Inclination position sensor
Type DST X720
For mobile hydraulic applications

The Danfoss DST X720 mid level Inclination
sensors are developed to ensure a robust andhigh-performance solution for applications
such as agricultural- and construction
machines, as well as material handlingequipments. These sensors are typically used insafety applications in order to keep theinclination of a machine, or just a part of it, asafety zone for working people, under control.
Danfoss DST X720 series uses MEMS
technology for single and dual axis withmeasurement ranges up to 360° in both singleand redundant versions.
All sensors are designed for off-highway
applications and resistant to shock andvibrations and with high electromagnetic
compatibility, and comes with either analogue
or CANopen output.
Single and redundant sensor types areavailable, making the complete portfolio
suitable for safetycritical applications.
Features• MEMS technology for almost infinite sensor
life time• Single or Redundant ranges up to 360°(±180°)• Output: Analogue or CANopen• Electrical connector: M12, 5 pin or cable• Accuracy < ± 0.5% FS• Resolution 0.01°• IP protection IP67, IPX9K

Functions
Zero point
Available for analog single circuit versions in DST X720
XY configuration (dual axis)
Figure 1: M12 version

Figure 2: Cable version

To activate the Autozero function make sure that:• sensor is powered• fixing surface is free of dust or grease• sensor is fixed on the horizontal plane with suitable screws
 ATTENTION:

The Autozero function can be defined within a maximum range of ±4.5° from the original zero position (factory set).
Hold the magnetic pen (accessory to order PKIT312) to the ZERO POINT indicated on the product label.
Hold the position for at least 3-5 seconds so that the operation is successful.
