3 Safety information
3.1 Intended use
The TMS/TMM inclination sensors are measuring devices consisting of an electronic
sensor and integrated evaluation electronics. The tasks for which the measuring device
is designed include recording inclinations in solar thermal energy, photovoltaics, or

4 Overview
4.1 Properties of the TMS/TMM22
•Inclination sensors with measuring range of up to 360° (1-axis) or up to ± 90°
(2-axis)
•Wear-free MEMS technology for consistently high precision and signal quality
•Measurement accuracy: ± 0.25°
•Analog interfaces 0 to 10 V and 4 to 20 mA available or customizable
•Enclosure ratings IP66, IP68 and IP69K
•Preset function for zeroing during installation
•Suitable for industrial use with temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C
The TMS22 (single-axis) and TMM22 (dual-axis) inclination sensors enable cost-effec‐
tive inclination measurement with high precision. The foundation for this is powerful
MEMS technology, which scores points with a maximum error tolerance of ± 0.25°
and excellent repeatability. The measured values are output via a linearized analog
signal. In order to meet the highest requirements in terms of resistance for outdoor
applications such as PV systems, the sensor electronics are embedded directly into
the housing during injection molding. Therefore, TMS/TMM22 devices comply with the
regulations according to enclosure rating IP66, IP68, IP69K. The compact design with a
height of just 10.4 mm also makes nearly unlimited integration options possible.
4.2 Areas of application
•Photovoltaics and solar thermal energy
•Mobile agricultural and forestry machinery
•Vertical storage systems
•Crane and lifting technology
•Automated guided vehicle systems
•Construction machinery and special-purpose vehicles
•Wind power plants

for any damage that may have occurred in transit. In the case of transit damage that is
visible externally, proceed as follows:
•Do not accept the delivery or only do so conditionally.
•Note the extent of damage on the transport documents or on the transport compa‐
ny’s delivery note.
•File a complaint.
NOTE
Complaints regarding defects should be filed as soon as these are detected. Damage
claims are only valid before the applicable complaint deadlines.
6.3 Storage
Store the device under the following conditions:
•Recommendation: Use the original packaging.
•Do not store outdoors.
•Store in a dry area that is protected from dust.
•To allow any residual dampness to evaporate, do not package in airtight contain‐
ers.
