GPS Inclinometer

Product info

GPS inclinometer is a new attitude measurement product, creatively designed by Vigor. It combines a GPS module and unique tilt measurement technology, not only providing roll & pitch angle data, but also position, time, and speed information. It meets the requirement that many sensors work synchronically in static situations, and provides positioning and synchronization in dynamic situations.

Local latitude & longitude information are provided by the internal GPS module, and the inclinometer can use these to adjust the gravity acceleration value automatically to ensure accurate tilt angle data. With the GPS information, end-users can install many sensors in proper places to realize attitude monitoring of mountains or other fields.

GPS inclinometer adds a time-stamp to angle data; 30 ns accuracy can meet most data synchronization analysis and acquisition requirements.

For mobile devices, GPS inclinometer provides high-accuracy X & Y axis angle data, as well as latitude & longitude data, sea level elevation, and moving speed. If GPS base stations are available, it can realize 40 cm positioning accuracy. For more details, please contact Shanghai Vigor.

Key capabilities

• ±0.02%FS linearity
• ±0.005° offset and local gravity acceleration automatically compensated via GPS latitude & longitude data, for high accuracy at zero and over a wide range
• No location limit — synchronize multiple GPS inclinometers and other equipment by GPS clock
• Further confirmed offset, repeatability, hysteresis, turn-on repeatability, etc., as key factors for total performance evaluation
• Enhanced intelligent algorithms drastically reduce cross-axis error and upgrade true tilt accuracy
• Patent error calculation and calibration method greatly improves real tilt accuracy and reliability
• Reduced measuring errors when the real tilt direction is not consistent with the sensor’s sensitive axis
• Short-circuit, transient voltage, overheat, and transposition protection for industrial environments
• User-configurable parameters and factory data query

Applications:
Agricultural & construction machinery, Trucks, Buses, Trains
Other outdoor ground mobile devices
Track inspection instruments, field geological exploration
Instruments and other operation equipment
Field synchronous test systems (rely on tilt angle & PPS clock)
Vessel and other marine equipment
Geological disaster long-term monitoring systems
