NOTE: Do not drop the acceleration sensor. If it is dropped, replace it with a new one.

Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.
Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SGB) of the acceleration sensor and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 2 (SGG). Then measure the voltage between terminal 1 (SGFR*1, SGFL*2) and terminal 2 (SGG).
Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage

for RH

STANDARD VOLTAGE

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 (SGFR) - 2 (SGG)	Sensor is not tilted	Approx. 2.0 to 2.5 V
1 (SGFR) - 2 (SGG)	Sensor is tilted	Change between approx. 0.9 to 2.3 V

for LH

STANDARD VOLTAGE

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 (SGFL) - 2 (SGG)	Sensor is not tilted	Approx. 2.0 to 2.5 V
1 (SGFL) - 2 (SGG)	Sensor is tilted	Change between approx. 0.9 to 2.3 V

NOTE: Do not apply a voltage of higher than 6 V.

HINT:

The voltage may differ according to the amount that the sensor is tilted.

If the result is not as specified, replace the acceleration sensor.
