Industrial - Accelerometer, Tilt Detect

Industrial-grade (NEMA-rated enclosure). The Wireless Accelerometer - Tilt Detection Sensor is a digital, low-power, low-profile, MEMS sensor that can measure acceleration on one axis to provide a measure of the pitch.

Overview

The Wireless Accelerometer - Tilt Detection Sensor is a digital, low-power, low-profile, MEMS sensor that can measure acceleration on one axis to provide a measure of the pitch. The sensor constantly monitors a single axis of rotation over a range of -179.9 to +180.0 degrees. The data is displayed in degrees with 0.1° of resolution. If the sensor does not experience a detectable orientation change, the sensor will produce a current report at a time interval (defined by the user). If an orientation change is detected, the sensor will report immediately. User-configurable angles are used to define regions for “Up”, “Down, and “Stuck”. Data is reported when the sensor moves between these regions.

How They Work

  1. The sensor measures accelerometers & vibration data using its integrated sensing element at configurable intervals.
  2. Readings are transmitted wirelessly via the protocol to the UpKeep Edge gateway with Encrypt-RF security.
  3. UpKeep Edge processes incoming data in real time, comparing readings against user-defined alert thresholds.
  4. When thresholds are breached, instant notifications are sent via text, email, or phone call to designated team members.
  5. All data is logged for historical trending, compliance reporting, and predictive maintenance analysis.
