Wired Tilt Sensor DP6X16K1
Model DP6X16K1
The basic principal of operation is the utilization of MEMS (Micro-Electro- Mechanical Systems) tilt sensors to make accurate measurements of inclination at discrete points where each Tilt Sensor is located.
MEMS tilt sensors are low-cost, robust, and virtually immune to shock loading. They operate over a wide angular
range, with high sensitivity.
aluminum housing and includes an
aluminum mounting bracket. The
bracket is affixed to the structure
using the supplied hardware.
Sensors can be combined in a string
and electrically connected by a
four-wire bus cable. Each sensor is
connected during field installation.
The cable from the endmost sensor
connects the string to the chosen
readout (PC, datalogger, SCADA
system, etc.).
The output from the string consists
of calibrated tilt readings and
temperatures for each sensor, which
can be easily imported into MS Excel,
or any data visualization software,
without the need to convert raw data
into engineering units
Advantges
- MEMS tilt sensors are low-cost, robust,
and virtually immune to shock loading.
They operate over a wide angular
range, with high sensitivity and excellent long-term stability. - Model DP6X16K1 tilt sensors can be used with automated data acquisition
systems, which allows a series of sensors to be continuously monitored
for profiling purposes.
