Inclination sensor
Description
Inclination sensors of model N131C for hazardous areas are designed with a flameproof enclosure and, for instance, intended for applications in offshore areas, for maritime applications and for the oil and gas industry.
The fields of application for these sensors are diverse. Due to the flameproof enclosure they fulfil the ignition protection type Ex d. Inclination sensors with flameproof enclosure are used in offshore plants for oil and gas extraction.

Inclination sensor, model N131C
The sensors have a measuring range of up to 360° and offer an extraordinarily high accuracy and precision over the entire measuring range. Other measuring ranges, customer-specific as well, are also possible. The measured value resolution is 0.01°.
Special features
- Measuring range 0 ... 360°
- Relative linearity error < 0.1 % of FS over the entire measuring range
- Good damping behaviour, no influence due to gravity
- Resistant to seawater, IP67
- Easy retrofitting
