1. Inngangur
The DollaTek SW-420 NC Type Vibration Sensor Module is designed to detect vibrations and provide a digital output signal. This module utilizes a normally closed (NC) type vibration switch, meaning its output is low when stable and goes high upon detecting vibration. It is suitable for various applications requiring vibration detection, such as alarm systems, smart car projects, and earthquake detection.

4. Starfsregla
The SW-420 sensor is a normally closed (NC) type. This means:
- When the module is stable and not vibrating, the internal switch is closed, resulting in a lágt output signal (0) and the green indicator LED (DO-LED) being on.
- When the module detects vibration, the internal switch momentarily opens, causing the output to be driven hátt (1) and the green indicator LED (DO-LED) to turn af.
The LM393 comparator processes the signal from the vibration switch, providing a clean digital output. The sensitivity of the vibration detection can be adjusted using the onboard potentiometer.
5. Uppsetning og tenging
To integrate the SW-420 module into your project, connect it to a microcontroller or other compatible device using the three-pin header.

| 3 | DO | Digital Output (0 or 1) |
5.2 Tengingarskref
- Tengdu við VCC pin of the module to the 3.3V or 5V power supply output of your microcontroller.
- Tengdu við GND pin of the module to the ground (GND) pin of your microcontroller.
- Tengdu við DO (Digital Output) pin of the module to a digital input pin on your microcontroller.
Mikilvæg athugasemd: Ensure the power supply polarity is correct. Reversing the power direction can damage the module.
6. Rekstur
6.1 Power Indicator (PWR-LED)
The red LED labeled "PWR-LED" illuminates when the module is correctly powered, indicating that the module is receiving voltage.
6.2 Digital Output Indicator (DO-LED)
The green LED labeled "DO-LED" indicates the state of the digital output:
- DO-LED On: Module is stable, no vibration detected. Digital output (DO) is LOW (0).
- DO-LED Off: Vibration detected. Digital output (DO) is HIGH (1).
6.3 Næmnistilling
The blue potentiometer (variable resistor) on the module allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the vibration detection. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase sensitivity (detect weaker vibrations) and counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity (require stronger vibrations for detection).

10.1 Module Not Powering On
- Check power connections (VCC and GND) for correct polarity and secure contact.
- Gakktu úr skugga um að aflgjafinn gefi rétta hljóðstyrkinntage (3.3V-5V jafnstraumur).
- Ensure the power supply is capable of providing sufficient current.
10.2 No Output or Incorrect Output
- DO-LED always ON (output LOW): The module is not detecting vibration. Try increasing sensitivity using the potentiometer. Ensure the module is securely mounted and experiencing actual vibration.
- DO-LED always OFF (output HIGH): The module might be too sensitive or constantly detecting minor vibrations. Try decreasing sensitivity using the potentiometer. Check for continuous vibration in the environment.
- Verify the connection of the DO pin to your microcontroller's input.
- Ensure your microcontroller's code is correctly reading the digital input.
10.3 Module Damaged
If the module shows no signs of life after verifying power and connections, or if there's a burning smell, it might be damaged. This often occurs due to incorrect power polarity. Replace the module if damage is suspected.
