Product Description

The MicroStrain MV7-AR gyro-stabilized inclinometer delivers precision measurements of dynamic inclination, acceleration, and angular rate in challenging environments such as those encountered by heavy-duty construction, off-highway, agriculture, and trucking vehicles.

The MicroStrain MV7-AR utilizes the power of a sophisticated Auto-Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to remove errors associated with vibration, sudden linear motions, and quake, resulting in a true reading of inclination under all conditions.

MicroStrain's state-of-the-art temperature compensation and calibration assures error-free performance over the full operational temperature range.The compact size, wide 4.5 to 36 V power range, IP68 / IP69K rating, and CAN J1939 communications interface options make the MV7-AR a single part solution for a full range of vehicle sizes and applications. You must specify communications protocol at time of order.
