suitable for industrial retrofit applications such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Configuring the device enables the customer to address a broad variety of use cases by interpreting the sensor data by smart algorithms.
For secondary developing project or integration: use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.

Step 4. Check the result--confirm if there is 1g on Z-axis acceleration WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 16 -...
2. The value of H in magnetic field must be lower than 350. Methods: Step 1. Open the Config menu. Step 2. Click the “magnetic field” and slowly rotate the sensor 360° around X, Y, Z, 3-axis accordingly. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 17 -...

Step 4. Place the sensor horizontally stationary and make the Y axis point to the north. Step 5. Check the data of Z axis angle, it’s ok if the value is about 0°. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 18 -...
Z-axis Angle” in the “Config”, you will see the angle of the Z axis backs to 0 degree in the module data bar. 2.3.5 Reset Height to 0 Only available for the module built-in barometer like WT901B, HWT901B, WTGAHRS1, WTGAHRS2.

It is highly recommended that data can be pasted to a Excel file. In this way, all data will be shown in order. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 21 -...
Recorded data playback method: Step 1: Disconnect the sensor Step 2: Click “File” Button and then click “Load” Step 3: Choose the original path of software installation and load the Bin file WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 22 -...

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 the “Config” menu WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 24 -...
1. The higher rate of bandwidth setting will lead to higher fluctuation in data waveform. Conversely, the lower rate of bandwidth, data will become more fluent. For example: Bandwidth as 50Hz, Output rate as 5Hz. The waveform is very steady. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 25 -...
Page 26
For example, if the bandwidth setting is 20Hz, retrieval rate as 50Hz, there will be 5 repeating data. If you prefer there is no repeating data, it is required to increase the bandwidth more than 50Hz. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 26 -...
Step 1: Switch to the"6-axis" algorithm on the “Config” menu. Step 2: Proceed with the “Accelerometer calibration” and “Reset Z-axis angle” calibration. After the calibration is completed, it can be used normally. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 27 -...
Android (6.0) mobile phone is paired with a Bluetooth device, positioning must be allowed when using Bluetooth at the same time. 2. After turning on Bluetooth, it takes about one minute to search for authorization to find Bluetooth. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 28 -...
Step 1. Install the APK file, give permission of Location and Storage Step 2. Open APP and choose “BLE 5.0 Series” as sensor series Step 3: power on the sensor and scan the device WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 29 -...

Step 4. When pairing is done, the blue LED light of the sensor will flash and keep about one second After a few seconds, the data will show automatically WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 30 -...
Step 1. Keep the module horizontally stationary Step 2. Click the “Calibration” menu Step 3. Click the “Acceleration Calibration” and wait for 3 seconds Step 5. Check the result--confirm if there is 1g on Z-axis acceleration WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 31 -...
Step 4. After rotation, click “Finish” Check the result: The Z-axis angle will have less drift than before. Notice: If not successful, please stay away from the objective that can create magnetic field interference. WT901BLE BLE5.0 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 32 -...
