1  Description of the BROSA Angle Sensor 

1.1  Structure and functionality 

The BROSA angle sensors of types 0804 and 0813 are used to measure an angle relative to 
the direction of gravity in or on machines of all types. This relationship is given by the defini-
tion of the measuring range in the form of defining the zero point and can be selected indi-
vidually. Figure 1 shows the typical layout:

The angle sensor consists of a base plate (1) that  has  facilities (1a) for mounting at the in-
stallation  site. It  supports  a  housing  (2)  that  contains the  measurement electronics  and  has
