Product catalog summary
Specifications
The LCH-A-D is a low-cost dual-axis inclinometer with a sealed aluminum housing, offering dual-axis measurement with a full-scale range from ±10° to ±60°. It features a solid-state MEMS sensor with 0-5V or 0-10V analog output for each channel, a frequency response of 1Hz, and is sealed to IP67 standards. The device is factory-configurable and suitable for various applications, including PV solar trackers, security systems, and vehicle tilt monitoring.

Applications
Key applications include platform leveling, GPS compensation, agricultural vehicle monitoring, and more. The inclinometer can be customized for specific needs.

Features
Notable features include a small size (46 x 39 x 10.5mm), PUR cable for outdoor use, and a robust design that withstands mechanical shocks up to 3000g.

Technical Parameters
Supply voltage ranges from 7-30V, with an operating current of 15mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -40 to 85°C and offers a resolution of 0.05° at 1Hz bandwidth. It has a long-term stability of 0.1° over one year.

Voltage Output and Angle Measurement
The inclinometer measures changes in gravitational effects on a proof mass to derive angles, with two perpendicular sensing elements for X and Y axes. The output voltage changes linearly with angle variations, with specific scale factors and zero output voltages for different models.

Part Numbering and Product Options
Part numbers indicate full-scale measurement range and output voltage range. Options include factory modifications for output voltage range, frequency response, and cable length.

Connection Details
The device uses a 4-conductor cable with tin-plated copper wires and a black PUR jacket, suitable for outdoor use. The cable is flame retardant, UV stable, and resistant to various environmental factors.

Certification
The product complies with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and is tested to BS EN61326-1:2006 and BS EN55011:2007 standards.

LCH-A-D : Low Cost Dual Axis Inclinometer 0-10V Output-3

All inclinometers measure a change in the effect of the gravitational field on a proof mass to derive angle. As the inclinometer sensor is rotated, the sensing element is subject to gravitational forces which move the proof mass, and this movement is detected and measured. In this inclinometer there are two sensing elements mounted perpendicular to one another so that the device can measure both the X and Y axis simultaneously. Internally these two sensors are measured and a processor derives the angular position. This angle is then converted to a voltage which is linear with the change in angle....
