The IRIS Tilt Switch and Controller is a powerful tilt controller device that combines a digital, dual-axis clinometer and advanced firmware features in one compact unit. This remarkable instrument enables you to measure and respond to rotational movements in any direction concerning the unchanging gravity vector. Units ship standard with a 24-inch hook-up cable. IRIS is an ideal choice for OEM applications, where it can be used to maintain platform levelness, avoid tip-over conditions, prevent out-of-range movement, and perform other control functions.
