H603 Intrinsically safe large angle tilt sensor

Compact tilt sensor with high precision and intrinsic safety, ideal for hazardous environments and OEM integration.


Key features

  • Intrinsically safe for gas and dust zones
  • Wide angle range up to 160°
  • Rugged stainless steel housing
  • IP67 environmental sealing
  • Factory-set calibration per request
  • High accuracy and repeatability

Performance highlights of this tilt sensor

The H603 is a robust, non-contact tilt sensor offering a wide angular measurement range between 15° and 160°. It provides a linear analog output (0.5–4.5 V) and is engineered with non-contact inductive technology for maximum durability. Its exceptional repeatability, low hysteresis (<±0.25°), and excellent temperature stability make it ideal for demanding applications.

Usage conditions

This sensor is certified for hazardous environments (Class I, Division 1 / Zone 0), operates from -40°C to +80°C, and is built into a rugged IP67 stainless steel housing with M12 connector or pre-wired cable options.

Possible applications

  • Offshore drilling rigs
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Industrial machinery monitoring
  • Mobile equipment feedback
  • Mining operations
  • OEM system integration

Advantages of choosing this product

By combining ATEX-rated safety with high precision and long-term stability, the H603 is the optimal solution for angle measurement in critical environments. Its flange mount design, custom calibration range, and compatibility with galvanic isolation amplifiers simplify integration and enhance reliability.
