no measuring range limitation	shockproof as without moving mechanical parts
0.01 degree resolution	hermetically sealed
minimal linearity deviation	sensor electrically isolated from point of measurement - no ground connection
high long-term stability	zero point adjustable through 360° using clamping ring
hysteresis free output signal	integrated temperature measurements rectify any temperature related measuring inaccuracies

Description

The NG360 is a capacitive, liquid based inclinometer with integrated sensor electronics and 16 bit microprocessor. The measurement result is transmitted via a RS485 port for further processing. Up to 78 sensors can be operated using a single communications line.

The measurement method provides a linear relationship between the angle to be measured and the output signal. The determined angle is independent of the local gravitational acceleration, that means that no matter where the measurement is being taken, whether in Europe, Australia, on Mount Everest or on the moon, the inclination will be measured correctly anywhere. Temperature related inaccuracies are corrected by the integrated microprocessor.

Application

The NG360 inclinometer is suitable for applications requiring the measurement of any angle for further processing on a PC.

Typical areas of application include construction, mining, vehicles, aircraft, ships, surveying equipment, and transportation and conveyor systems.
