3 Functions and features
Dynamic MEMS inclinometers sense and measure the angle of tilt (inclination/
slope/elevation) of an object.
JD1xxx: 1-axis sensor with angular range 0...360° (vertical installation).
JD2xxx: 2-axis sensor with angular range ±90° (horizontal installation).
4 Installation
► Choose a level mounting surface.
► Fix the unit using 4 screws, tightening torque 1.5...2.5 Nm.
Recommendation:
M6 screws or ¼” UNC screws
► Adjust M12 connectors precisely and screw them fully into the unit, tightening
torque 1.5 Nm.
5 Electrical connection
The inclinometer is connected via a 5-pin M12 connector.
