Electrolevels are small fluid based sensors containing no moving parts They are energised as part of a simple full or half bridge circuit, with the resultant output dependant on the amount and direction of tilt applied to the sensor.

The Electrolevel sensor itself is very small and has to be mounted in a way which isolates it from any temperature gradient effects and allows for zero adjustment during installation and sometimes subsequently during monitoring.

The Soil Instruments' Vertical Electrolevel is designed to be mounted either on a beam which is itself fixed to the structure to be monitored, or fixed directly to the structure.

Beam lengths are normally 1 and 2 metres but any length between this can be accommodated by a simple on-site adjustment of the beam. Where a beam length of less than 1 metre is needed (such as monitoring a stone structure or steelwork) we recommend that the Vertical Electrolevel is attached directly to the structure.

To create a profile of the structure to be monitored, beams can be attached as a string allowing a summed deflection plot to be drawn. Where the sensors and beams are connected to a data acquisition system and I-Site software used, a near real time profile can be drawn and constantly updated.

The Soil Instruments Vertical Electrolevel is a very low power, low EMC device which conforms to the specifications laid down under EN50121 1-4, making it particularly suitable for work in or adjacent to railway lines and in tunnels.

Low cost, simple, rugged sensor technology requiring very low power to read.
Sensor strings can give a complete profile of vertical displacements.
Easy to automate via data acquisition and I-Site software.
Very well established track record on major projects across the world.
