Inclinometer Display Unit (HMDS1000A-KIT)

At Hummingbird Electronics we endeavour to continuously improve our products. As such this product has been upgraded to our new Dual-Axis Inclinometer.

Hummingbird's Inclinometer Display Unit provides a highly visible and configurable pitch and roll display to operators of industrial machinery.

The unit allows customisation of sensor response times to allow maximum flexibility in various applications.

Alarms and warnings can be configured from the integrated menu and saved to integrated memory.

Designed for harsh industrial environments, the module features a tough fascia with integrated buttons and LCD graphics display.

An industrial adjustable mount allows for optimum positioning for the operator.

Both pitch and roll can simultaneously be displayed and can optionally be made to invert in the event of an alarm or warning condition. The display is highly visible both at night and in sunlight due to the use of an industrially rated transflective graphics LCD display.

The integrated keypad allows for customisation of the display; in application calibration; warning and alarm setup; minimum and maximum tilt display and sensor customisation.

For optimum performance, Hummingbird's range of high accuracy RS485 tilt sensors should be used. When used in combination with the command module, accuracy of one degree and customisable frequency response are achievable.

Individual outputs for pitch and roll warnings can drive external relays, buzzers or can be connected to a vehicle management system. An integrated alarm relay provides normally open, normally closed and common outputs. All warnings and alarms can be configured to be normally-on or normally-off.

Optional password protection on the setup menu can be configured by the user.

The Inclinometer is supplied in a rugged ABS plastic enclosure with a polycarbonate fascia.

A fully adjustable aluminium mount can be screw mounted to the vehicle, or optional suction mounts are available.

Power, outputs and the sensor are connected through a pluggable connector at the rear of the unit.
