1 General Information
To ensure reliable and safe operation, the measuring amplifier must be operated in compliance with the
specifications according to this technical description only. These regulations must also be observed if
accessories, which have been ordered from Althen Mess- & Sensortechnik GmbH together with the
measuring amplifier, are being used.
otice: Every person who is in charge for the start-up or service of this measuring amplifier must have
read this technical manual and must have understood the safety instructions in particular.
1.1 Safety Instructions
When using the amplifier, the legal- and safety regulations for each case of application must be observed.
To avoid risks for the system or the operator the following points are to be considered.
■
If any visual damage or malfunctions are noticed, the measuring system must be switched off
and marked appropriately.
■
Disconnect the supply voltage before opening the device.
■
The complete measuring unit must be protected against contact and influence of unauthorised
persons.
■
In the case of a safety-relevant application, where a potential malfunction could cause damage
to property or persons, it is imperative that an additional, independent monitor is provided.
■
In combination with sensors, the maximum loads / pressures etc. must never be exceeded.
If you have reasons to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, immediately take the device out
of operation and secure it against unintentional operation.
1.2 Qualified Personnel
This measuring system must be operated by qualified personnel and in compliance with the relevant
technical specifications only. Qualified personnel include such persons who are conversant with the
setting up, mounting and starting up of the measuring system and who have qualifications that are
appropriate for the tasks they're about to perform.
1.3 Intended Use
The described amplifier from Althen Mess- & Sensortechnik GmbH serve to measure, monitor and
evaluate inclination and it is fitted for explosion hazardous environments, according to
ATEX-standard 2014/34/EU. Any other use over and above that is regarded as non-intended use.

1.3.1 ATEX-Accreditation / EU-Type Examination Certificate
There’s an EU-type examination certificate for the described amplifier for operating it in accordance with
these regulations.
EU-type examination certificate name: TÜV 99 ATEX 1469
Under section „ATEX Inspection Certificate” is a copy of the EU-type examination certificate. The specified
data are by all means to be followed.
The electrical connections must be made inside a certified intrinsically safe circuit, with in the certificate
stated limits only.
2 Instructions for use of the measuring amplifier
otice: The parameterizations, further information concerning the scaling as well as the customized
analogue output can be found on the additional page "Device-Configuration".
Since this amplifier is a highly sensitive measurement technology product, it must be used for its intended
use as well as the described operating conditions only. Initial start-up and changes in setup and settings
must be done by qualified personnel only. To prevent interventions / modifications made by
unauthorized personnel, suitable measures must be taken. Both function and calibration must be checked
regularly.
The amplifier is contained in an aluminum housing which is equipped with an EMC- cover gasket as well
as EMC-cable glands. This ensures IP-level 68 (1m, 1h) according to DIN EN 60 29 (VE 0470).
otice: The case / amplifier must not be opened! Otherwise the gasket will be damaged and the
specified protection class / tightness will be reduced. If opened nonetheless, the gasket must be renewed
professionally.
The whole construction must be potential-equalized. Under no circumstances are there any potential
equalization currents over the cable shield allowed.
The housing is to be mounted on a grounded object /surface.
The tilt/ inclination measuring system must be connected to clean earth-potential. To avoid possible
potential equalization currents over the shield of the cable to the following evaluation unit, this shield
should be connected over a suitable capacitor (10 nF / 200 V).
Overall the shield connections must be done properly to EMC-standards (as short as possible with large
wire cross-section) and connected to a central point (star grounding). In order to not increase the
disturbance sensitivity of the amplifier, all cables should be kept as short as possible and should not be
7 | 16
extended. Possible cable-bound disturbances (i.e. noise) must be blocked very near the cable ends
(evaluation unit) by suitable measures.
otice: Changes of the measuring system of any kind demand for the explicit approval of Althen Mess-
& Sensortechnik GmbH. Changes of any kind done without that approval exclude all possible warranty
and/or liability of Althen Mess- & Sensortechnik GmbH.
Please note that the tilt measuring system responds not to inclination changes only, but as well to
vibrations and to acceleration forces.
3 Technical Description
For specifications, version and calibration of the measuring system, please refer to the additional page
“Device Configuration”. Potential options as well as special versions custom made are noted there.
This single axis, industrial tilt / inclination measuring system, which consists of one none-contact sensor
and an electronic customized for said sensor, serves to measure accurate tilt angles in x-axis and it is
intended for side wall mounting. Depending on the version the tilt angle can be between ± 3 up to ± 60°,
or between 0 … 10° to 0 … 90°.
Electrical connections are in 2-wire-technology.
The described amplifier from Althen Mess- & Sensortechnik GmbH serve to measure, monitor and
evaluate inclination related to the horizontal. The montage of the system is to be done with the cable
pointing down and not directly on a wall, but via an adapter, which allows a fine adjustment of the
mounting position. Although it’s been mentioned here in this manual, that it is not allowed to open the
lid of the system: the inside potentiometers must not be touched, i.e. the calibration must not be changed.
With a supply voltage of 24 VDC a current / signal of 4 … 20 mA is generated. This changing current can
be read out over a shunt resistor, which can than be processed from the following evaluation unit.
When exceeding the measuring range, the current may go up over 20 mA, depending on the supply
voltage and the shunt resistor.

4 Terminal Assignment
The electrical connections of the inclination measuring system are made via a cable (e.g. Unitronic-FD CP
plus, 1x2x0,2 mm², outer sheath: polyurethane mix), which, depending on version of the system may vary
in length. The maximum of the length is 120 m. The cable shield is connected to the systems case. The
cable has to be laid effectively protected against damages.

4.1 Supply Voltage
The supply voltage can be 18 … 28 VDC. But it is to be taken into consideration, that the supply voltage
dictates the maximum load resistance.
With a supply voltage of:
…24 VDC the load resistance can be max. 00 Ohms.
…18 VDC the load resistance can be max. 200 Ohms.
otice: A Zener barrier reduces the max. possible load resistance. The resistance of the barrier is to be
taken into consideration when calculating the overall load resistance.
