2 AXES INCLINATION SENSORS with analogue voltage output • High thermal stability • Rugged anodized aluminum housing • Low power • Insensitive to shock and vibrations General features: These sensors give two output voltage signals proportional to the inclination of the X and Y axes with respect to the earth axis. An inclination of 0° gives on the outputs 50 % of the maximum value full scale with respect to the negative of the power supply. The anodized aluminum housing makes this sensor extremely robust, immune to UV rays and suitable for outdoor applications such as solar trackers and nautical installations. The sensor is insensitive to shocks and vibrations and the absolute zero position is factory calibrated to ground level. For a reliable connection it is recommended to use M12x1 connectors with the shield of the cable connected to the nut (see section H of the catalogue). Self teaching of zero position: Even though the sensor is factory calibrated, the input “zero-teach” allows the compensation of mounting tollerances up to ± 10°. Self compensation is achieved by connecting the input “zero teach” to the negative of the power supply for between 2 and 10 seconds. The compensation process is indicated by the yellow LED. When the compensation is complete (after about 1 second) the yellow and green LEDs will flash. At this stage the connection between the zero-teach and the negative must be removed. Applications: • Solar trackers • Inclination control on lifting systems • Vehicle inclination monitoring • Feedback sensor on self-levelling systems
