Hi, could you,or someone, expand a little on this method with the voltmeter?

I see it is not in fact a pot but rather a hall effect position sensor (https://asset.conrad.com/media10/add/160267/c1/-/en/001207627DS01/datasheet-1207627-honeywell-aidc-angle-and-tilt-sensor-rty090hveax-rty090hveax-reading-range-90-max-analogue-voltage-amp-superseal.pdf).

From what I can gather it is designed to give 4.5 volts full right and 0.5 full left but the specs don't specify what the zero position should be.
