Introduction:
The Mathews Engineering TT360XYZ angle monitor is a precision angle indicator capable of
monitoring rotation in any of the three X, Y, or Z directions. The display graticule can be
tailored to most any preference with convenient touch screen controls. The TT360XYZ works
with a remote sensor appropriate for use with sheet metal box and pan brakes and other
machinery where a precise indication of angle is required. Both the display box and the remote
sensor come with magnetic mounting pads for rapid installation. The TT360XYZ also has a 9-
pin RS-232 port allowing integration into systems that require external control and data
retrieval.
Applications:
Bend angle display for sheet metal pan and box brakes
Forklift mast angle display

Page 4: Sensor Placement
Sensor Placement: Before placing the sensor, prior consideration of the desired measuring axis is recommended. The positive direction of each axis is identified by the arrows on the top of the SNSR360. The Z-axis “dot” indicates that the Z-axis arrow points “out of the page”. The “right hand rule”, shown here in figure 4, indicates which angle will be measured when any particular axis is selected. - Page 5 Operation: To re-locate the zero angle, touch any one of the four locations shown here: The main screen has four buttons. They are: 5) Scale NORMAL/INVERT: NORMAL: Increasing angles display in the CW direction INVERT: Increasing angles display in the CCW direction www.mathews-engineering.com ME10058, Rev A, ©2024...
- Page 6 6) MIN MAX: 0 to 360: The display range is from 0 to 360 degrees -180 to 180: The display range is from -180 to 180 degrees In all cases, angles that fall outside of the selected range will continue to be displayed correctly mapped into the selected range.
- Page 7 9) Target: Press the green (+) or red (-) to increase or decrease the target angle by 0.1 degree. Hold down the (+) or (-) button to move rapidly to the desired value. The valid range for the target is -180 to 359.9 but is also limited by the selected scale.

Page 8: Setup Screen
Setup Screen: Display settings only affect how the angle is displayed. On the other hand, the setup screen determines exactly which angle is measured and how the zero angle should be oriented. 12) Rotation Measurement Axis: Select X, Y, or Z as the measurement axis. For highest accuracy, use the X or Y axis. For reference, each axis, and its associated orientation, is placarded on the lid of the SNSR360 remote sensor. - Page 9 14) Invert Rotation: Normally all TT360XYZ measurements obey the “right hand rule”. That is positive angles are registered when rotation follows the direction of fingers on your right hand. When “Invert Rotation” is ON, this relationship is inverted. 15) Calibrate: TT360XYZ is calibrated at the factory.
- Page 10 The Sensor Calibration screen has six calibration buttons: 18) Calibration Buttons: When the TT360XYZ is working normally, there is no need to perform a calibration. Calibration is factory set and is held in non-volatile memory. In the event that a field calibration is desired, the SNSR360 sensor should be placed on a known level surface and carefully rotated into each of the six orientations.

Page 11: Remote Operation (Rs-232)
Remote Operation (RS-232): The TT360XYZ can be remotely controlled through its 9-pin RS-232 port. To connect to the TT360XYZ from a computer use these RS-232 settings: Baud: 115200 Parity: None Data Bits: Stop Bits: Flow Control: XON/XOFF Standard: TIA/EIA-232-F Function... - Page 12 If not already known, use windows device manager to determine which COM port to use. Use PuTTy or other terminal application to test the communications link. The TT360XYZ can also be controlled and automated using this same RS-232 protocol through popular programming languages such as Python, Basic, C, C++, etc.
