Page 5: Introduction
• Connect the serial port of the Tiltometer to a GSM Modem and have it send an SMS message to a preset number, if tilt angle exceeds a preset angle. This way a possible (and expensive) mast fall may be prevented. -

"!HANDSHAKE=". This command sets the serial communication handshake options. The Tiltometer uses hardware control (RTS and CTS signals) when “!HANDSHAKE=HARDWARE”. The Tiltometer uses no handshake when you set “!HANDSHAKE=NONE”. You may want to use hardware handshake when, for instance, you want to inform a connected modem that the Tiltometer is about to transmit a message. -

Siemens and Wavecom have been tested and perform well with this function. 4 PLACEMENT POSITIONS & CORRESPONDING OUTPUTS A general idea of the space in which the tiltometer can move and typical values of the elevation and azimuth angle are given in figure 7 (E: elevation, A: azimuth). Please notice that when Elevation is at 90 degrees, then the Azimuth cannot be determined;... - Page 10 Elevation=0 • • Azimuth=270 • Elevation=0 • Azimuth=180 • • Elevation=-90 • • Azimuth indeterminate LEGEND The symbol • indicates the screw terminal’s position.

(1) On Stylitis-101, connect the AN [-] inputs to the GND on the screw terminal. Set the input range to 0~5V, Unipolar. (2) For data loggers with input range equal to 0~2.5V, use the RS232 port to set the Tiltometer’s output range to half. Issue the command: !RANGE=HALF (See 3.2). S-UME-TILT_1_0-004...
