Introduction Introduction Electronic inclinometer IM330 is a device to measure ship hull posture, including roll actual angle, roll period, roll amplitude, pitch actual angle, pitch period, pitch amplitude, date, time, longitude and latitude, and to send them to VDR. It also has alarm function for ship’s officers...
In the meanwhile, the messages of date, time, longitude and latitude are from GPS. And IM330 sends the roll angle and pitch angle to VDR, ECS and so on.
Technical Requirements Basic Parameters Dimension H264 x W270 x D93 mm 10.4 inch TFT color LCD, 640X480 pixels Two channels, DC 18.0V~31.2V,(24V, -25%~+30%) Power Supply AC 220/110V (50/60Hz) , with AC adapter Alarm Type Roll Alarm, Pitch Alarm and Power Failure Alarm Alarm Flashing and Buzzer (press any key to cancel alarm) History Storage...

Operation Roll-Pitch Mode Press the key [R-P] to enter roll-pitch mode. On the screen, it shows roll mode (amplitude, actual angle, period and alarm setting value), pitch mode (amplitude, actual angle, period and alarm setting value), date, time, longitude and latitude. Pitch Mode Press the key [P] to enter pitch mode.
Operation Zoom In the roll/ pitch mode, press the key [Z] to zoom in or out the scale of the analog angle display. The angle range in the analog display is 0° ~90° (1° ), 0° ~45° (0.5° ), 0° ~18° (0.2° ) and 0° ~9° (0.1° ). Power Turn on or turn off the power supply.
Operation Backward Page backward the history record in History Display. Record Switch Turn on or off the history record to select if recording navigation messages. When the Record Switch is on, the words “Recording” will be shown on the bottom left of the screen. Then the main unit will record the messages, only when the actual angle is larger than the value of the alarm.
