Introduction

The WT901C is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. The small outline makes it perfectly suitable for industrial retrofit applications such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Configuring the device enables the customer to address a broad variety of use cases by interpreting the sensor data by smart algorithms.

WT901C’s scientific name is AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately.

WT901C is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required. It offers several advantages over competing sensor:

Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias automatic detection calibration algorithm outperforms traditional accelerometer sensor
High precision Roll Pitch Yaw (X Y Z axis) Acceleration + Angular Velocity + Angle + Magnetic Field output
Low cost of ownership: remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support by WITMOTION service team
Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, Demo video, free software for Windows computer, communication protocol for project development
WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a recommended attitude measurement solution

Warning Statement

Putting more than 5 Volt across the sensor wiring of the main power supply can lead to permanent damage to the sensor.
VCC cannot connect with GND directly, otherwise it will lead to the burning of the circuit board.
For proper instrument grounding: use WITMOTION with its original factory-made cable or accessories.
For secondary developing project or integration: use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.
