Indicator puts two sensors on the level
The RAD2 remote angle dual sensor display is the latest addition to Rieker's RDI Series of digital inclinometers.
The RAD2 remote angle dual sensor display is the latest addition to Rieker's RDI Series of digital inclinometers Designed to take angle measurements in remote locations, this battery powered digital LCD box can be matched with any of Rieker's sensor inclinometers to provide a stand-alone angle-measurement system

Digital inclinometer improves off-road safety
The Rieker RDI Series digital inclinometer is a complete angle monitoring and warning system.
Warning system puts a new slant on safety
The SlopeAlert tilt warning system has undergone many changes and improvements allowing for a multitude of options to suit the needs of just about any application.
As with all of the RDI series, the LCD can be factory programmed to display degrees, percent grade, or inch per foot rise.
Multiple sensors can be used interchangeably with one display box to co-ordinate multiple remote locations.
Relative zero and min/max functions are standard on all remote angle displays.
The relative zero allows the operator to temporarily zero the digital readout to obtain relative slope changes.
The operator will always know when the device is in the relative mode by a symbol displayed after the angle.
The min/max function provides the smallest and largest angle the device has sensed since it was last reset.
The optional relative difference function can be programmed to give the difference between the top and bottom sensors.
The following standard RDI output options are available with the use of the optional wall adapter: dual display capability; front panel green, yellow, and red LEDs; RS232 outputs; up to three open collector switch outputs that can be set to switch anywhere within the external sensors measurement range.
These outputs can then be used to drive external buzzers, horns, lamps, solenoids, or relays allowing for audible and visual warnings.
The RAD2 model is perfect for any application that requires remote angle sensing such as audio system (remote speakers) alignment or platform levelling.
