Questions & Answers
This product is not weatherproof and comes with a one-year warranty.
I believe it will work in the cold, but it is not weatherproof due to the RJ45 connector's inability to withstand the elements. br>You could probably put it in a weatherproof box and seal the cable inside. br>The cable is a standard network cable, so you can get a longer one if you need one.
When facing the sensor's label with the mounting bracket on the bottom pointing to the back, go from left to right.
Yes, mine turned off after a period of inactivity; I didn't keep track of the time, but it seemed to be around 10 minutes.

This is the only angle indicator that I've found that is reasonably priced and can be read from a distance. I'm using it to measure front loader bucket angle on a cabbed tractor, where "standing up" to better see bucket angle isn't an option, and would also be inaccurate. The unit is not waterproof; I made it waterproof by wrapping the RJ-45 connector in plastic wrap. Rain and washing the tractor would otherwise damage the sending unit, so I used black butyl rubber caulking tape to protect the 41 connector. br>br>A graphic level indication, in addition to the numeric display, would be useful - With numbers flashing in front of your eyes, it's difficult to make quick adjustments. The numbers are correct, and it goes to a negative (-) value. ) numbers in one direction, but they aren't as fast or as simple to understand as an analog moving line, for example. br>br>There are only embedded magnets on the top of the display, which is inconvenient if you want to mount it somewhere other than ferrous metal. A thin plastic battery access door takes up the majority of the back of the display, so hook it up. It's also inconvenient to have a loop on the back. br>br>In the question section, the seller suggested a maximum cable length of around 20 feet. A 50-foot CAT-II cable was used to test the unit. 5 cable and it worked fine, though I'm only using a 15' and 10' with waterproof connectors so I can easily remove the front loader and replace it with a front-mounted snowblower.
Out is a great tool, but you must zero it before using it. On my (older) motor grader, I'm using it to make things perfectly level (or at a specific angle). Because a regular level on the blade is difficult to read, the remote read-out is used instead. Out is a great tool, but you must zero it before using it. br>While the included cable is very short, any standard (non-crossover) network cable will work, so you can get any length cable you want.
so good. To register Tilt, I purchased a 10' Cat5 cable that would reach out to the blade's center. The receiver housing magnets aren't as strong as on the other Wixeys I have, but they haven't fallen off the dash yet during testing. This is for determining the Tilt on a six-wheeled vehicle. a blade for a bulldozer Once I figure out the best way to calibrate Zero, I'll build a second unit to measure Level. A 6' Stanley Fat Man Level is all I need for tilt. Normally, precision leveling a pad isn't something I'm concerned about, but building pads for bladder-style water storage tanks necessitates extra care. I have a rotary laser level here, but this setup should save me a lot of dismounts by registering both Tilt and Level from the "cab. " Cheers!.
The item is excellent.
Get it. This is a Wixey connected to the readout via a Cat5 cable. Very precise.
