Portable Digital Tiltmeter Soil Instruments

The Portable Digital Tiltmeter is used to measure the angular difference between the sensor’s axis when held or placed on the X and Y planes of the tiltplate. Tiltplates are installed either horizontally or vertically on the structure to be monitored and a datum reading is taken from which all subsequent are then compared.

Housed within the unit is a MEMS accelerometer that measures the angular position of the Tilt plate and a Bluetooth transmitter that transfers data to the Field PC, resulting in a wireless connection between the instrument and the Field PC.

The Field PC is supplied with Soil Instruments ‘Tilt-Port’ software, which permits the individual setup of each tiltplate for easy identification during reading sets. Readings can then be acquired using a remote handheld activator (Key Fob) to record each tiltplate reading, allowing a history of the movement to be quickly and easily acquired.
