3.4.3 Tilt Sensors (TMSO.IM)
The sensors in the PTMSO are largely autonomous devices, which are controlled by the
TMSO.CU only for the purpose of time synchronization. There is no direct connection between
them, this is done exclusively via the TMSO Radio with the TMSO.CU.
The functions of the sensors are:
The acquisition of inclination data
Prefiltering of this data according to relevance
Transmission of the filtered data to the TMSO.CU
For power supply, the sensors have an internal rechargeable battery which is charged
contactlessly via the enclosed TMS.Single charger.
In addition, the sensors have a number of solar cells that, under good conditions, provide
enough energy to recharge the battery even during operation. This extends the already long
running time of the sensors even further.
The sensors are fully encapsulated and very stable to protect against dirt, water and
mechanical damage.
Furthermore, they were developed under the same aspects as the PiCUS TMS 3:
As small and unobtrusive as possible.
For this reason, the sensors have only 1 unobtrusive display and adjustment element each.
