LORD MicroStrain FAS-A® Inclinometer Inclinometer

Accelerometer-Based System,Overview,The FAS-A® Inclinometer is designed to provide 1- and 2-axis static and quasi-dynamic orientation measurements. It includes 3 accelerometers and an on-board microprocessor,embedded software algorithms,non-volatile memory for configuration and serial communication interface. Its form factor,rated temperature range and power requirements are optimized for a wide range of applications. FAS-A® outputs one 360° roll axis or two +\/-70° pitch and roll axes.,the FAS-A® inclinometer was originally sold as a starter kit with directional module,RS-232 communication and power cables,universal wall transformer power supply,software CD,user manual and quick start,the FAS-A® inclinometer is factory calibrated and ready for use while powered. FAS-A® comes with easy-to-use Microsoft Windows software that allows users to initialize,configure and operate the instrument,graphically view real-time measurement results,and write data to files for post-processing. For those users,integrators or OEMs developing their own applications,FAS-A® comes with a complete data communications protocol,providing developers with a complete instrument command set. Applications of your own design can be easily developed in any coding and on any computing platform,inc microprocessors.,when output in single-axis mode,the FAS-A® provides 360° measurements about its rolling axis. When output in dual-axis mode,the FAS-A® provides measurements of +\/-70° regarding its pitch and roll axes.,the FAS-A® requires +5.2 to +12.0 Volts DC to operate and can be powered by a wall transformer,battery,or any other capable power source. The housing provides 2-hole mounting bosses. Custom communications and power cables can be factory-made or purchased by the user.,features and benefits,best in class,easy to use,affordable
