SB1I Sensor box containing one sensor and one signal condtioner with 4...20mA, 2-wire output |
Features
Description
The SB1I is a
pressure die cast aluminium sensor housing (IP65) with an
integrated sensor for measuring uniaxial acceleration or
inclination.
In addition to the sensor, the box contains a signal conditioner
with 4...20mA, 2-wire output and a separate, highly stable supply
voltage feeding off the current loop. Furthermore, the signal
conditioner includes an active low pass filter, whose upper
cut-off frequency / settling time can be adjusted to suit the
measurement task, an output stage with current limitation, a
noise voltage filter and a diode bridge for unipolar coupling to
the current loop. Interference signals caused by unwanted ground
currents are avoided by electrically isolating sensor and signal
conditioner from the housing. Unlike the SB2.., the SB1I can
accommodate larger inclinometers, such as the NG-series, that
have a higher measuring accuracy. A special electronic
temperature compensation system can significantly reduce the
temperature sensitivity of the implemented sensor.
The compact metal cable guide and small housing size in
combination with the 2-wire connection enable the use of this
high quality measuring system in harsh operating conditions.
Application
The SB1I is suitable for applications requiring precise inclination or acceleration measurements under harsh circumstances and returning of a 4...20mA output signal. Areas of successful implementation include construction, mining, agricultural machinery, transportation and conveyor systems, ships, operation and automation technology as well as general mechanical engineering.

Connections
Since the SB1I supply voltage feeds off the current loop (the SB1I requires 3mA at most), a voltage of 10V across the SB1I terminals must be guaranteed to ensure correct functionality even for the maximum loop current of 24mA (maximum voltage drop across transmission line and load resistance). |
Dimensions and Measuring Directions of SB1I with N inclinometer
The above diagrams demonstrate the feasibility of measuring most angles of inclination and directions of acceleration with SEIKA cased sensors. The resulting multitude of different possibilities do make choices difficult. We'd be glad to give you advice on putting together the components best suited for your measurement task and are happy to receive your information on what planes and directions the inclinations and/or accelerations are to be measured. A sketch of your situation is often very handy. |
