Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the BWK218 inclinometer and how do I wire it?

The BWK218 provides a 4-20mA two-wire current loop output. Wiring is straightforward: connect the positive power supply terminal (12-36V DC) to the sensor's positive input, and connect the sensor's output terminal to the positive input of your PLC or data logger's analog input module. The negative terminal of your power supply and the negative terminal of your analog input should be connected together to complete the loop. The 4mA corresponds to -180°, and 20mA corresponds to +180°.

Can this sensor be used outdoors or in wet conditions?

Yes, the BWK218 is designed for harsh environments. Its IP67 rating ensures it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Combined with its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is suitable for outdoor applications such as solar tracking, crane monitoring, and structural tilt measurement in various weather conditions.

What is the mounting method for the BWK218 sensor?

The sensor features integrated M4 threaded mounting holes for secure installation. You can use standard M4 screws to fasten it directly to a flat or bracketed surface. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and aligned with the measurement axis you intend to monitor. For precise absolute angle measurement, the sensor must be installed in a known reference position, typically leveled, during system calibration.
