Biaxial Force Balance Inclinometers

The Columbia Models SI-702AI and SI-702AIHP are biaxial force balance inclinometers with a 4–20 mA data transmission output circuit. The 4–20 mA system is widely used in industrial settings to send data over long distances in areas where interference from surrounding electrical power lines is a concern.

Both the sensor and the 4–20 mA line driver are powered by a single +15 volt supply. These devices can deliver reliable tilt data even in high-vibration conditions thanks to special desensitization circuitry. The SI-702BI and SI-702BIHP Biaxial Inclinometers have similar features and provide an output voltage as well as current.
