DOG1 MEMS-Series Inclinometer

Range ±180° single axis Easy to use voltage output Supply voltage 8-30V High resolution

The single axis inclinometer 
is mainly developed for vehicle and tool position monitoring. A fast response time and good accuracy makes this device the ideal choice for mobile leveling applications. It features digital signal processing including temperature compensation. The integrated filter improves performance
and allows a use of the sensor in many noisy environments (e.g. vibrations).

Features

• 8-30V supply voltage (5V on request)
• Up to +/-90 degree tolerance on 2nd axis
• Digital signal processing includes
  • filter (e.g. vibration damping)
  • temperature compensation
• 12 bit resolution
• High refresh rate
• -40°C to +85°C temperature range
• Accuracy typically better than
  • 0.2° at +25°C
  • 0.6° (-40°C to +85°C)

Applications

• Platform leveling
• Truck and off-road vehicle cabin or tool leveling
• Crane boom leveling
• Tilt alarm, e.g. digger
• Antenna leveling
• Inclination dependent engine control
