Single Axis, Narrow Angle, Low Current, Electrolytic Tilt Sensor - 1

DATA SHEET Operating Specifications Description The 0711-0763-99 Sensor has been used successfully in applications that demand a high accuracy for small angle ranges and excellent null repeatability. The sensor offers excellent stability over time and wide range of temperatures. The hermetic glass to metal construction and solid platinum (platinized) electrodes guarantee a long operating life and stable operating characteristics.

Output readings are taken between the center electrode and the center of the balanced resistors R1 and R2. Tests were conducted at a temperature of +25 C. See sensor test circuitry in figure 3. Output curve is shown in figure 1. Descrition of Test Values AC input voltage = Null Current (max) times Null Impedance (nom) R1 =R2 = ½ Null Impedance (nom) Caution!-Ensure that all test and operating circuits are entirely free of direct current. Direct current will cause level damage and/or instability. -30 -15 0 15 TILT ANGLE (arc minutes) IMPEDANCE / TEMPERATURE Figure 2 Eout = Angle of tilt from null (Direction of tilt determined by phase of Eout) The Fredericks Company l 2400 Philmont Ave ● HuntingdonValley, PA 19006-0067 Tel: 215.947.2500 l Fax: 215.947.7464 l Email: sales@frederickscom.com l www.frederickscom.com 0711-0763-99data sheet Revision: A
