I don't think so.  These units have an internal spring that balances the 
weight of the mass when vertical.  It will be in the stops if operated 
horizontally.

Conceivably, you could run a constant current through the coil to simulate 
gravity and look for changes in voltage across the coil as the signal, but 
I think it would probably burn out the coil in short order.
