The F203-00A-212-00 dual-axis high-precision analog and digital inclinometer sensor with analog 0 to 5 V DC outputs for each axis. It also has RS-232 digital communications with a 16-bit unsigned angular position measurement output. It is designed and manufactured by Fredericks for use in structural monitoring applications, construction tools, and other applications where a very high precision, industrial-grade solution is required. This high-precision digital inclinometer sensor utilizes two Fredericks 0703-0712-99 narrow-range single-axis electrolytic tilt sensors and is mounted on our 1-6200-012 16-bit analog and RS-232 signal conditioner to provide the most accurate angle measurements.
The use of our high-accuracy single-axis sensors and the 16-bit ADCs and DACs on the 1-6200-012 signal conditioner make this inclinometer are what make this one of our highest precision products. Our specialized manufacturing techniques give this unit superior tolerances and unit-to-unit performance. It is an excellent solution for a versatile range of applications in many sectors.
The Fredericks Company’s inclinometers take our proven electrolytic tilt sensors and combine them with electrolytic tilt sensor circuits to make inclinometer solutions for use in various markets and applications. Electrolytic tilt sensing technology makes these inclinometers extremely stable with minimal long-term drift compared to MEMS devices. It is an easy-to-use inclinometer package that’s simple to integrate.
