Accustar Electronic Clinometer

This particular angle measurement device is an extremely accurate, compact and rugged sensor that has been designed for applications where space is critical and environmental conditions are serious enough for design concerns. The Accustar® Electronic Clinometer complies with International EMC and EMI Standards and is CE marked. The heart of the system is a patented, capacitance based sensor without any moving parts. When rotated about its sensitive axis, this unique sensor provides a linear variation in capacitance, which is electronically converted into angular data. The sensor and low-power CMOS electronics are encased in a rugged plastic housing. Designed for easy integration, with a choice of analog, ratiometric, digital or serial models, the clinometer produces an output signal corresponding to direction and magnitude of angular displacement.
