Model A800P Portable Tiltmeter
The Model 800P Portable Tiltmeter is a versatile and accurate hand-held instrument for monitoring structural and foundation movement. Measurements are taken from tilt plates that have been cemented or bolted to any horizontal or vertical surface. Indexing bars on the bottom and sides of the tiltmeter enable you to reposition it accurately on the tilt plate, every time. When continuous monitoring is not required, Model 800P is an excellent choice because only one tiltmeter is needed to make measurements at an unlimited number of points.
The Portable Tiltmeter System includes one tiltmeter, one power and display unit, and a tough plastic carrying case. Ceramic or Aluminum Tilt plates are purchased separately.

Tulip SC 4-20mA Signal Conditioning Card
The Tulip-SC is a precision 4-20mA signal conditioning card for use with all Jewell Instruments miniature tilt sensors. Each TulipSC card operates one single-axis tilt sensor. Tilt output is measured as a 4-20mA output. The Tulip-SC is current loop-powered, so measurements can be made over long cable lengths using an economical 2-wire pair. Units also come with an onboard thermistor for measuring temperature.
Jewell provides factory calibration for all Tulip-SC electronics when ordered with our 84053 and 84064 Ceramic, or Model 755- and 756– miniature tilt sensors.

Using an absolute gravity-referenced electrolytic sensor, the A701 delivers ultra-high sensitivity to <0.1 µrad with virtually zero long-term drift. The output is a stable ±8 DC voltage (±16 VDC differential). The D701 digital version has onboard memory, with a storage capacity of up to 22,000 samples.
IRIS-SC Digital Signal Conditioning Card
The IRIS-SC digital signal conditioning card is a powerful control device designed for use with all Jewell miniature tilt sensors. Output is ASCII RS-232 or RS-422(485) serial. Standard firmware includes five user-programmable alarm/trigger thresholds for tilts tilt switch/control applications. When a selected threshold is reached, the circuitry sets the output high
on one of the pins in the H3 control connector. Other firmware features include user-programmable data output rates, sample averaging, autozero (nulling), and baud rate. The IRIS-SC can also log up to 22,000 samples to internal memory for data dump/download on user command.
All IRIS-SC units include calibration when ordered with Jewell miniature tilt sensors (specify calibrated range on order).
