BEI Sensors Heavy Duty Inclinometers User Manual
HEAVY DUTY INCLINOMETER
ANALOG & RS232 INTERFACE
The Heavy Duty inclinometers are robust inclination sensors specially designed for applications involving
rough handling and exposure to rigorous conditions. The die cast aluminium housing and the metal
connector enhance the mechanical strength of the sensor and make it ideal for heavy duty usage.
