Product catalog summary
Operating Specifications
The TrueTilt™ Dual Axis Wide Range Electrolytic Tilt Sensor operates within a range of ±60° with a linear range of ±25°. It measures two axes and maintains a linearity of ≤6% at ±50° and ≤1% at ±20°. The sensor offers repeatability of ≤0.05°, resolution of ≤0.003°, and a null offset of ≤5°. It is sensitive to cross-axis roll at ≤0.025° per degree and exhibits long-term stability/drift of ≤0.1°. The null temperature coefficient is ≤0.006° per °C, and the scale temperature coefficient is 0.1% per °C. It operates between -40 °C and 85 °C and can be stored between -55 °C and 125 °C. The null impedance is 50 kΩ, and the time constant is ≤100 ms. The sensor is made from magnetic metals and consumes a maximum current of 0.2 mA at null.
Physical Characteristics
The sensor has a height of 18.8 mm, a cap diameter of 8.26 mm, a flange diameter of 14.2 mm, lead spacing of 2.54 mm, lead diameter of 0.48 mm, lead length of 5.08 mm, and weighs 1.5 g.
Benefits
The sensor features very low power consumption, long life, minimal drift compared to MEMS devices, excellent resolution and repeatability, superior performance in extreme conditions, and is manufactured in the USA.
Description
The 0717-4315-99 TrueTilt™ sensor is a dual-axis, wide-range electrolytic tilt sensor with robust metal construction, offering durability and consistent performance. It is a passive sensor requiring signal conditioning electronics for output. It is suitable for applications such as RV leveling, construction machinery, railway monitoring, mobile satellite positioning, and agricultural machinery.
Certifications and Ratings
The sensor is RoHS compliant.
Notes
Ensure no direct current passes through the sensor to avoid damage and instability. The sensor should be mounted horizontally and isolated from vibrations for optimal performance.
Related Products
Compatible signal conditioners and inclinometers are available with various interfaces such as SPI, RS-232, Analog/PWM, RS-485, and CAN Bus SAE J1939.

TrueTilt™ Dual Axis Wide Range Electrolytic Tilt Sensor | Part Number: 0717-4315-99-2

TrueTilt™ Dual Axis Wide Range Electrolytic Tilt Sensor Part Number: 0717-4315-99 Notes Dimensional Drawings When using an excitation circuit not designed by The Fredericks Company, ensure that no direct current passes through the sensor. Direct current will lead to sensor damage, output drift, and general instability. For a description of hardware and software design for this sensor, see application note AN1000. The 0717-4315-99 and all sensors in the TrueTilt™ series must be mounted horizontally (parallel to the surface of the earth and perpendicular to the force of gravity). For best performance,...
