About the MD900-T (900 Series)
– cost-effective digital 2-axis clinometer for precise tilt measurement
The MD900-T Digital Clinometer (900 Series) is a biaxial (2-axis) digital inclinometer that combines strong price/performance, robust system integration, and flexible configuration. With powerful firmware features, it is ideal for pitch/roll measurements, leveling tasks, and monitoring applications in industrial and geotechnical environments.
Key benefits
- 2-axis inclination measurement for reliable pitch/roll readings
- Comprehensive, programmable firmware, including AUTO-Zero (Tare), adjustable baud rate & output rate, sample averaging, and additional settings
- Digital interfaces for system integration: RS-232 or RS-422 (RS-485 full-duplex)
- GPS-compatible output formats/protocols, supporting Trimble TCM, NMEA XDR, BAE, and Ashtech
- Fast setup: standard delivery includes a 6-ft connection cable and a 100–240 VAC power transformer
Typical applications
- Structural and geotechnical monitoring (e.g., tilt/settlement)
- Antenna positioning / leveling
- Industrial test & measurement and integration into serial/GPS environments
- Marine applications (surface/subsea)
Technical overview
- Output: RS-232 or RS-422 (RS-485 full-duplex)
- Firmware features: AUTO-Zero (Tare), baud/output rate, sample averaging, etc.
- Protocols: Trimble TCM, NMEA XDR, BAE, Ashtech
- Scope of delivery: 6-ft cable + 100–240 VAC power transformer
