Manual purpose
This manual has been designed by the Manufacturer to provide the necessary information regarding the
instrument to those who are authorized to carry out safely its installation, maintenance, dismantling and
disposal. All the necessary information for the buyers and planners can be found in the Sales catalogue.
Other than adopting good technical construction methods, the information should be read carefully and
strictly applied. Inobservance of this information could cause risks for the health and safety of people and
economical damage. This information, provided by the Manufacturer in the original language(Italian) is also
available in other languages to satisfy legislative and/or commercial needs.
This manual must be kept in a good condition by a responsible person in an ideal place so that it is always
available for consultation. In case this manual is lost or deteriorates, a replacement should be requested
directly from the manufacturer quoting the manual’s code. This manual reflects the state of skill of the
instrument at the time of input on the market: however the manufacturer reserves the right to make changes,
add or improve the manual without giving any reason to hold the present manual inadequate.
Identification of the equipment
The identification plate represented is applied to the instrument.
To find the identification code of the instrument, consult the sales catalogue.
Environmental conditions
Temperature setting: min. -10°C, max. + 70°C.
It is forbidden to use the instrument other than its specific use and in potentially explosive conditions or where
anti- explosive elements are used.
Storage
Here below are some references to be followed for the storage of the instrument.
Avoid environments with excessive humidity and those exposed to bad weather (avoid open areas). Avoid
putting the instrument directly on the ground. Store the instrument in its original packing.
Conformity declaration and CEE marking
The instrument answers to the following Communitarian Directives:
2014/30/EU Electromagnetic compatibility, 2011/65/EU RoHS.
Maintenance
The instrument does not needs a particular maintenance except cleaning to do only with a soft cloth dampen
with ethylic alcohol or water. Do not use hydrocarbon solvents (petrol, diluants, etc.): the using of these
products could affect the proper functioning of the instrument.
Reparations should be done only and exclusively at the FIAMA technical assistance centre.
Calibrations and tests
It is advisable to calibrate the instrument periodically, once every working year.
To do the calibration, follow the calibration procedure indicated in the present manual.
Assistance request procedure
For any kind of technical assistance request, contact the sales department of the Manufacturer directly
indicating the information given on the identification plate, the number of hours used and the type of defect.
Manufacturer’s responsibility
The manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of :
• Using the instrument contrary to the national safety and accident-prevention laws.
• Wrong installation, inobservance or wrong procedures of the instructions provided in the present manual.
• Defective electrical power supply.
• Modifications or tampering.
• Operations carried out by untrained or unqualified staff.
The safety of the instrument also depends on the strict observance of the procedures indicated in the
manual: always operate the instrument in its functioning capacity and carry out a careful routine maintenance.
• All phases of inspection and maintenance should be done by qualified staff.
• The configurations provided in the manual are the only ones permitted.
• Do not try to use it anyway contrary to the indications provided.
• The instructions in this manual do not substitute but accomplish the obligations of the current legislation
regarding the safety laws.

Description
The transducer IM60 is an inclinometer employed for the survey of angle, with reference to earth’s axis, with
measure range is +/-60° and analogue output 4+20mA or 0-10V, linear according to the angle measured.
The inclinometer employes a solid state sensor, vibration and shock-proof without parts in motion, therefore
is more reliable without loosing accuracy. Compact size and easy to mount, housing is in water-proof plastic,
with connector or cable output.
Main applications are: measure of inclination angle of cutting-blase, crane, level control of platforms, etc.
Installation
Before installing the instrument, read the following warnings:
a) Connect the instrument strictly following the instructions of the manual.
b) It is the responsibility of the user to check, before using, the correct settings of the parameters of the
instrument to avoid damage to persons or things.
c) The instrument CANNOT function in a dangerous environment (inflammable or explosive).
d) The unit has sensible parts to electrostatic charge, therefore the handling of the inner electronic cards has
to be carried out with appropriate care to avoid permanent damages.
The transducer has to be fixed with suitable flanges, considering the measure axis as in the following
drawing.
It is not necessary that the center of rotation of movable part is aligned with sensor axis.
With inclination 0° the out of sensor is 5V with tension output ; 12mA with current output.
To obtain the maximum accuracy it is recommended to limit to ± 10 ° inclination on the horizontal plane of the
axis orthogonal to that measuring.
