Specifications

The 1-6200-005 signal conditioner controls one dual axis or two single axis Fredericks electrolytic tilt sensors. This signal conditioner provides digital SPI communications. When combined with a Fredericks tilt sensor this signal conditioner becomes a complete inclinometer unit.
 
The Fredericks SPI Tilt Sensor Signal Conditioner is designed and manufactured in the United States of America at our facility in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. It functions with any Fredericks electrolytic tilt sensor which provides a highly stable and repeatable output at a competitive price. It has the option of being mounted in a robust plastic or metal housing with epoxy potting to provide IP67 environmental protection. The SPI interface makes this signal conditioner optimal for a variety of applications in many sectors. Its features include, but are not limited to, the ability to:
 
1.  Control either one dual axis sensor or two single axis sensors
2.  Output X and Y position through SPI
3.  Output temperature through SPI
