Accurate and Easy-to-Use Inclinometer

The F203-00A-212-00 dual-axis digital and analog inclinometer makes measuring tilt easy, fast, and accurate. This inclinometer is perfect for monitoring if buildings or tunnels are structurally safe, for railway monitoring, or precise leveling equipment. With a measurement range of ±3°, it offers precise and dependable tilt readings using either analog outputs (0 to 5 volts) or digital communications (RS-232), making it easy to connect with many different systems.

This inclinometer utilizes two Fredericks 0703-0712-99 narrow-range single-axis electrolytic tilt sensors. These tilt sensors are mounted on a 1-6200-012 16-bit analog and RS-232 signal conditioner. Together, they provide extremely accurate measurements, exceptional stability, and very little drift. Unlike MEMS sensors, these electrolytic sensors stay stable and reliable over time, making the F203-00A-212-00 perfect for critical jobs needing consistent accuracy.

Built for Dependability and Simplicity

At The Fredericks Company, we carefully manufacture every tilt sensor, inclinometer, and switch to ensure consistent, high-quality performance. Our careful manufacturing process ensures that every inclinometer is precise, reliable, and meets high industry standards. This attention to detail helps our products stand apart from others, ensuring you receive reliable measurements every time.

The F203-00A-212-00 is designed to be simple to use. It connects easily with an 8-pin connector. Once connected, users can quickly get the raw values for each axis or change settings using simple RS-232 commands using a serial terminal like our web serial terminal. The inclinometer supports different baud rates from 9600 to 115200, allowing easy integration into various systems.

To help our customers, we provide many helpful resources directly on our website, including application notes, STEP files, and online tools. Whether you are new to using inclinometers or an experienced professional, you will find these resources valuable and easy to use.

Compact and Versatile for the Most Demanding Applications

The F203-00A-212-00 digital and analog inclinometer is versatile and suitable for many applications. Engineers and construction workers use it to ensure the safety of buildings, bridges, and important structures. Its high accuracy makes it great for precisely leveling construction tools, significantly improving project quality and reliability.

In hospitals and clinics, this inclinometer helps accurately position medical equipment, ensuring patient safety and improving treatment results. Scientists also trust this device for research and projects where very accurate tilt measurements are needed.

Despite its powerful features, this inclinometer is compact and lightweight, measuring only 45mm by 45mm by 11mm and weighing just 20 grams. Its small size makes installation easy on all types of equipment, from large machinery to delicate instruments. It works reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 50 °C, making it suitable for any environment.

Exceptional Accuracy and Reliability

The F203-00A-212-00 inclinometer gives highly accurate tilt measurements, with precision as good as ±0.001° and excellent repeatability. It maintains stable performance over time, even when temperature changes, with very little drift (null temperature coefficient ≤0.0005° per °C).

This inclinometer runs efficiently on 7 to 16 volts DC and uses less than 10 mA of current, making it ideal for any application. For best results, it should be mounted horizontally and isolated from vibrations.
