Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model A603 High-Precision Platform-Mount Tiltmeter by Jewell Instruments is designed to replace the obsolete 520M model. It features leveling worm-gear feet, switchable gains, and low-pass filter settings. The device uses an absolute gravity-referenced electrolytic sensor for ultra-high sensitivity and minimal long-term drift, making it ideal for applications such as volcano monitoring, geotechnical engineering, and precision metrology.

Model 603 Tiltmeter Datasheet-1

Model A603 High-Precision Platform-Mount Tiltmeter The model A603 platform mount tiltmeter is our new model designed to fill the gap left by the obsoleted 520M. Units come with the same leveling worm-gear feet that were on the 520M. The A603 also includes two switchable gains and two low-pass filter settings. Using an absolute gravity referenced electrolytic sensor, the A603 delivers ultra-high sensitivity to <2.5 nrad with virtually zero long-term drift. Output is a stable ±8 DC voltage (±16 VDC differential). Rugged, reliable, and extremely accurate, the A603 is the preferred choice for volcano monitoring, high-precision geotechnical engineering, precision metrology, radar platform leveling, and high-accuracy tilt monitoring applications worldwide.
