INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS ( Interfacing NG360 with the SC485B Adapter)
STEP HARDWARE PREPARATION
The NG360 inclinometer will need to be mounted on a vertical mounting plane. The SC485B (RS232/RS485)
1.
adapter can be mounted on either a horizontal or vertical mounting plane.
To mount the NG360, prepare a vertical surface with two tapped holes 2.283” apart for the supplied M4 mounting
2.
screws. Refer to Figure 1 for the NG360 outline dimensions.
To mount the SC485B adapter, prepare the mounting surface with two tapped holes, tap for either M4 or #8-32
3. screws. (Screws are not supplied.) Refer to Figure 2 for mounting hole locations. Note all dimensions are in
millimeters.
Mount the NG360 to the mounting surface using the supplied mounting ring and M4 mounting screws. Ensure the
unit is oriented so that the writing on the label appears horizontal and upright when looking at it straight on. This is
4.
the approximate zero position. To zero the unit, loosen the two mounting screws and rotate the sensor within its ring
until the output reads zero. Tighten screws when satisfied.

5. Remove the 4 screws from the SC485B adapter lid to lift the cover.
Route the NG360 cable through the SC485B adapter port and connect the wires as shown in Figure 3. Refer to
6.
Figure 4 for the NG360 and RS485 Bus diagram.
7. Mount the SC485B adapter with two M4 or #8-32 screws. Replace cover.
8. Connect the 12VDC adapter plug to the SC485B adapter and the other end to 110VAC wall receptacle.
9. Connect a 9-pin D-Sub male connector and cable to the PC com port.
STEP SOFTWARE PREPARATION
Software (WINDOWS 98, WINDOWS XP)

To display the measurement results and configure the sensor the following programs are used. These programs require a PC
running Windows 95/98 or Windows XP. Although the NG360 will operate from any half-duplex RS485 port, we recommend
using the SEIKA interface converter SC485B. NG360 programs should be copied to the hard drive before running them!
1. Load the enclosed software NG360Setup.exe and GetAngle.exe onto a PC.
NG360Setup.exe: This program can be used to change several parameters of the NG360. These parameters can be read,
modified and then saved permanently in the NG360 EEPROM. This does not affect any calibration values.

NG360
Page 5 of 6
Run the executable file, NG360Setup.exe to setup system parameters. Parameters that can be reconfigured are data
filtering with regards to filter type (Bessel, Period, Butterworth, or Tschebychev), filter order (either no filter, first, or
2. second order), and filter frequency (0.1Hz, 0.5Hz, and 1Hz). The sensor address can also be set and changed if
more than one sensor is connected. Refer to Figure 3 for connecting multiple sensors. PC COM port assignment is
also accomplished with this program.
The following screen should

appear when NG360Setup.exe is
executed. The PC COM port
shows in the bottom left hand
corner and the current sensor
address in the bottom right hand
corner. If only one sensor is
connected, the default address of
177 (hB1) #00 will enable the
software to output sensor angles. If
3.
multiple units are connected,
address 177 (hB1) cannot be
used!!! The reason being that all

sensors are programmed to
respond to the base address of
177 (hB1), in the event of multiple
units, a bus conflict would result.
Each individual sensor on the bus
will need to have a unique
address.
Once a sensor address is selected, the corresponding sensor can be probed for its current parameter settings. Click
on “read variables”. This will read the current filter settings and sensor address and display them in the appropriate
fields. The variables can be modified by selecting on the drop down menus and then permanently written to the
4.
EEPROM memory by clicking on “write variables”. The variable V064 “delay for serial port” determines the time delay
between the individual data bytes transmitted by the sensor. This value can be increased for slower PC interfaces for
safer data communication. Default value is 500.
GetAngle.exe: This program displays the angle of one or more NG360, which are connected through a RS232/RS485-
Converter (i.e. p/n SC485B) to the PC. The serial port COM, the sensor address and the display speed (averaging of several
measurements) can be adjusted. Additionaly, measurements can be saved to a logfile in regular time-intervals, for further
processing i.e. with MS Excel.
Now run the executable file,

GetAngle.exe. This program displays
5. the measured angle for each sensor
queried on the RS485 Bus. The
following screen should appear.
Set the correct Com port and address. Note address 177 (hB1) #00 can only be used when one sensor is connected.
6. Clicking on Start will show the sensor output real time. If you want to change the filter parameters go back to the setup
program.

