Dual-axis digital tilting indicator transistor outputs
 |
Description
Digital tilting indicator FIP-M is a digital device able to signal when inclination exceeds one or more predefined thresholds, along two axes, respect to the horizontal plane. Device is equipped with two independent digital outputs.
Each digital output gives information about horizontal inclination of the system where it is mounted on, referring to its own thresholds. Exceeding one or more thresholds changes the output status ( ).
A red LED helps to give information about the FIP-M inclination with regard to one of two outputs and its
configuration:
- off: horizontal position (to less than +/- 1°)
- blinking: inclination doesn't exceed any threshold, but inclinometer is not perfectly horizontal.
- on: inclination exceeds one or more predefined thresholds
On request, it is possible to specified a delay on the status change of each output. Hysteresis is also provided on the status change of each output.
( ) Output status, according the inclination, depends on the ordering code
Features
FIP-M tilting indicator is factory preconfigured according to the custom request.
It is possible to reconfigure device characteristics using a special serial adaptor withPCprogram (sold separately).
In this way, the thresholds, the output delay, the hysteresis and other characteristics can be changed thus rendering the device that suits their needs.
Changes are stored permanently in the internal device memory.
More informations about configure procedure are given in a separate document.
Setting
The device is equipped with a bubble level and a metallic support which facilitate the zero procedure of tilt sensor without using other parts.
In fact, it is only necessary to turn the mounting screws (which are used to support the movable part on the fixed part), to adjust the zero of device. Before that, it is necessary to ensure that the machinery where the device is mounted, is perfectly horizontal.
Each sensor is pre-calibrated in Faber-com to ensure that the electrical zero corresponds with the zero of the bubble level mounted on the top.
Press on the device, compressing the springs, to verify that the device works correctly
At power on device gives immediately the information about planarity.
On request the inclination sensor can be supplied with the matching M12 female 5 way connector.
