CELESCO INTRODUCES INCLINOMETER
FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Canoga Park, CA -- Equipment that extends and inclines, such as ladders on fire trucks and arms on cranes, must operate within a given weight distribution to function safely and avoid tipping over. To address these safety concerns, the quipement needs to be fitted with a position feedback device that determines the precise degree the movable ladder, arm or other extended object is currently inclined. Celesco Transducer Products, Inc. has just introduced the ideal solution: the Celesco IT9000 series industrial-grade inclinometers.

The Celesco IT9000 series is the best available solution for measuring large angles of inclination from 45 degrees to 270 degrees. It installs in minutes by simply bolting its housing to the inclining object and attaching electrical wires. When the object tilts, the IT9000's internal pendulum moves accordingly. It uses magnetic damping to provide stable and fast angle readings.

Celesco's IT9000 series uses the same sealed enclosure and is based on the same design as the Celesco's field-proven, heavy industrial grade linear measurement sensor -- the PT9000 Series. Its sealed housing meets NEMA 4 or 4X standards, providing protection from harsh environmental elements present in outdoor and industrial applications.

The Celesco IT9000 series is available in a variety of electrical options including two-wire, 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 10 volt, or potentiometric. Zero and span adjustments are accessible through the housing.

The new IT9000 series is a member of Celesco's family of industrial-grade transducers which are available in a variety of measurement ranges and mechanical and electrical opptions. For short linear position measurement ranges, Celesco offers its PT8000 Series and for longer ranges it has the PT9000 Series -- which both use stainless steel cables for measuring linear movement. For applications requiring rotational position feedback, Celesco offers the RT8000 and RT9000 series.

Celesco, headquartered in Canoga Park, California, designs, manufacturers and markets a wide range of transducers and related precision instruments. The company is the world's largest supplier of cable-extension position transducers which are used to detect and measure linear position and velocity. Its other families of transducers are used for measuring rotational position and differential pressure. Celesco also manufacturers thermocouple reference junctions. OEMs and end users choose Celesco transducers because of their high accuracy, resolution, and repeatability. The company, founded int 1968, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tedea, Ltd.
