Summary: The most expensive mistakes in a tilt monitoring system are usually not made by the sensor, but by the threshold written into the software...

Summary: A single-axis tilt sensor measures tilt along one defined direction; a dual-axis sensor measures two orthogonal directions (X and Y, pitch...
Read More » Summary: The measuring range of a tilt sensor should be sized to the angle the application actually sees, not chosen as large as possible. Structur...

Summary: A tilt sensor is only as useful as its output, because the output decides which controller, PLC, data logger or network it can join. Four-...

Summary: Portable probes and in-place inclinometers (IPIs) both measure the tilt profile of a casing grouted into soil or a structure, but they ans...

Summary: For a wireless sensor, sleep current dominates battery life — a sensor spending 99% of its time in deep sleep uses almost all its energy i...

Summary: The IP (Ingress Protection) code, defined by IEC 60529, uses two digits: the first (0–6) rates protection against solids and dust, the sec...

Summary: Accuracy and resolution are different parameters — resolution is the smallest change a sensor can detect, while accuracy is how close the ...
Read More » Summary: MEMS tilt sensors are the right choice for most structural monitoring projects: they offer adequate resolution (0.001°–0.01°), excellent v...
