Sherborne Sensors LSOC/LSOP 'L' Series DC-Operated, Gravity-Referenced Servo Servo Inclinometer with 4-20mA Output

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Schaevitz LSOC/LSOP 'L' is a DC-operated, gravity-referenced servo inclinometer designed for precise angle measurement with a 4 to 20mA output. It is suitable for both commercial and military applications, offering a range of ±3° to ±90° and capable of withstanding harsh conditions.

Features

Self-contained system requiring only a DC power source and a readout/control device.
Output is proportional to the sine of the tilt angle.
Rugged design capable of withstanding 1500g shock.

Applications

Geophysical and civil engineering studies, such as bore-hole mapping and dam monitoring.
Marine applications including ballast transfer systems.
Construction control systems like pipeline leveling and crane alarms.
Large machinery installation and electronic leveling.

Electrical Connections

Pin A: Supply 20-30Vdc
Pin B: 0V common
Pin D: Output 4-20mA

Environmental Characteristics

Operating Temperature: -18°C to 70°C
Survival Temperature: -40°C to 70°C
Shock Survival: 1500g, 0.5msec, ½ sine
Vibration Endurance: 35g rms, 20 Hz to 2000 Hz
Environmental Sealing: IP65

Specifications by Range

Excitation Voltage: 20 to 30 Volts DC
Current Consumption: 35 mA (nominal)
Output Load Resistance: Max 400 Ohms
Non-Linearity: Max 0.08% FRO for ±3° and ±90° ranges
