About the C801 “Tuff Tilt 420”
– 4–20 mA Tiltmeter (IP65) for precise tilt measurement over long cable runs
The C801 “Tuff Tilt 420” is a single- or dual-axis inclinometer featuring a 4–20 mA, 2-wire current loop output (per axis)—ideal for PLC/industrial integration and long cable distances with minimal signal loss. An on-board thermistor is included for temperature measurement. With an IP65 enclosure rating, the unit is well suited for demanding environments.
Features
- Output: 4–20 mA 2-wire current loop (per axis)
- Axes: 1 or 2 (uniaxial/biaxial)
- Ranges: ±0.5°, ±3°, ±50°
- High resolution:
- 0.0001° at ±0.5°
- 0.0006° at ±3°
- 0.01° at ±50°
- Temperature channel: integrated thermistor (measurement range −50 to +150 °C)
- Rugged for field & industry: IP65, operating −40 to +85 °C
- Designed for long runs: 4–20 mA for noise-immune transmission
Typical applications
- Structural monitoring (structures/industrial assets)
- Platform leveling
- Industrial measurement & control
- Installations with long cable runs (e.g., outdoor sites, large machines/structures)
