Tiltmeter operational modes

The Tiltmeter lets you choose between operational modes in addition to periodic readings so you can tailor data collection to your project needs. These modes optimize workflows, extend battery life, and reduce the number of devices required in the field.

Triggered Measurements mode

The Tiltmeter’s motion detection sensor actively monitors changes in angle, angular velocity, and acceleration. When a significant movement is detected, it triggers the primary sensor to capture detailed measurements, exactly when you need them.

You can customize when and how many measurements are taken (on event, after event, both, or across multiple events) and set delays and cooldown periods to match your monitoring needs.

This intelligent mode reduces unnecessary data transmission, keeps battery consumption low, and focuses on the movements that matter most, giving you actionable insights without overloading your system.

Event Detection mode

The Tiltmeter continuously monitors tilt at 3.9 Hz, instantly checking measurements against configurable thresholds.

If a threshold is exceeded, the system sends an alert in under 2 seconds and automatically increases reporting frequency to capture detailed data during the event. Once the movement stabilizes, monitoring returns to its standard reporting interval, ensuring efficient, focused, and timely insights.

Tiltmeter mounting options

Recommended surface mounting

LS-ACC-IN15-HP plate for horizontal and vertical mounting. Secures with anchor rods or glue and features a threaded hole for a monitoring prism or leveling screw.

Horizontal surface mounting for rail tracks

Using the LS-ACC-IN-HPTM horizontal surface mounting plate for track monitoring. Designed to be glue to the surface for fast and robust fixing.

Horizontal surface mounting with double plate

Versatile double plate LS-ACC-IN15DP for horizontal mounting without opening the device. Attaches with glue and features a threaded hole for a monitoring prism or leveling screw.

Vertical mounting using magnets

Using the LS-ACC-MRHP mounting plate with LS-ACC-MAG magnet kit attached to the back of the plate to mount on metallic surfaces. This is a versatile tiltmeter sensor mounting option.

Mounting on a tilt beam

Using the WS-ACC-BEAMFIX fixation kit for beam accessory mounting.

Pole mounting

Main applications

Discover how to resolve ground movements monitoring in different scenarios easily and cost-effectively with the Worldsensing Tiltmeter.

Geospatial Monitoring

Geotechnical Monitoring

Structural Monitoring

Track geometry assessment

Tiltmeter

Tiltmeter offers a cost-effective way to monitor cant and twist in rail tracks, particularly in geohazard-prone areas. With Triggered Measurements mode monitoring, a secondary low-power accelerometer detects movements such as train passages and activates the main sensor to capture inclination data. This approach minimizes power use and data load while ensuring continuous, reliable oversight, with all results processed in CMT.

Slope stability

Tiltmeter

Monitor stability of slopes and embankments, and rotation of retaining structures due to earth pressure with Tiltmeters.

Early warning for surface movements

Tiltmeter Early Warning System

When rapid detection is necessary for real-time decision-making, use Tiltmeters in Event Detection mode. It offers less than 2 seconds of latency for movement detection. Paired with in-field cameras connected through ThreadX3, they form a complete Early Warning System for end-to-end solution for effective risk management.

Structural health

Tiltmeter Laser Tiltmeter

Monitor static deflections of piles, piers, and decks using Tilt-XHP. Enhance data robustness with a 2-in-1 Laser Tiltmeter, which includes distance laser measurements to a reference point in the monitoring process.

Settlement & heave

Tiltmeter Liquid settlement system Tilt beam

Monitor settlement, heave and building response to tunneling and excavation with a liquid level settlement system connected to the Analog or the Digital data logger. Alternatively, you can use the Tiltmeter attached to a rigid beam and installed in a chain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tiltmeter

What is the Tiltmeter used for?

The Tiltmeter is a 3-axis wireless sensor designed to monitor inclinations, movements, and differential settlements in slopes, railways, tunnels, and other civil infrastructure. It is ideal for both long-term monitoring and event-driven measurements.

How does the Tiltmeter measure movement?

It measures tilt using a high-precision 3-axis MEMS accelerometer. Secondary sensors include motion detection, temperature, and humidity for enhanced reliability and condition monitoring.

What is the communication range for the data logger?

The radio range of any of Loadsensing devices varies depending on the environment. In open sight, the range can reach up to 15 km (9.3 mi), while in a city street it is up to 4 km (2.5 mi). When placed in a manhole in a city street, the range is up to 2 km (1.2 mi), and in a tunnel, it extends up to 4 km (2.5 mi).

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on the configuration: up to 16 years in low-frequency periodic mode, or shorter durations for high-frequency or event-driven monitoring. It uses a standard 3.6V D-size Li-SOCl₂ battery.

What are the installation options?

The Tiltmeter comes in two variants: Tilt-XHP with external antenna for maximum range, and Tilt-IR with internal antenna for compact installations or environments requiring encapsulation. Various mounting plates and kits are available for magnetic, glued, or anchor-based installation.

What certifications does it have?

The Tiltmeter complies with major regional standards: FCC/ISED (North America), MTC/SUBTEL/ANATEL (Latin America), CE/UKCA (Europe & Middle East), and ACMA (Asia & Australia).
