Inclinometer
The ADS Inclinometer sensor (ADS p/n 8000-0528) utilizes an
integrated accelerometer in a sealed, intrinsically safe housing to
accurately determine the state (angle opening) of a flood gate in
water control management systems. The sensor connects to the
COMM + EXT PWR port on the ADS TRITON+ monitor. Install
the Inclinometer when the flood gate is in the closed position. Once
installed it measures the angle differential from the closed position
and reports this with the ANGLE entity recorded at the monitor
wake-up interval. The ADS TRITON+ monitor can be configured
to send an alert when the angle exceeds a Tilt threshold. The default
Tilt threshold is greater than +/- 5
