Frequently Asked Question
An acceleration switch is similar to a Tilt Switch. It's a sensor that detects when acceleration exceeds a certain threshold and triggers a switching output — like an electronic "on/off" switch based on motion or shock.
The switch continuously monitors acceleration (usually in g or m/s²) along one or more axes. When the measured value goes above (or below) a preset threshold, it activates the output signal.

No — it does not output full acceleration data.
Instead, it only gives a High voltage or Low voltage as indication of
✅ Triggered (on)
❌ Not triggered (off)
If you need continuous data, a standard accelerometer is more appropriate.
❓How many axes does it monitor?
Depends on the model:
QG40N-KAXYh-7,0-ASP-CM-UL-1c are single-axis (e.g. X or Y)
QG40N-KAXYZO-7,0-ASP-CM-UL-1c is with omni function with (X, Y, Z) axis. Trigger on any direction or just specific ones.
