User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 4.3. Connection The sensor is equipped with either a single 5-pole M12 (A-coded) male connector according to IEC 61076-2-101, or with an additional 5-pole M12 (A-coded) female connector. This is specified in the suffix of the device model designation: suffix CM indicates single male connector;...
User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 4.4. CAN termination A CAN bus should be terminated properly to prevent signal reflections. The QG65D dynamic Inclinometer has an internal 120 Ohm termination resistor. By default, this is disabled.
The QG65D dynamic inclinometer combines accelerometer MEMS and gyro MEMS. This device is unaffected by vibration or movement and can therefore measure the true angle at the sensor position in real time. Our smart algorithms (such as Kalman filtering) within the device can determine the balance between the accelerometer MEMS (best result in static situations) and the gyro MEMS (best result in dynamic situations).
User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 6.2. Measuring axis and direction 6.2.1. Measuring axis and direction for Inclination A single-axis inclinometer (vertical mount) measures the inclination in the vertical plane over the full range 0- 360° (X-output). The default 0° position and the measuring direction are shown in Figure 9 - Measuring axis and direction of 1-axis inclination.
User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 6.2.2. Measuring axis and direction for acceleration The device measures the acceleration values on all 3 axes. The measuring direction of three axes in the factory default setting is shown in Figure 11. Raw acceleration value range are up to ±1.5/±2.0 g with resolution of 0.001g.

User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 6.8. Zero adjustment Zero adjustment allows users to compensate for mechanical offsets of a horizontally mounted 2-axis device or set a customised 0° position of a vertically mounted 1-axis sensor. The measured inclination value at the 0° position will be stored in the device as a permanent offset, which is used to calculate the actual inclination output of the device.

7. SAE J1939 specification The QG65D J1939 series of devices communicates with the SAE J1939 interface. SAE J1939 uses the CAN protocol to transmit a message on the network. Every message includes an identifier which defines the message priority, who sent it, and what data is contained within it.
User Manual - QG65D J1939 Dynamic Inclinometer (Type JA) V1.0 11-bit identifier devices can be used within the same network without conflict, but it’s not defined in J1939 standards. 7.3. PGN (Parameter Group Number) The J1939 PGN comprises an 18-bit subset of the 29-bit extended CAN ID. The PGN uniquely identifies the parameter group (PG) that is being transmitted in the message.
