LILY Self-Leveling Borehole Tiltmeter

Using a high-precision electrolytic tilt sensor, units deliver resolutions to 5 nano radians; the dynamic range is ±330 µradians. Units also feature a ±10 deg. leveling range for easy installation downhole. Output is RS-232 or RS-422 (RS-485 full-duplex) and includes timestamp and compass bearing. Data can be saved to file externally or to LILY’s on-board flash memory (75,000 sample max) using fill/stop or cyclic memory modes.

Units are fully submersible to 3000 psi. Titanium is also available for +5000 psi applications. The culmination of over 30 years of tilt sensor experience and expertise, the LILY represents the pinnacle in precision sensor engineering.
