Mechanics and Conditions

5.1 Mounting Instructions

The inclinometer is designed for horizontal mounting, meaning the base plate of the inclinometer with
the three mounting holes needs to be placed on the horizontal plane of the object to be measured.
The mounting surface must be smooth and free of dust and grease. Fasten inclinometer to the surface
to be measured with three M4 screws, and use recommended tightening torque (depends on property
class of chosen screws, e.g. 2.9 Nm if M4 8.8 class screws are used with dry threads).

5.2 Installation

Prior to installation, please check for all connection and mounting instructions to be complied with.
Please also observe the general rules and regulations on low voltage technical devices.
Avoid shock and vibration during measurement, as these could adulterate the measurement results.
Inclination sensors that base on a fluidic measurement principle are optimal for static measurements
and suitable to only a limited extent of dynamic measurement.

5.3 Measurement

Tilt angle measurements are made in the 'X' and 'Y' axis' (longitudinal and lateral respectively), with
the reference being the horizontal plane.

5.4 Mounting

For operation this inclinometer has to be mounted horizontally (see Fig. 5.1), reference is the base plate.
