5 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 or
smaller.
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.
5.1 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 installation, 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.
5.2 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.
