Looking at the datasheet, it appears that the switch opens once the tilt angle reaches 50-80 degrees from horizontal, then closes again once the tilt angle returns to 25 degrees. However, it's not especially clear.

This part is really a tilt switch (on/off) and not a tilt sensor that measures angle, if that's what you were looking for.
