Tilt sensor

After initial leveling with a small level or the built-in bubble level, the internal tilt sensor helps users keep the ClimaVue 50 G2 level. Regularly check the X and Y tilt data. Adjust the ClimaVue 50 G2 leveling if it has tilted. More than two degrees off level can cause errors in the rain and solar radiation measurements. Although this tilt sensor may be used to level the instrument, it is much easier to use the small bubble level on the bottom of the anemometer plate.

The tilt sensor is an accelerometer that reads whatever acceleration it is experiencing. Under static conditions, this is the gravitational acceleration, and therefore provides an accurate indication of tilt. However, if the sensor is not securely mounted, the tilt sensor measures a combination of gravity and vibration.
