    LORD PRODUCT DATASHEET

    FAS-A ®

    Inclinometer
    The FAS-A® Inclinometer is designed to provide 1 and 2-axis static
    and quasi-dynamic orientation measurements. It incorporates 3
    accelerometers together with an on-board microprocessor, embedded
    software algorithm, non-volatile memory for configuration, and serial
    communication interface. Its form-factor, rated temperature range and
    power supply requirements are optimized for a broad array of
    applications. The FAS-A® outputs either one 360° roll axis or two +/-
    70° pitch and roll axes.

    Features & Benefits System Overview


    Best in Class The FAS-A® Inclinometer is initially sold as a starter kit with
    orientation module, RS-232 communication and power cable, universal
    high-speed sample rate & flexible data outputs wall transformer power supply, software CD, user manual and quick
    extended use, low-power data logging start guide.

    Easiest to Use The FAS-A® Inclinometer is factory calibrated and ready for use with
    power-up. The FAS-A® ships with easy-to-use Microsoft Windows
    out-of-the-box pitch and roll
    software which allows the user to initialize, configure and operate the
    instrument, view real-time measurements graphically, and write data to
    Cost Effective file for post-processing. For those users, integrators or OEMs who
    reduced cost and rapid time to market for customer’s develop their own applications, the FAS-A® is shipped with a complete
    applications Data Communications Protocol guide that provides the developer with
    aggressive volume discount schedule a complete instrument command set. Applications of your own design
    can readily be developed in any coding language and on any
    computing platform including microprocessors.
    Applications
    When outputting in single axis mode, the FAS-A® provides
    Antenna and Camera Pointing measurement of 360° about its roll axis. When outputting in dual axis
    Robotic Control mode, the FAS-A® provides measurement of +/-70° about both its
    Health and Usage Monitoring of Vehicles pitch and roll axes.
    Motion Tracking
    The FAS-A® requires +5.2 to +12.0 volts DC to operate and can be
    powered by wall transformer, batteries, or any other capable power
    source. The enclosure provides a 2 hole mounting boss. Custom
    communication and power cables can be user fabricated or purchased
    from the factory.
