Part Number: 1-6200-008
Electrolytic tilt sensors require a basic electrolytic tilt sensor circuit to generate a tilt angle output. These are often called signal conditioners, signal conditioning boards, or electronic tilt sensors. The 0717 series TrueTILT™ dual/two-axis tilt sensors can be mounted directly on these boards for a complete inclinometer solution. Other single/one axis 0703 series TrueTILT™ and glass tilt sensors must be mounted externally and connected with wires.
This electrolytic tilt sensor circuit has RS-485 communications and mounting holes, making it simple to integrate into your own design. If you’d like to integrate the electrolytic tilt sensor circuit PCB into your own circuit design, The Fredericks Company can offer bills of material, Gerber files, and firmware source files along with engineering support for the integration. We have electrical/hardware, firmware, and mechanical design engineers on staff to assist with this process.
