The digital measuring principle
The pendulum, suspended by the Archimedes helical spring, is mounted between two electrodes. Depending on the inclined position of the system, the pendulum will swing out of the zero-position and by that, changing the capacity between the pendulum and the two electrodes. These capacities will be transformed into different frequencies through the RC-oscillator. The ratio of the two frequencies available will be used as the primary signal for detecting the required angle. (The system is patent protected in most countries)
WK-34-5116 CLINOTRONIC 15 / +CLINOTRONIC PLUS+
The CLINOTRONIC is a, handy, universal electronic inclinometer with unsurpassed versatility. Contained in the rugged and compact housing are: the precision inclination sensor, the custom developed micro processor, the large LCD display unit, the operating elements and the interface socket.

The Clinotronic provides a measuring capacity of +/- 45 degree or alternatively +/- 10 degrees respectively +/-30 degrees. Four precisely machined exterior reference surfaces assure accuracy and repeatability of measurements in any quadrant. Selected by push-button, any units suitable for inclination may be applied to the display. Even slope indication based on a relative base of selectable length is possible. Simple push-button operation, automatically sets absolute as well as relative zero. The interface socket (RS 232) provided, will connect to a printer or by special cable directly to a PC.

Features:
Useful for mobile application, compact, stand alone instrument, battery driven, not sensitive to magnetic field.

The following types are available:

  • Measuring range ± 10 Degrees
