Tilt Sensors / Nano Triaxial Tilt Sensor Node Range

The Nano triaxial tilt sensor node range has its own unique miniature form and is built to deliver precise, reliable tilt monitoring for demanding applications such as rail, construction and mining. This tiltmeter is easy to deploy, durable, has no external aerial and a waterproof shell (IP68/IP69K rated) that can withstand the most challenging environments.

The Nano’s discreet form and wide range of simple fixings allow for extremely quick installation to any surface using glue, screw or magnetic mounting. Its innovative design allows the Nano Tiltmeter to be installed in any orientation making it ideal for wireless tilt monitoring of tunnels, bridges, buildings and retaining walls. The NanoMacro and NanoPlus tiltmeters are often used in conjunction with tilt beams.

The Nano range comes with Near Field Communication (NFC)™ capability, enabling the user to adjust settings directly at the node.

With a maximum reporting frequency of two seconds, the Nano is ideal for applications where a high reporting rate is needed.  It has a resolution of 0.0001° (0.00175 mm/m), and repeatability options as low as ±0.0005° (±0.0087 mm/m). The Nano tilt monitoring system offers unrivalled specifications and a battery life of up to fifteen years, making it the future of wireless tilt sensing.

The Nano range uses the same core platform as our other tilt sensors, so it can deliver a similar level of performance and reliability, all in a small and robust enclosure. Nanos have been successfully used in many applications, including:

• Tunnel distortion
• Tunnel heave/settlement
• Embankment slippage (used in conjunction with stake mounts)
• Structural movement
• Rail track heave/settlement
• Rail trackbed cant and twist
