The RDI Series of Digital Inclinometers - a Complete Angle Monitoring and Warning System for the Construction and Building Industry from Reiker.
Rieker are continually striving to improve the ability of our tilt indicators to provide highly visible and audible alerts for off-road, rough terrain construction vehicles.
One newly improved product is the RDI Digital Inclinometer, which greatly improves the vehicle operator's ability to detect dangerous roll over situations before equipment damage or injury can happen.
"The RDI Series of Digital Inclinometer provides both single or dual axis inclination sensing in a rugged environmentally protected housing," reports Joann Coates, Rieker's Senior Engineer.
"The internal sensing components incorporate a modular design allowing the user to select the measurement range and temperature compensation that best suits the individual application." Designed with multiple output configurations the RDI can be supplied with any combination of digital LCD display, analog 0.25 to 4.25V output, and RS232 output, with three open collector outputs providing maximum functionality.
The three open collector outputs can be optionally set to switch anywhere within the measurement range and be set to trip an external buzzer, horn, lamp, solenoid, or relay for additional audible/visual warnings or as an equipment shut down controller.
The outputs on the LCD display model are tied directly to the LEDs and configured to indicate when switching occurs.
This model comes standard with green, yellow, and red LEDs - providing the operator with a bright visual alert signal for determining safe and unsafe conditions.
Each switch output can be delayed from 0 to 16 seconds to eliminate false triggering on mobile vehicles.
Multiple mounting configurations are available including dual axis units with both channels reading the same direction for redundancy in safety applications.
Rieker is one of the leading manufacturers of accurate, durable, weatherproof measuring, and leveling instruments, since 1917.
Rieker's electronic units continue this tradition of excellence by meeting the increasing need for advanced vehicle and equipment safety monitoring and controlling devices.
Rieker's unique long term expertise in designing and manufacturing inclinometers, allows unprecedented control and measuring solutions for it's customers.
Rieker's tilt switches, and angle indicators with digital displays, audible/visual alerts, and flexible modular programming can be seen on the Rieker website.