NG360
Page 6 of 6
NG360Scan.exe: Use this program to identify every NG360 sensor connected to a serial PC COM port through a
RS232/RS485-Converter. The program scans the whole range of possible NG360 addresses and displays the angle values
send by each connected sensor.
Program NG360Scan.exe is
also supplied on the disk. This
program will determine which
sensors are active on the bus
7.
and then allow continuous
reading of multiple sensors. The
following screen will appear
when executed.
Select the Com port and click on Scan. The program transmits an inquiry to all 78 possible NG360 addresses and waits
8. for a response. If a sensor answers, the received measured angle is displayed over that sensors address. Click on Start
reading to obtain continuous angle measurements from the active sensors. Press Stop reading when finished.
NG360Example.exe: This directory

contains an example program for
programmers, with complete MS Visual
C++ sourcecode. This open source
example program developed using MS
Visual C++ 5.0 provides some
information how to develop interface
software for the RS232/RS485
converter and the NG360 sensors.
HARDWARE RESET
The NG360 sensor is RESET automatically at power on by a defined sequence of operations. The timing for the power on
sequence is important for the correct function of the internal microcomputer. The starting edge of the supply voltage should be
as short as possible for correct operation.

A supply voltage with a slow rise time or one that bounces can lead to the internal microcomputer program to crash. If this
occurs, the sensor will give the impression that it is defective and no longer working. This can normally be fixed by shutting the
power off and restarting the process over again making sure the proper input conditions are met. Similar problems can occur if
the operating voltage drops below 9V. With the correct input voltage the actual sensor life is unlimited.

input voltage and sensor High-pass filter also available
Output is short-circuit protected Custom made connectors also possible
Internal voltage regulation to sensor
The information and material presented may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without the express written consent of Rieker® Inc.
Description
The NV4a signal amplifier is used to excite, filter, normalize, and convert the different output signals
of Seika sensors to a ±4VDC output. This symmetrical output signal allows for a problem-free signal
transfer to measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, AD-cards in PC’s, or to other OEM
equipment. (For 0 to 5VDC output, we recommend the NV8a and for 4 to 20mA output, the NV6a).
Even with large fluctuations at the unit’s power supply, the NV4a will act very stable for both
offsetting the sensor’s zero point and supplying a stable ±4 Volt DC output, which is linear to the
sensor’s working range.
Applications
The NV4a is strongly recommended for use in combination with a sensor anywhere the demand for
high voltage output and/or special filtering of the sensor’s signal is needed. This signal amplifier is also
useful when a non-stabilized 8 to 30VDC supply is required.

Description
The RDI provides single or dual axis inclination sensing in a rugged environmentally protected housing.
This is a semi-custom unit where all subassemblies are stock but specific functions are customized. A
modular design allows the customer to select the measurement range, output type, and temperature
compensation that best suits the individual application. Standard input ranges ±10°, ±30° and ±70°
are available for both single and dual axis models – these can be scaled to specific ranges (ie: ±45º)
per axis. Special single axis ranges up to ±100° are available. Non-symmetrical (or scalable) ranges
FORM NUMBER: RD0001_06/03 UPDATED: 02/07
(ie: -10° to +90°) are available for applications that only tilt in one direction.
The RDI can be supplied with multiple output configurations: Digital LCD Display, Analog Voltage 0.25
to 4.25V output, Digital Serial RS232 output, and up to 4 Open Collector Switch Outputs providing
maximum functionality.
The LCD display can be configured to display degrees, percent grade, or inch per foot rise with either
0.1 or 0.01 degree resolution. The display models come standard with 3 built in LED’s (1 green, 1
yellow, and 1 red). These can be set activate at predefined angles within the specified measurement
range - providing the operator a bright visual warning signal. Examples of LED programming: For

