Tilt Box (Biaxial MEMS) | Model 6191

  • Model 6191 MEMS Addressable Tilt Sensor.
  • String of interconnected Model 6191 MEMS Addressable Tilt Sensors.
SKU:
Model 6191

The Model 6191 MEMS Addressable Tilt Box is designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, and for the subsequent measurement of any tilting that may occur. The sensor itself is a Biaxial MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) tilt sensor, which offers a high range, with high sensitivity and accuracy. The Model 6191 includes a mounting bracket, which is bolted to the structure of interest using the supplied hardware.

The tilt sensors can be ordered as standalone units or combined into strings, and are connected to each other by means of a four-wire bus cable, with waterproof connectors. The industry standard Modbus® Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) protocol is used to communicate. Automated monitoring is accomplished using any of the GeoNet Addressable Loggers, 8600 Series Dataloggers, Campbell Scientific Dataloggers or any other device capable of being a Modbus RTU client and having an RS-485 port.
