Applied Measurement Australia Pty Ltd. announces that it distributes the newly released AccuStar®-EA Electronic Clinometer designed and manufactured by TE Connectivity.

The AccuStar®-EA Electronic Clinometer is the next generation in the highly acclaimed AccuStar® family. Building on the success of the original AccuStar®, the AccuStar®-EA takes low cost tilt sensing to the next level by combining 100% solid state technology with digital calibration and proprietary filtering techniques. The result is an extremely accurate tilt sensor with improved linearity, expanded linear sensing range (±60o), generous operating temperature range (-40° to +80°C), and a 70% reduction in temperature induced errors.

FEATURES

  • ±60 deg linear sensing range
  • Single-Ended and Bipolar DC models
  • High accuracy / low cost
  • Lightweight and compact
  • Rugged plastic housing
  • CE certified

Like its predecessor, the AccuStar®-EA measures just 2 inches in diameter, making this compact and affordable sensor the ideal choice where high accuracy tilt measurements are required in space restrictive applications. The AccuStar®-EA mounts easily onto any vertical surface using just two #6 or M3.5 screws. The slot at the base allows for fine adjustment of the zero angle position after installation. With a choice of either Single-Ended or Bipolar DC output models, with +0.5 to +4.5VDC and -3.6 to +3.6VDC respectively. The AccuStar® -EA is designed for easy installation and integration.
