The Jewell Instruments A906 Little Dipper Inclonimeter is an in-place inclinometer system for monitoring slopes, embankments, deep excavations, tunnels, tank foundations, retaining walls and other types of ground movement. Installed as a string of vertical or horizontal sensors inside inclinometer casing, or by direct burial, this instrument provides a continuous record of ground displacement. Fiberglass rods connect the sensors inside the casing, and fins or universal pivots couple the sensors to the casing walls. Little Dipper’s on-board electronics accept a wide input voltage range and drive long cables without signal loss. The waterproof and non-corrodible ABS sensor housing also makes the Little Dipper a popular tool for underwater tilt measurements in shallow marine applications. Select analog voltage output (biaxial) or 4-20 mA output (uniaxial only).
Applications for the A906 Little Dipper include:
Monitor lateral movement of slopes, embankments, trenches and tunnel walls
Monitor ground settlement beneath tanks and fills
Monitor surface movements by direct burial in shallow boreholes
Cast Little Dippers in place to monitor structural deformation
