Model A601-2A/2B High-precision Platform Tiltmeter

The model A601-2 Platform mount tiltmeter is designed for high precision tilt measurements. Units come with built-in micrometer leveling legs, for easy installation on any horizontal surface. The A601-2 also includes two switchable gains and two low-pass filter settings. Using an absolute gravity-referenced electrolytic sensor, the A601-2 delivers ultra-high sensitivity to <25 nrad with virtually zero long-term drift. Output is a stable ±8 DC voltage (±16 VDC differential). Rugged, reliable, and extremely accurate, the A601-2 is the preferred choice for volcano monitoring, high-precision geotechnical engineering, bridge deflection monitoring, precision metrology, radar platform leveling, and high-accuracy tilt monitoring applications worldwide.
