Horizontal In-Place-Inclinometer

HORIZONTAL In-Place-Inclinometer

Keynes Controls manufactures a range of inclinometers used to measure horizontal movement. The sensors are single axis and support SDI12, RS485 and MODBUS networks.

1 = Y Axis   2 = X Axis  3 = Angular Movement

Part Number:  IPI-S-H-15-SDI12

Fixed Offset Inclinometer

Fixed Offset In-Place-Inclinometer

Keynes Controls can supply sensors with a fixed offset angle. Available options are 30, 45 and 60 Degree.

The offset angle inclinometers are often supplied as single axis instruments only

Communications options are SDI12, RS485 and MODBUS.

1 = Y Axis  2 = X Axis    3 = Angle Offset

4 = Angular Movement

Part Number:   IPI-S-AX-SDI12 X=30, 45, 60

Additional Information

The optional Keynes Controls manufactured USB media converters can be used to connect an instrument, or instrument string directly to a Windows PC for setup and testing.

Inclinometer Connection to Wi-Fi

The image opposite shows how to connect the RS485 version inclinometers to a Windows PC using a Wi-Fi network and the free issue Keynes Q-LOG Software

The Keynes Control range of USB media converters can be used to connect intelligent sensors such as the In-Place-Inclinometers to a PC.

USB Connection to a Windows PC

Keynes Controls manufactures a range of USB media converters that can be used to connect an inclinometer, or inclinometer chain to a Windows PC. When used with the Q-LOG software the sensors can be configured, make test measurements and display results,

Free Windows Applications Software

The Q-LOG applications software can be used with the In-Place-Inclinometers to make test measurements, Configuration changes, Display and Store results in a series of charts and panel meters.

A Virtual COMM port feature is included enables the software to take measurements from the Inclinometers across a Wi-FI or LAN network.
