5.3 Mounting Instruction
The inclinometer is designed for horizontal mounting, meaning the base plate of the inclinometer with
the four mounting holes needs to be placed on the horizontal plane of the object to be measured. The
mounting surface must be smooth and free of dust and grease. Fasten inclinometer to the surface to
be measured using three #M4 screws, and torque to a maximum of 10 Nm (do not exceed!!).
5.4 Installation
Prior to installation, please check for all connection and mounting instructions to be complied with.
Please also observe the general rules and regulations on low voltage technical devices.
Avoid shock and vibration during measurement, as these could adulterate the measurement results.
Inclination sensors that base on a fluidic measurement principle are optimal for static measurements
and suitable to only a limited extent of dynamic measurement.
5.5 Measurement Direction
Tilt angle measurements are made in the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ axis’ (longitudinal and lateral respectively),
with the reference being the horizontal plane.
For
single axis
units the longitudinal axis `X` is valid only.
