AccuStar® Sherborne Sensors Electronic Clinometer the,iratchoice in precision The Accustar® Electronic Clinometer is an extremely accurate angle measurement device. This compact and rugged sensor is ideal where space is critical and environmental conditions are serious design The heart of the system is a patented, capacitance based sensor without any moving parts. When rotated about its sensitive axis, this unique sensor provides a linear variation in capacitance, which is electronically converted into angular data. The sensor and low-power CMOS electronics are encased in a rugged plastic housing. Designed for easy integration, with a choice of analog, ratiometric, digital or serial models, the clinometer produces an output signal corresponding to direction and magnitude of angular displacement. The Accustar® Electronic Clinometer complies with □ Stadium loudspeaker positioning □ Tilt safety systems Ratiometric Output Analog Output Serial Data Output □ Ideal for noisy environments Digital Pulse Width Output □ Pulse width output In North America call toll free: 1-877-486-1766 S Fax 1 -201 -847-1394 Email: nasales(S),sherbornesensors.com Email salestgisherbornesensors.com M website: www.sherbornesensors.com

Detailed Specifications Output Variant Digital Pulse Width Output Ratiometric Output Scale Factor Load Resistance Zero degree angle output Serial Data Output The ratiometric clinometer is a signalconditioned sensor that has been designed to operate like a potentiometer. This is a 3-wire device: power, power ground and signal; the signal is referenced to power ground. A regulated supply is required since the output is supply dependent. The mid scale output, zero degrees, is ½ the supply voltage whilst the scale factor is also supply dependent. With its low power consumption of 0.5mA, this device...
