  Large Angle Tilt Sensors-MI-3180-P603
 
 

Microcomm's Large Angle Tilt Sensors Series MI-3180-P603 are affordable, durable, accurate inductive tilt sensors for industrial and scientific feedback applications.

P603 sensors are; available with calibrated angles of tilt from 30 up to 160°, easy to install and set up and provide a linear output characteristic with angle of tilt. Using Positek's PIPS ® technology, inductive printed circuit board coil with advanced ASIC electronic technology and oil damped pendulum, the sensors DC analogue output signal represents absolute position and is available immediately on power up. A range of factory set electrical output options are available, including 4-20mA current loop, without the need for a separate interface card.

Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range; excellent frequency response and no wearing contacts they have major advantages over RVDT or potentiometer based devices.

This robust stainless steel and aluminium sensor is flange mounted, with a connector, sealed to IP67 and has full EMC protection built in.

  Miniature Tilt and Vibration Sensors-MI-3180-SQ-SEN-001P / 1PS
 
 

Microcomm's Miniature Tilt and Vibration Sensors Series MI-3180-SQ-SEN-001P/1PS will produce continuous on-off contact closures when in motion. When at rest, it will either settle in an open or closed state. It is sensitive to both tilt (static acceleration) and vibration (dynamic acceleration). The sensor can be easily used to produce a series of CMOS or TTL level logic pulses using a single resistor to limit current. This signal can be used to interrupt (wake up) a microcontroller or can be counted to estimate the amount and duration of activity. The sensor is fully passive, requires no signal conditioning, and can be easily used in a microcontroller interrupt circuit that draws 0.25uA of continuous current.

 
 
Features:  
  • Lowest cost sensor of its kind
  • Ultra low power - 0.25 uA in a typical application
    circuit
  • Compact size
  • Both tilt and vibration sensing
  • Gold plating reduces corrosion and contact resistance
    and limits “welding effect”
  • Sealed version ruggedized for wave or reflow
    soldering
  • Precision designed for high sensitivity
  • High reliability and long life
  • No signal conditioning required to interface with a
    microcontroller

  Omnidirectional Tilt and Vibration Sensors-MI-3180-SQ-SEN-003P / 3PS / 3PS-XL
 
 

Microcomm's Omnidirectional Tilt and Vibration Sensors Series MI-3180-SQ-SEN-003P/3PS/3PS-XL are truly omnidirectional motion sensors. The sensor will produce continuous on-off contact closures when in motion. When at rest, it will either settle in an open or closed state. It is sensitive to both tilt (static acceleration) and vibration (dynamic acceleration). The sensor can be easily used to produce a series of CMOS or TTL level logic pulses using a single resistor to limit current. This signal can be used to interrupt (wake up) a microcontroller or can be counted to estimate the amount and duration of activity. The sensor is fully passive, requires no signal conditioning, and can be easily used in a microcontroller interrupt circuit that draws 0.25uA of continuous current.

 
 
Features:  
  • Lowest cost sensor of its kind
  • Ultra low power - 0.25 uA in a typical application circuit
  • Omnidirectional motion sensing unlike traditional ball-tube motion sensors

  • Sealed version ruggedized for wave or reflow soldering
  • Precision designed for high sensitivity
  • No signal conditioning required to interface with a
    microcontroller
