TrueTILT? Single Axis Narrow Range Electrolytic Tilt Sensor

Product catalog summary

Operating Specifications
The TrueTILT™ single axis, narrow range electrolytic tilt sensor operates within a range of ±3° with a linear range of ±1°. It measures one axis with a linearity of ≤3% and symmetry of ≤0.05°. The sensor offers high repeatability (≤5 arc seconds) and resolution (≤1 arc second). It is stable over time with a drift of ≤5 arc seconds and operates between -20° to +50° C, with storage temperatures from -50° to +100° C. The null impedance is typically 50 kΩ, and it consumes a maximum current of 0.2 mA at null.

Physical Characteristics
The sensor measures 40.6 mm in length, 7.6 mm in width, and 8.5 mm in height. It features a hole center of 34 mm and a hole diameter of 3.7 mm. The lead spacing is 10.1 mm with a lead diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of 5 mm.

Benefits
The sensor is noted for its low power consumption, long life, minimal drift compared to MEMS devices, excellent resolution and repeatability, and superior performance in extreme conditions. It is manufactured in the USA and is RoHS compliant.

Description and Applications
The sensor is robust with all-metal construction, offering high linearity and repeatability. It is suitable for applications such as construction monitoring, geophysical tilt metering, gyroscopes, laser leveling, and mining equipment. More applications are listed on the company's website.

Installation and Usage Notes
The sensor should be mounted horizontally and isolated from vibrations for optimal performance. It should not be exposed to direct current to avoid damage and instability.

Related Products
The 6200 series signal conditioners are compatible with this sensor, offering various outputs like analog, PWM, RS-232, RS-485, and SPI. The TrueTILT™ series includes sensors with different ranges to meet specific needs.

Ordering Information
The sensor part number is 0703-0711-99, with signal conditioner part numbers varying based on communication type (SPI, RS-232, Analog/PWM, RS-485).

TrueTilt™ Single Axis Narrow Angle Electrolytic Tilt Sensor Actual Size Dimensional Drawings When using an excitation circuit not designed by The Fredericks Company, ensure that no direct current is passed through the sensor. Direct current will lead to sensor damage, output drift, and general The 0703-0711-99 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, isolate the sensor from vibrations when mounting it. Further information on sensor fundamentals is provided on The...
