CORRECT INSTALLATION
When installing the Tiltmeter sensor on the structure, make sure that the X axis
(always oriented upwards) is positioned within the “Region of correct positioning”
(see “Figure 1” and “ Figure 2” on page 34).
The extent of the region of correct positioning is defined by the total sum of the pos-
sible inclinations in which the installation on the structure can be defined as correct.
This totality of possible inclinations refer to the X axis of the Tiltmeter with respect to
the absolute gravitational axis.
We can therefore state that:
•
In case of need due to an inclined surface, it is possible to install the device with
the X axis having a maximum inclination of 85° with respect to the gravitational
axis.
•
The X axis must always be oriented upwards.
WRONG INSTALLATION
Failure to comply with the installation methods described above inevitably causes
serious alterations in the data recorded by the sensor, thus making the Tiltmeter
device to be considered unusable. Specific cases in which the installation on the
structure of the Tiltmeter device is defined WRONG:
•
The X axis is inclined more than 85° with respect to the gravitational axis.
•
The X axis is oriented downwards.
•
The X axis is oriented parallel to the horizontal plane.
IMPORTANT
•
The product has been designed, manufactured and tested to meet all
specific standards if and only if installed, oriented and configured per-
fectly.
•
Failure to comply with the warnings indicated in this section could al-
ter the data detected by the sensors.
•
If the installation, configuration, use and/or maintenance of the devi-
ce are not carried out according to the manual, anomalies may occur
during its use, and safety problems may also occur. Inappropriate in-
stallation, configuration and maintenance will void the warranty.
