Wireless inclination monitoring

RT-1070Wireless Tiltmeter

Compact, simple installation for distributed monitoring points

A compact unit combines tilt sensing, acquisition, a lithium thionyl chloride battery, 4G Cat.1 connectivity and positioning. Adhesive or L-bracket mounting needs no field power or data cabling. Scheduled readings switch to additional reports when tilt or vibration acceleration reaches a threshold, with server upload within 15 seconds.

Measurements

Track inclination, azimuth and occasional vibration

The RT-1070 acquires inclination and azimuth on a schedule. Occasional vibration can produce peak acceleration readings and trigger additional reports. Internal device temperature and battery state support device checks.

01

Inclination

Track tilt angle and its long-term changes.

02

Azimuth

Identify the direction of inclination and deformation.

03

Occasional vibration

Record peak vibration acceleration for occasional events greater than 10mg.

04

Device condition

Record internal device temperature and battery state to assess operating condition.

05

Positioning

Obtain latitude and longitude for monitoring point location and field management.

Installation

Choose adhesive or L-bracket mounting

Select the mounting method for the surface and accuracy requirement. Both need no field power or data cabling; secure mounting is essential to the measurement.

  1. RT-1070 mounted to a wall with a metal L-bracket
    01

    L-bracket mounting

    Fix the bracket firmly to the structure and tighten the sensor screws evenly. Tilt accuracy is ±0.005° within ±30°.

  2. RT-1070 dome housing adhesively mounted to brickwork
    02

    Adhesive mounting

    For flat, clean and dry surfaces. Adhesive mounting reduces drilling and bracket work; allow 24 hours for full curing. Tilt accuracy is 0.05°.

  3. 03

    Confirm the installation

    Record the location and device serial number. Use a magnet to trigger a communications test and confirm successful upload.

Benefits

Reduce maintenance and respond to changing conditions

Scheduled acquisition, two threshold triggers and a long-life battery support distributed installations. Remote viewing and configuration are available through a WeChat Mini Program.

01

Scheduled acquisition and two triggers

When tilt or vibration acceleration reaches a configured threshold, additional reporting begins and data can reach the server within 15 seconds.

02

Long life, fewer site visits

More than 60 months at a 4-hour reporting interval and over 18,000 data reports reduce battery replacement and field maintenance.

03

Remote viewing and configuration

Use the WeChat Mini Program to view data and change settings remotely, reducing commissioning and maintenance visits.

More than 140,000 units deployed across the RT-1050 and RT-1070 series combined.

Applications

Distributed monitoring of geohazards and structures

Suited to dispersed monitoring points with difficult cabling or no field power.

Unstable rock masses

Monitor tilt and occasional vibration from a sensor fixed to the rock surface.

Buildings

Track inclination and azimuth at walls and other key structural locations.

Bridges & piers

Monitor inclination and occasional vibration at selected points, with data sent over 4G.

Heritage structures

Track long-term inclination and azimuth at selected positions without field power or data cabling.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between RT-1070 and RT-1050?

RT-1070 is compact and easy to install, using 4G Cat.1 for distributed deployments. RT-1050 has approximately four times the battery capacity, providing greater operating reserve, and offers options for projects requiring LoRa or SM2/SM4 encryption.

Which mounting method should I choose?

The secure L-bracket method provides ±0.005° accuracy within ±30°. Adhesive mounting is simpler on flat, clean and dry surfaces, with 0.05° accuracy. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure completely.

Can RT-1070 continuously monitor vibration?

RT-1070 primarily monitors inclination. It measures peak acceleration for occasional vibration greater than 10mg and can trigger additional reporting. Choose a dedicated vibration product when continuous waveforms or spectrum analysis are required.

Does installation need field power or data cabling?

No. A built-in lithium thionyl chloride battery and 4G Cat.1 provide power and communications. Confirm stable 4G coverage at the selected location.
