High precision closed loop inertial grade inclinometers

These are extremely sensitive inertial sensors that measure horizontal angle or vertical deviation with virtually infinite resolution. These inclinometer units are fully self-contained (closed loop system). The high-level DC output signal is proportional to the sine of the angle of tilt from a ±1° to ±90° full range. They respond to changes of slope as small as 0.1 second of arc. Fluid filled units have hystersis less that 0.0005% of full range output, and vibration rectification is less than 10 arc seconds/g2.

LSO Series - High Precision Electronic Inclinometers
The LSO Series are high performance, closed loop, fluid damped precision single axis inclinometer sensors.  In short, they are one of the highest precision inclinometer sensors currently available.  The closed loop design means that they can measure with extreme precision even in the prescence of shock or vibration.  These inertial sensors meet the needs of a variety of commercial, industrial and militay applications.  Each housing is machined from solid aluminium making the LSO extremely sturdy, and ideal for all weather use.  It is available as standard with analogue voltage output, but can also be supplied with 4-20mA ouput.

LSR Series - High Precision Electronic Inclinometer
The LSR Series Inclinometer is suitable for applications with limited space.  The compact, cylindrical shape and the "stacking" feature of the LSR facilitate the use of several inclinometers when multi-axis measurement is required. The LSR inclinometer offers the same precise readings with high outputs at lower range frequencies as the LSO Series. The applications include:

  •  Heavy construction and grading projects
  •  Ship and barge levelling
  •  Deviation surveys and continuous casting
  •  Weapons and antenna platform levelling

CDU-224 - Inclinometer Display Unit
The CDU-224 Series is a microprocessor based panel meter designed to take the output from any of the above gravity referenced inclinometers and display it as an angle. The compact unit provides the +/-15VDC sensor excitation, conditions the inclinometer output and displays the angle down to 0.001 degrees. When supplied with an inclinometer it is factory calibrated to that device at several points in the inclinometer's range, and then linearises the input to the closest calibration points. An RS485 output is provided for interfacing to a computer, PLC or printer. Bezel and scratch resistant lenses are sealed to meet requirements of NEMA 4 and a gasket is supplied to seal the unit to a panel.
