Operation and applications of the DFI820 inclinometer

DFI820-15 and DFI820-30: Range and Accuracy Differences

The DFI820 is available in two configurations
of angular measurement. Both use a single axis.
and share the resolution of 0.001° and the
repeatability of 0.003°.

DFI820-15: range ±15°

The version DFI820-15 is oriented
to high-precision tilt measurements
within a range of ±15°.

  • Angular range: ±15°.
  • Angular accuracy: <0.005°.
  • Resolution: 0,001°.
  • Repeatability: 0,003°.
  • Slope range: 267 mm/m.
  • Slope accuracy: 0.1 mm/m.

DFI820-30: range ±30°

The version DFI820-30 expands
the measurement range up to ±30°, maintaining
an angular resolution of 0.001°.

  • Angular range: ±30°.
  • Angular accuracy: <0.01°.
  • Resolution: 0,001°.
  • Repeatability: 0,003°.
  • Slope range: 577 mm/m.
  • Slope accuracy: 0.2 mm/m.

The choice depends on the maximum tilt
that needs to be measured and the angular error
admissible in the application.

Absolute and relative measurement and display in mm/m

The DFI820 allows for angular measurements
absolute and relative, facilitating verification
of positions and tilt variations.

  • Absolute measurement (ABS):
    visualize the angle relative to the reference
    of the instrument.
  • Relative measurement (REL):
    allows you to compare the slope with a
    established reference position.
  • Degrees: Direct angular display.
  • Radians: angle representation
    in units of the International System.
  • Slope in mm/m:
    expresses the difference in elevation per meter of length.

The slope reading is especially useful
to check the leveling of the benches,
workbenches, mechanical equipment and
industrial surfaces.

The DFI820 allows working with values
angular as with slopes, without need
of performing manual conversions during
each measurement.

Electronic compensation, repeatability and measurement stability

He DFI820 uses measurement technology
precision electronics
and processing
of the angular values to provide
stable readings.

Its system incorporates electronic compensation
between axles and thermal compensation, intended
to reduce the influence of orientation
and the temperature variations on
the measure.

The repeatability of 0.003°
It allows for consecutive checks to be performed
with slight variations in reading.

The resolution of 0.001° represents the increase
Minimum viewing angle. Accuracy
It depends on the version selected:
less than 0.005° in the DFI820-15 e
less than 0.01° in the DFI820-30.

Data logging, USB connection, and PC software

He DFI820 digital inclinometer
incorporates measurement storage functions
and communication to complement the
direct on-screen display.

It has USB 1.1 connection,
five-pin connector and software
VC for PC, intended for
I work with measurement data.

It also includes measurement functions
absolute and relative and configuration
of alarm values, which allow
adapt the instrument to different
angular verification procedures.

The combination of recording and communication
USB is useful when you need
document leveling checks,
analyze measures or preserve results
testing and maintenance.

LCD screen, magnetic attachment and rechargeable battery

The DFI820 incorporates a LCD screen
in color
, with a visible area of
57.6 × 43.2 mm, for
direct consultation of values
angular and measurement functions.

The casing has surfaces of
reference and magnetic attachment
to facilitate its placement on
ferromagnetic metallic components.

It integrates a rechargeable lithium battery.
