Applications
BSIL-C12C/ C12G Tiltsensors are designed to measure tilt in structures, including buildings, dams, embankments, slopes, retaining walls, open pits, etc.
Description
The Model BSIL-C12C MEMS Tiltsensor is designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, and for the subsequent measurement of any tilting that may occur. The sensor itself is a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor which offers a high range, with high sensitivity and accuracy. The included associated signal conditioning yields an output of ±4 V at ±15° and designed to drive long cables without degradation.
The Model BSIL-C12G Tiltsensor is also designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface to measure any tilting that may occur, but is packaged in a rugged steel enclosure with a mounting plate. BSIL- C12G is a small-range tiltsensor which offers high sensitivity and accuracy (Resolution to 0.2”), designed for precision measurement of the structure.

Operation
The Model BSIL-C12C MEMS Tiltsensor is designed for attachment to structures,once the location for the MEMS Tiltsensor has been established the position is marked out, ensuring that the sensor is correctly orientated towards the
direction of movement. The marked locations are drilled to depth and the 8mm shell anchors supplied with the Tiltsensor are installed. Studding is screwed into the shell anchors, leaving a sufficient length to incorporate the bracket and
the Tiltsensor. A spirit level is used to check that the Tiltsensor is level in both directions, and then the nuts are securely tightened before the Tiltsensor is finally wired into a datalogger.
BSIL- C12G is a small-range tiltsensor with high-precision (Resolution is up to 0.2”) which is itself placed in an adjustable mount. The sensor is fixed to the structure. Once installed, thumbwheels at one end allow the sensor to be adjusted to the zero position using a handheld readout.
