Sensor Description
The H6 Flex™ inclinometer provides highly accurate, dual axis inclination over a range of ±180°. These sensors
incorporate MEMS accelerometers referenced to gravity with integrated temperature compensation over the
full industrial operating range of -40° to +85°C for absolute accuracy. They have both digital RS485 and analog
outputs. Both outputs are linear with respect to the input angle directly.
The digital RS485 output uses two-wire, half duplex communication, along with a Rieker specific protocol. This
protocol can be used to measure the angle of both axes, as well as configure the various digital and analog
parameters of the sensor.
The H6 provides two continuous, fully configurable, analog outputs. These outputs can be individually set to
current, voltage or open collector switch modes. Each analog output can be mapped to either axis.
The voltage output can be set to any value between 0V and 10V and to any angle range between ±180°. The
current output can be set to any value between 0mA and 24mA and to any angle range between ±180°. The
open collector switch output connects to signal common and can be set to trip above, below, between, or
outside any angle threshold or window range. Each open collector switch can drive up to 250mA (to be used
directly or to drive an external relay).
Also as an optional enhancement, the H6 has to ability to log angle data to a microSD card.