RDI Series
Page 2 of 4
leveling applications - the LED function is set so the green LED turns RDI Sample Models
on when level then switches to yellow or red when out of level; For
indication of safe and unsafe conditions (such as preventing vehicle
rollover) - the green light would indicate the vehicle is within the safe
operating zone, the yellow light would indicate a warning zone, and
the red light would indicate the vehicle is on a slope that exceeds the
recommended safe operating zone - giving the operator a bright visual
immediate danger signal to return to more even ground.
The LCD display model also provides a Relative Zero and a RDR Remote Sensor Package
Minimum/Maximum Angle function. The Relative Zero (REL) allows the
operator to temporarily zero the digital readout to obtain relative
slope changes. The operator will always know when the device is in
the REL mode by the (*) symbol that is displayed after the angle. The
Minimum/Maximum Angle (MIN/MAX) function provides the smallest
and largest angle the device has sensed since the last reset.
There are up to four (4) Open Collector Switch Outputs that, if
selected, can be factory set to switch at a predetermined angle RDS7-BB Ball Bank Indicator
anywhere within the selected measurement range. The switching
function can be configured for either Normally Open for out of range
indication or Normally Closed for in range indication. The outputs can
be used to drive an external buzzer, horn, lamp, solenoid, or relay
allowing for audible and/or visual warnings and equipment shut down
control. Each switch output can be delayed from 0 to 16 seconds to
eliminate false triggering. Available in both display and non-display
models, with a display model the outputs are tied directly to the LED’s
on the front panel and are configured to indicate when switching RAD Remote Angle Display
occurs for the open collector switch outputs.
The analog voltage (0-5V) output is available as either temperature
compensated or non-temperature compensated depending on the
required accuracy for the specific application (operating temperature
is used to determine this option). A 12 bit digital to analog converter
is used to perform the conversion.
The digital RS232 output is presented in decimal format in degrees,

percent grade, or inch per foot rise. The output is formatted one
reading per line for single axis units and two readings per line for dual RAS Remote Angle Display
axis units. The first reading for a dual axis unit represents channel 1
(typically side to side/roll) and the second reading represents channel
2 (typically front to back/pitch). The dual RDI can also be configured
with both channels reading along the same axis for double
redundancy.
Optional Temperature Compensation can be added to provide
increased accuracy. For applications that require remote angle

measurement (the sensor unit is mounted separately from the Display
box) we offer Remote Inclinometer packages and Remote Angle Non-Display Output Only
Displays with multiple sensor options.

The RDI is powered by a 8-30VDC non-regulated power supply (default
power), with optional 9V battery, 110VAC or 240VAC wall adapters, or cigarette lighter adaptor.
Various connectors and cable options are available based on the application and operating
environment.

Description
The RDR Remote Inclinometer Package is an extension of the RDI series. The package is supplied as a
calibrated set featuring an environmentally sealed inclinometer box (single or dual axis), an LCD
display box, and the interconnecting cable (maximum 200 feet).

The RDR has the same features as the RDI including user defined inclination ranges, multiple outputs
combinations, and adjustable switch output trip angle settings.
This is a semi-custom unit where all subassemblies are stock but specific functions are customized. A
modular design allows the customer to select the measurement range, output type, and temperature
compensation that best suits the individual application. Standard input ranges ±10°, ±30° and ±70°
are available for both single and dual axis models – these can be scaled to specific ranges (ie: ±45º)
per axis. Special single axis ranges up to ±100° are available. Non-symmetrical (or scalable) ranges
(ie: -10° to +90°) are available for applications that only tilt in one direction.
FORM NUMBER RD0011_09/03 UPDATED: 06/07
The LCD display can be configured to display degrees, percent grade, or inch per foot rise with either
0.1 or 0.01 degree resolution. The display models come standard with 3 built in LED’s (1 green, 1
yellow, and 1 red). These can be set activate at predefined angles within the specified measurement
range - providing the operator a bright visual warning signal.
Examples of LED programming: For leveling applications - the LED function is set so the green LED
turns on when level then switches to yellow or red when out of level; For indication of safe and
unsafe conditions (such as preventing vehicle rollover) - the green light would indicate the vehicle is
within the safe operating zone, the yellow light would indicate a warning zone, and the red light

