  • Roll Sensitivity (null): < 20 arc sec @ ±3° roll
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +50°C
  • Storage Temperature: -50°C to +100°C
  • Time Constant (@66%): < 1 second
  • Temperature Coefficient: +0.75 arc seconds/°C at null
Physical Dimensions:
  • Overall Length: 1.600” (40.6mm)
  • Height: 0.335” (8.5 mm)
  • Width: 0.300” (7.6mm)
  • Hole Center: 1.340” (34 mm)
  • Hole Diameter: 0.145” (3.7mm)
  • Lead Spacing: 0.400” (10.1 mm)
Applications: The sensor is suitable for use in laser instruments, aircraft avionics, geophysical and structural monitoring, machine tool/platform leveling, and medical positioning and monitoring.
Testing and Circuitry: Tests are conducted using an AC signal of 400 Hz to excite the electrodes, ensuring maximum current at null. The output is measured between the center electrode and balanced resistors. It is crucial to avoid direct current in test and operating circuits to prevent damage and instability.
Additional Notes: The sensor's housing (center pin) is the active output signal and must be electrically isolated. The viscosity of the electrolyte can be modified to minimize vibration effects, with consultation from the factory.

Output curve and linearity specifications are shown above. Information on electrolytic tilt sensor signal conditioning is available on the Fredericks web site at www.frederickscom.com. Fredericks signal conditioner Signal in Excitation out (dual axis) Excitation out (single axis) Excitation out (dual axis) Excitation out (single axis) Caution!-Ensure that all test and operating circuits are entirely free of direct current. Direct current will cause level damage and/or instability. Note!-The housing (center pin) is the active output signal. The unit must be electrically isolated. Tests were conducted by exciting the left and right electrodes with an AC signal of 400 Hz and an rms voltage to produce the maximum current at null as per operating specifications. 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.
