1 Description of the BROSA Angle Sensor
1.1 Structure and functionality
The BROSA angle sensors of types 0804 and 0813 are used to measure an angle relative to
the direction of gravity in or on machines of all types. This relationship is given by the defini-
tion of the measuring range in the form of defining the zero point and can be selected indi-
vidually. Figure 1 shows the typical layout:

The angle sensor consists of a base plate (1) that has facilities (1a) for mounting at the in-
stallation site. It supports a housing (2) that contains the measurement electronics and has

- Page 3 1.3 Label (nameplate, indication of measuring direction) Each BROSA angle sensor is provided with a nameplate containing the information applica- ble for each variety. It can be attached either to the base plate (Figure 3, 1a) or to the hous- ing (Figure 3, 1b).
- Page 4 The analysis of an erroneous measurement can result in personal injury or material damage. WARNING! Despite their sturdy design, BROSA angle sensors may not be used for any other than the intended purpose (see Section 1.1). With improper use, dangers to life and limb of the user or third parties and/or impairment of the device in which the angle sensor is implemented or other material assets can be caused.
- Page 5 Close attention must be paid to the connection of the potential equalisation. Cables supplied by BROSA are approved for use if they are fastened (strain-relieved) in are- as subject to explosion hazards. 2.3 Operation and maintenance 2.3.1 Operation...
- Page 6 2.3.2 Maintenance The BROSA angle sensor is, in its capacity as a sensor, maintenance-free. Each angle sen- sor is to be inspected regularly for flawless condition as a preventive measure. The interval between inspections depend on the intensity of use and must be determined by the end user.
- Page 7 WARNING! BROSA angle sensors contain traces of environmentally hazardous substanc- es. This is also true of the impurities created during use. Contamination of the environment by these substances is to be prevented.
