Users’ Manual 1 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter INTRODUCTION Encardio-rite model EAN-95MWwirelesstilt meter is suitable for long term monitoring inclination and vertical rotation of structures. Continuous data logging and real-time monitoring helps to provide early warning in case of impending failure allowing time for corrective action to be taken or if necessary for safe evacuation of the area.
Users’ Manual NOTE: EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter Installation personnel must have a background of good installation practices and knowledge of fundamentals of geotechnics. Novices may find it very difficult to carry on installation work. The intricacies involved in installation are such that even if a single essential but apparently minor requirement is ignored or overlooked, the most reliable of instruments will be rendered useless. A lot of effort has been made in preparing this instruction manual.
Users’ Manual 2 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter GENERAL DESCRIPTION Model EAN-95MW wireless tilt meter combines high precision Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor with radio transmission network to provide accurate tilt data. The unit is mounted inside a compact weatherproof enclosure. The tilt sensor provides a bipolar DC voltage output proportional to the sine of tilt angle measured by the beam. The sensor gives 4 V nominal output at ± 15°.

Users’ Manual 4 PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS 4.1 4.2 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter Pre-installation checks • Check the tilt meter and gateway for any physical damage. • Open the tilt meter box and check if the internal wiring is intact. • Install the “ER_Wireless_Tiltmeter” application (provided with the tilt meter supply) on the Android smartphone Setting up the Gateway NOTE: For setting up and configuring the gateway, refer to user’s manual # WI6002.117 on gateway.
Users’ Manual 5 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 5.1 Tilt meter installation The EAN-95MW tilt meter (biaxial) is used to measure rotation of structures in the plane parallel as well as perpendicular to the surface/wall on which the tilt meter is mounted. • The tilt meter box is provided with mounting holes as in figure below. Mounting holes • For installing the tilt meter on wall, mark locations of the four mounting holes.
Users’ Manual • EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter Connect the Smartphone to tilt meter’s RF node using the OTG cable provided with supply. Ensure that the node switch is turned off before connecting the phone.. On-Off switch of RF node section • Switch on the Node. • Open the ER_Wireless_Tiltmeter app on the phone.
Users’ Manual NOTE: • EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter You need to add the Node and create the project first before you commission the tilt meter. Please refer to ‘Gateway Setup’ section in the users’ manual for Gateway for details. Search for the project which you have already created once you open your ER_Wireless_Tiltmeter app. Click the button to download the project and enter in the project, where the project details would be mentioned.
Users’ Manual EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter • Click on “Setup Device” on the menu (at the bottom of screen), the app will show connected node information. • Optional Step: If Wireless Mesh (Relay) function is to be deployed, click on "Wireless Mesh" toggle button to enable. Once done, click on “Setup Sensor”, you can now configure the sensor settings.
Users’ Manual • EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter Sensor setting can be made as follows: Sensor Code: Your desired sensor name. Sensor Type: Select respective sensor type. Parameters: Turn on the parameters as connected to the Node. Excitation: Set the warm up time required for the sensor (for tilt meter, it can be set as 5 seconds). Excitation Voltage: Select 24 (for tilt meter) • Click Save Settings. The Node will now read the configured sensor.
Users’ Manual EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter • Once the tilt meter is configured, click on “Enable Sensor”, it will take you to next page “Scanning Network” which will scan the wireless signal strength (RSSI) between the Node and Gateway. After you get the Network Test information, if you need to, you can refresh by pressing the button located at the lower right corner. • Click “Start Monitoring” button then the app will prompt “Device commissioned”. Click OK.
Users’ Manual EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter • Press the Project Sync button at lower right area to send all the configuration information back to the gateway. • Tilt meter’s RF node configuration is now complete. Close the tilt meter box. • The field engineer can now leave the site. The remaining configuration/changes can be done with the Gateway software dashboard on your laptop by selecting the related project. You willsee the commissioned device under “Device Summary” Section.
Users’ Manual 5.3 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter Gateway installation The gateway can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M3 screws. However, for more sophisticated mounting scenarios, we recommend using the gateway bracket. The gateway bracket can be used to easily mount the gateway on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts, or in other complicated settings.
Users’ Manual 6 EAN-95MW Wireless Tilt meter MEASUREMENT OF TILT The output of model EAN-95MW tilt meter is transmitted via mesh wireless (RF) network. The tilt meter is interfaced with the long range, low power wireless mesh network that allows tilt meter to send recorded datato the Gateway. The Gateway thenuploads all the collected sensor data to the central/cloud server. Thedata management and applicationsoftwareis provided with the supply to configure and manage thetilt meter data. 6.
