Mounting and Installation Instruction
The inclinometer is designed for a horizontal mounting, i.e. the base plate of the inclinometer with the three
mounting holes needs to be placed on the horizontal plane of the object to be measured. It can be
mounted with M4 screw as a maximum.
The mounting surface must be plane and free of dust and grease.
We recommend cheese head screws with metrical thread M4 for the mounting.
Maximum fastening torque for the mounting screws is 10 Nm.
Installation
Prior to installation, please check for all connection and mounting instructions to be complied with. Please
also observe the general rules and regulations on low voltage technical devices.
Avoid shock and vibration during measurement, as these could corrupt the measurement results.
Inclination sensors that base on a fluidic measurement principle are optimal for static measurements and
suitable to only a limited extent of dynamic measurement.
Measurement
The measurement of the tilt angle of the single measurement axis is carried out over the respective
longitudinal and lateral axis of the inclination sensor. Reference is always the horizontal plane.
