No change on XY Sensor Readings?

Hi, everyone. I purchased a full set of ArduPilot from DIY Drones store. Now I encountered a problem in testing XY sensor

http://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SE-0002-01.

Today after I load the test programme into the ArduPilot board and plug XY sensor into the main boad, no matter how I tilt the XY sensor, the readings of X and Y sensor in the serial window all the time are: X: 461, Y: 547. Merely no change at all. Pls find figure 1.

Even I get it close to 300 heater, pls see figure 2 readings, small changes occur, but as I know in real time flight, the model plane can impossibly encounter such high temperature.

However, the readings of Z sensor in the serial window are normal and correct. I also check the wires connection and the programme I utilize, all are no problem. Besides, X and Y readings are correct when I plug another brand XY sensor into the main board and tilt it. See figure 3.

So can anyone help to tell:

1. What is the potential reason for this phenomenon?

2. How to test XY sensor is in good condition or not? Is it damaged as to your experience?

    You're plugging the XY sensors into the main board, not the shield? They're designed to only be used with the shield...

    It would help to see a photo of your setup. The DIY Drones YX sensors are shipped with the connector unsoldered. I assume you soldered it, right?
