The Horizon-U sensor, designed based on the micro-electromechanical linear accelerometer (MEMS), is a dual-axis static inclinometer that measures an angle to the local horizon at a range of± 5 °with an accuracy better than 10 arcseconds.
The sensor is specially developed for operational environments and has been able to maintain its accuracy over the entire measurement range thanks to the use of “three-dimensional processing of accelerated data”.

Inclinometer Sensor is Static tilt sensor
Key Features
MEMS-based
Using “multi-factor temperature calibration” technology
Long-term stability of 30 seconds of arc in 6 months
Full range in two axes (X, Y)
Accuracy maintaining throughout the range with “3D Acceleration Data Processing “.
Error limit of 10 seconds of arc
The compensated temperature is -40C to +85C
Maximum temperature error of one arcminute by combining data from multiple accelerometers
IP-67 Standard
With the use of “Multi-Factor Temperature Calibration” Technology and temperature compensation based on the internal temperature sensor, Horizon-U sensors have been able to achieve the highest temperature stability among all commercial Inclinometer in the world and maintain their temperature error in the entire temperature range of less than 1 arcminute.
Resistance to electromagnetic interference and high long-term stability have made these sensors perform acceptable in industrial environments. The Horizon-U sensor is suitable for accelerated platforms and does not perform well in static systems.
