The ZEROTRONIC Sensor, the design and the digital measuring principle The sensors of the ZEROTRONIC family have a digital inclination sensor and a digital data transmission. Working digitally, they provide the option to compensate for temperature changes and allow data communication over long distances without any loss of data. The combination of all these features ensures that these sensors fulfil highest requirements regarding precision, resolution, sensitivity and temperature stability. ZEROTRONIC-sensors have established themselves in the market as the benchmark when it comes to high precision...

- Voltage stabilisator with Level-Shifter - Digital frequency counter Pendulum _ Calibration data memory - Asynchronous serial port Mounting bracket MEASURING RANGES The ZEROTRONIC-Sensors is available in six basic versions in respect of measuring ranges: • ZERO 0.5; Measuring Range ±0.5 Deg. • ZERO 1; Measuring Range ±1 Deg. • ZERO 10; Measuring Range ±10 Deg. • ZERO 30; Measuring Range ±30 Deg. • ZERO 45; Measuring Range ±45 Deg. • ZERO 60; Measuring Range ±60 Deg. The high stability and accuracy of the ZEROTRONIC-sensors is among others based on the fact that only one single oscillator is...

The following list of characteristics should allow a proper differentiation and proper application of the 2 sensors: 1.3 ZEROTRONIC Type 3 • High resolution, high precision for inclinations up to 10° • Excellent signal to noise ratio Some typical applications for the ZEROTRONIC Type 3 Applications, where high precision and high resolution is first priority and where only small inclinations are measured: • Adjustment of machines (e.g. pitch and roll) • Precise adjustment of absolute zero • Precise measurement of small inclinations in heavy duty environment; e.g. exposure to outside temperature...

CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS Each single sensor is individually calibrated over the complete measuring range as well as over the complete temperature range the sensor is going to be used. These calibration values are stored as reference points in the EPROM of the sensor. Two temperature calibrations are available: The standard temperature calibration is well suited for sensors which are used in a typical laboratory or a machine shop environment: Temperatures around 20° C and slow temperature changes. The HTR (High temperature range) calibration is suited for those sensors which are exposed...

1.9 Standard.configurations with ZEROTRONIC-Sensors The customer buys the ZEROTRINIC-sensor and is responsible for the signal treatment by himself. This means the customer is using the own developed software. In order to be able to do so the respective sensor specifications are described in this chapter. ZEROTRONIC-sensors connected directly to a LEVELMETER 2000 Connection through cable ZEROTRONIC-sensors connected directly to a BlueMETER SIGMA Connection through cable ZEROTRONIC-sensors connected to a PC/Laptop on RS485-Bus through one or more Transceiver/Converters (T/C). Analyze of measuring results...

Connection through cable ZEROTRONIC-sensors connected to a PC/Laptop through two or more BlueTC. The BlueTC is used as interface for data transmission through cable or wireless connection. To each BlueTC up to 8 sensors may be connected. In total the system can handle 64 addresses. Because every TC also uses one address a total of 56 sensors can be connected (64 minus 8 BlueTC addresses). Analyze of measuring results utilizing software LabEXCEL. Connection through wireless data transmission

Short description of the measurement analysis Important: Before starting any precision measurement the ZEROTRONIC sensor should be powered for at least 15 minutes. This is to avoid a possible start-up drift of the electronic components (warm up period). 2.1 WyBus Module 2.1.1 WyBus-Development-Kit For users who would like to define and program their own measuring software for WYLER inclination sensors, WYLER AG provides a WyBus-development-kit with self-explaining samples. An essential part of these examples is a WyBus core (a *.dll-file) allowing a standardised and simplified communication...
