DESCRIPTION
The AngleStar® Protractor System (APS) is a ready to use, stand alone system for angle measurements. The
system incorporates an AngleStar Electronic Clinometer, a digital LCD display, and a four foot interconnecting
cable (cable lengths up to 200 feet are available, consult factory for details).
This system will operate for 500 hours on one 9 volt battery (not included), or may be powered from an external
power source between +9 and +15 VDC, drawing minimal current. The display may be mounted up to 200 feet
from the sensor for remote sensing applications such as drilling equipment or tower crane overload protection.
There are three systems to choose from; ±19.99 degrees with 0.01 degree resolution, ±45° or 0-90°, both
having 0.1 degree resolution.
Also see our other models AccuStar®-EA Electronic Clinometer (2 standard input/output configurations), and
AccuStar® IP-66 (2-wire loop powered angle transmitter).
Measurement Specialties, Inc. offers many other types of sensors. Data sheets can be downloaded from our