RDI Series: RDR
Page 2 of 5
would indicate the vehicle is on a slope that exceeds the recommended safe operating zone - giving
the operator a bright visual immediate danger signal to return to more even ground.
The LCD display model also provides a Relative Zero and a Minimum/Maximum Angle function. The
Relative Zero (REL) allows the operator to temporarily zero the digital readout to obtain relative
slope changes. The operator will always know when the device is in the REL mode by the (*) symbol
that is displayed after the angle. The Minimum/Maximum Angle (MIN/MAX) function provides the
smallest and largest angle the device has sensed since the last reset.
The RDI can be supplied with multiple output configurations: Digital LCD Display, Analog Voltage 0.25
to 4.25V output, Digital Serial RS232 output, and up to 4 Open Collector Switch Outputs providing
maximum functionality.
Optional Temperature Compensation can be added to provide increased accuracy. For applications
that require remote angle measurement (the sensor unit is mounted separately from the Display box)
we offer Remote Inclinometer packages and Remote Angle Displays with multiple sensor options.
The analog voltage (0-5V) output is available as either temperature compensated or non-temperature
compensated depending on the required accuracy for the specific application (operating temperature
is used to determine this option). A 12 bit digital to analog converter is used to perform the
conversion.
The digital RS232 output is presented in decimal format in degrees, percent grade, or inch per foot
rise. The output is formatted one reading per line for single axis units and two readings per line for
dual axis units. The first reading for a dual axis unit represents channel 1 (typically side to side/roll)
and the second reading represents channel 2 (typically front to back/pitch). The dual RDI can also be
configured with both channels reading along the same axis for double redundancy.
There are up to four (4) Open Collector Switch Outputs that, if selected, can be factory set to switch
at a predetermined angle anywhere within the selected measurement range. The switching function
can be configured for either Normally Open for out of range indication or Normally Closed for in range
indication. The outputs can be used to drive an external buzzer, horn, lamp, solenoid, or relay
allowing for audible and/or visual warnings and equipment shut down control. Each switch output can
be delayed from 0 to 16 seconds to eliminate false triggering. Available in both display and non-
display models, with a display model the outputs are tied directly to the LED’s on the front panel and
are configured to indicate when switching occurs for the open collector switch outputs.
The RDI is powered by a 8-30VDC non-regulated power supply (default power), with optional 9V
battery, 110VAC or 240VAC wall adapters, or cigarette lighter adaptor. Various connectors and cable
options are available based on the application and operating environment.

specifications
Description
The SBS1U sensor box is packaged in a solid and compact pressure-cast aluminum housing (IP65) with
an integrated sensor for highly sensitive single axis inclination or acceleration measurements.
Within the box are 2 sections: a voltage amplifier with a ±5 Volt output signal and a separate highly
stable voltage regulator that supplies power to the sensor. The amplifier also contains an active low
pass filter to suppress interference signals and transient suppression to ensure conformance to EMV
regulations. The sensor and the amplifier are galvanically isolated from the housing to avoid
interference from signals generated by undefined earth currents. An asymmetric 0 to 5V or a
symmetrical ±5V analog voltage signal, each mutually inverse, can be measured on both signal
outputs. The tightly sealed PG metal cable connector and the compact dimensions of the 100% metal
sensor housing enable this high quality measurement system to be used under severe operating
conditions.
Applications
The SBS1U is recommended for use where extremely precise inclination and acceleration
measurements must be taken under difficult conditions and harsh environments. Typical applications
include stability monitoring in the building, machinery, and construction industries as well as
inclination monitoring of bridges, dams, towers, tunnels, slopes, and of all structures where there is
risk of earthquakes or collapse.

Description
The SBL1 sensor box is packaged in a solid die-cast aluminum housing (IP54) with an integrated
sensor for single axis inclination measurements.
Within the box are 2 sections: An amplifier with a 4…20mA current-loop output proportional with
the working range of the integrated sensor and a separate highly stable power supply for the sensor,
which obtains its power from the 8…30VDC box supply. Both sensor and amplifier are galvanically
isolated from the housing - further reducing susceptibility to outside noise. A custom low-pass filter
and a suppression filter combine to eliminate interference coming into the system.
For a very high degree of accuracy, an NG-type sensor can be integrated into the SBL1 box, which
considerably reduces temperature drift over the entire temperature range.
Applications
The SBL1 is recommended for use where inclination measurements are needed where mechanical
vibration occurs in such areas as conveyor systems, mining and agricultural equipment, and all types
of process machinery.

z.B. (2km cable 2x0,5mm^2 :)3,2V + (resitor 500 Ohm:)10V + 9V = Ubmin = 22,2V
Since the supply voltage for the SBL1 are obtained from the current loop and the SBL1
requires max.3mA, an input voltage of 9Volts min. must be supplied at the connection
block of sensorbox.This is also required in order to guarantee correct operation when
the highest loop current of approx.24 mA is used.

utilizing highly visible color zones: e.g. RED = tip-over danger; GREEN = safe operation.
Please Note: The customer must specify the color zone degree ranges at time of order.
Applications
Our inclinometers are used on utility trucks, aerial lift trucks, cranes, construction equipment,
aircraft, boats, ships, submarines, military and government vehicles for leveling, balancing and
preventing tip-over. The 1023 model was originally designed for DOT usage as a ball bank indicator
to help determine safe curve speed.
