Inclination and Tilt Sensors prevent heavy equipment from tipping.
2016-01-29 14:31:06| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
As IP67-rated inclinometers with integrated RS-232 interface and flying lead cable, MTLT series operates from single 9–32 V supply and utilize MEMS sensors, over temperature calibration, and SmartSensing™ technology. Programmable tilt alarms, also included, can be used to lock out controls or trigger alarm or warning light. Respectively, models MTLT105S and MTLT110S are designed for applications needing <0.5° and <1.0° accuracy over full operating temperature range.
