Rion LCA341&LCA342 angle level switch

Product catalog summary
General Description: The LCA341/342 is a low-cost tilt switch designed for applications such as level safety alarming and platform level monitoring. It features a relay output circuit with a pre-set alarm threshold. When the inclination exceeds this threshold, it outputs a relay signal to activate safety mechanisms like solenoid valves or alarms. The device is designed for dual or single-axis inclination monitoring and includes temperature and linearity compensation, as well as protection against short-circuits, high voltage, and surges.
Features: The tilt switch offers single/dual axis measurement with an accuracy of 0.1°, RS232 alarm angle setting, and a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C. It has a resolution of 0.01°, IP67 protection, high anti-vibration capability, and a zero set function. The device operates on a DC 9-36V input.
Applications: It is suitable for use in engineering vehicles, bridge and dam detection, aerial platform safety, medical facilities, underground drilling, and various machinery like excavators and cranes.
Specifications: The device measures angles up to ±15° with a resolution of 0.05° and an accuracy of 0.1°. It has a long-term stability of 0.05° and a response time of 0.2 seconds. The device is compliant with EN61000 and GBT17626 standards, has an MTBF of ≥98000 hours, and offers impact resistance of 100g@11ms.
Ordering Information: The product can be ordered with specific configurations such as single or dual-axis output and different alarm threshold values. The default alarm threshold is ±2°.
Mechanical Parameters: The device is housed in an aluminum oxide enclosure with IP67 protection and is installed using 4 M4 screws. It includes a 1m lead cable, which can be customized.
Electrical Connection: The device supports various output configurations and requires proper connection of RXD and TXD lines for setting alarm thresholds via computer software.
Working Principle: The tilt switch operates by activating internal switches when the tilt reaches preset thresholds in the X or Y directions. The device can be set to a relative zero position by short-circuiting specific lines.
Product Size and Installation: The device measures L60 x W60 x H36mm and must be installed parallel to the measured surface to avoid errors. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, with specific considerations for single-axis measurements.
Debugging Software: RION provides software for changing alarm thresholds and monitoring angles. The software connects via a serial port and requires specific commands to set thresholds.
Communication Protocol: The device uses an ASCII code format for angle output and supports commands for setting relative zero and alarm points for both X and Y axes.
