| New line of Rieker rugged inclinometers Rieker Electronics introduces an improved line of rugged inclinometers designed for off-road forklifts, material handlers, and equipment with aerial booms. The H4 Series provide single axis inclination sensing in a rugged environmentally protected Zinc metal housing. Available with 0-5V Analog or Digital Serial Outputs, the unit incorporates a liquid capacitive sensing element for exceptional vibration damping with integrated temperature compensation. Depending on the required accuracy, two levels of temperature compensation are available. Angle ranges are ±30º, ±45º, and ±70º. The H4's Serial Output transmits the angle, in decimal format, in a continuous stream of readings - 250msec per reading, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The H4 has a common footprint making it easy to retrofit or field-replace less durable sensors. Applications include boom angle indication and platform leveling - built for rugged harsh environments to provide accurate angle monitoring. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
