5 CARE
AND
MAINTENANCE
The Tiltmeter should be treated gently like any precision instrument. In particular, care should be
taken to avoid any bumps or impact, both to protect the MEMS tilt sensor and to avoid denting or
distorting the machine plates and alignment bars. Any dust or grit on the Tiltmeter Monuments
should be carefully wiped off with a damp cloth prior to readings to avoid scratches on the Tiltmeter
Monument or base plate.
The connectors should be kept clean and dry to avoid electrical errors.
A reference Tiltmeter Monument should be maintained in a convenient, stable location to permit the
instrument to be regularly checked.
