Tilt Meter Portable
Portable MEMS Tilt Meters use a MEMS inclinometer to measure tilt in
either one or two axial planes perpendicular the surface of the base
plate. Depending on the model, the output is an analog DC signal or
digital output and is directly proportional to the sine of angle of tilt. In the
horizontal position the DC output is zero. Portable MEMS Tilt Meters
require placing the tilt meter in a reproducible position on a reference
plate attached to the surface being monitored. The portable tilt meter
system has a demountable sensor and is designed for applications
where a large number of measuring points are to be observed.
