This is an advanced digital tilt meter, which is designed to monitor inclination and vertical rotation in structures in real time. It is a high resolution tilt meter, rugged in construction and has excellent temperature stability.
This tilt meter consists of a MEMS sensor with advanced electronics, mounted inside stainless steel housing.
This tilt meter consists of a MEMS sensor with advanced electronics, mounted inside stainless steel housing. The SS enclosure is sealed by electron beam welding technique, with a vacuum of 1/1000 Torr inside it. The sensor provides a relatively low cost system which offers excellent resolution, long term stability and a low thermal sensitivity.
The tiltmeter is fixed on a vertical or horizontal surface by means of an adjustable bracket and expandable anchor. Movement of the structure causes change in tilt of the tilt meter, which results in change in output of the sensor. Measurements can be made on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Subsequent sets of readings show how the structure is behaving and will give an indication of permanent deformations as time progresses.
The tilt meter data can be logged and transferred through the model ESDL-30 or EWS Switch compact wireless datalogger.
