Loadsensing Wireless Tiltmeter
Version 0.1
For long-term applications, chemical anchors are preferable because their performance is more
stable and their vibration resistance is higher. Torque-controlled expansion anchors can also be
used, but only if the mounting plate or bracket is drawn tight against the surface and cannot
shift laterally.
We recommend sourcing the chemical anchors locally because they are considered dangerous
goods for air transportation. If you want to install chemical anchors, Worldsensing can supply
the mounting plates with the M4 lock washers and socket screws required to attach the
tiltmeter to the mounting plate. Please contact us with questions or for additional details.
Further information and drawings can be found in the accessory user guides.
Powering up the Device
Loadsensing devices are shipped closed and without batteries. To power up the device:
1. Open the device using a 2.5 mm Allen wrench.
2.
Insert
C-type batteries
in the battery holders, checking they match the polarity
indicated. You can connect one or more batteries; the more you use, the longer the
device will operate in the field. See our
LS G6 Datalogger recommended batteries
for further information on the batteries.
Please note that the device has reverse battery protection but it is not safe to keep
batteries reversed in the device for a long time.
Note: The Loadsensing Wireless Tiltmeter does not have an real-time clock battery
to keep time, so it is very important for the device to be powered with batteries
when the time is set during installation. Otherwise the device will default to the
year 1970 and data will not appear in the gateway. A warning will appear in the
log’s tab.
