1.1 I
NTRODUCTION
The electronic inclinometer +CLINO PLUS+ is with regard to the appearance as well as to the functions quite
similar to the predecessor CLINO 45. The internal technology was however completely redesigned and updated to
the latest possible technology.
Important modifications
More rugged and from the measurement's point of view more stable housing, 100 x 75 x 30 mm
New sensor type (similar to the ZEROTRONIC sensor) with SEALTEC technology (sensor housing
sealed)
New software for angular computing
Standard batteries, no loss of calibration data when changing batteries.
True RS485 Interface / connections to various WYLER instruments as well as to a PC
State of the art microelectronics incorporated.
Faster sampling leads to more rapid display reply
Additional features
,
as up until now:
Possible range of measurement: ±10 / 30 / 45 Grad.
Display of the measured values in all commonly used units. Simple selections by using the instruments
keys.
Setting a relative base length and display of the values to this base.
Automatic zero setting by using the respective keys.
Absolute and relative measurements simple to set by using the keys.
Calibration of the unit is easily possible using the built-in software.
Inclination measurement in any quadrant is possible using one of the four precisely machined surfaces,
which form the square frame of the instrument.
1.2 D
ESCRIPTION
The +CLINO PLUS+ follows a new concept from base up and is an electronic inclinometer with unsurpassed
versatility. Contained in the rugged and compact housing are: The precision inclination sensor, the custom
developed microprocessor, the large LCD display unit, the operating elements and the interface socket.
The +CLINO PLUS+ provides a measuring capacity of ± 45 degree (upon requirement delivery is also possible
with a measuring range of ± 10 or ± 30 degrees). Four precisely machined surfaces assure accuracy and
repeatability of measurements. Selectable by push-button, any units suitable for inclination may be applied to the
display. Even slope indication based on a relative base of selectable length is possible. Simple push-button
operation automatically sets absolute as well as relative zero. The interface socket (RS 485) provided, will connect
to a variety of other WYLER instruments like e.g. Levelmeter 2000, T/C directly to a PC.
All indicated values are, by integration of calibration values stored, computed prior to display. If required, an
integrated calibration mode may be actuated in order to replace the stored calibration data. For this purpose, the
+CLINO PLUS+ must, with the aid of suitable equipment, be accurately inclined, using 5 deg. steps over the range
of ± 50 deg.
The measuring principle is based on a friction free suspended disc of mass weighing less than 1 gram. Two
electrodes together with the disc supported between them, represent a differential capacitor. Changes of
capacitance resulting because of disc displacement when the unit is inclined, are detected by counting the
frequency and after suitable evaluation are displayed in the selected units.
Completely friction free pendulum supports in conjunction with damping by air displacement provide excellent
accuracy in respect of repetition and hysteresis as well as rapid availability of values.

NSTRUCTIONS
Attentive study of these operating instructions, prior to first time use, will make you familiar with the multiple
functions and possibilities of the +CLINO PLUS+ . Faulty manipulations or at the worst, unintended loss of
calibration data will then be prevented.
