Wireless Tiltmeter: Simple Monitoring Without the Cable Hassle
wireless tiltmeter
Getting real-time tilt data used to mean running cables across a job site—more clutter, more failure points. Kingmach has been manufacturing geotechnical instruments long enough to know that sometimes the best innovation is taking something away. Their wireless tiltmeter strips out the wiring without cutting into data quality, so you can watch slope movement or structural lean from a laptop on the other side of town. It’s a straightforward fix for engineers tired of trenching cable for every new sensor.
Technical Detail
Configured around process stability, mold life, and long-term uptime.
Kingmach builds these wireless tiltmeters around the same sensor core as their wired models, just packaged for a world where site access is limited and labor isn’t cheap. A sealed enclosure with integrated battery keeps things running for months, and the radio throws data to a gateway that talks to your existing monitoring platform. You can bolt it onto a retaining wall, sink it into a borehole, or strap it to a bridge pier—same unit, multiple mounting brackets. Configurable sampling intervals let you trade off battery life against update frequency, and the threshold alerts push through SMS or email when angles cross a line you set. It’s not the fanciest tech in the catalog, but for long-term inclination monitoring on mid-budget projects, it does the job without the drama of wired networks. Kingmach stocks a range of options: single-axis for straightforward slide detection, dual-axis when you need to track tilt in two planes. Global distribution means you can get these in Canada as easily as in Chile, and the support team can walk your crew through the first install by video call if needed.

FAQ
Common technical questions
How does the wireless tiltmeter handle power in remote locations?
The unit carries its own battery pack, sized to last anywhere from a few months to over a year depending on how often you sample. For truly off-grid sites, you can pair it with a small solar panel to top up between readings.
Can I use these wireless tiltmeters with my existing SCADA or data platform?
Most likely yes. The gateway spits out data over standard industrial protocols like Modbus or MQTT. Kingmach’s tech support can normally sort out the mapping so the numbers land where you need them on your dashboard.
What’s the real accuracy I can expect in the field?
Out of the box, a standard unit will hold ±0.05° over the working range after a proper field calibration. Temperature drift does show up around the edges, so for high-precision jobs you might want the temperature-compensated model.
How do you install one of these on a vertical surface?
Most come with a bracket that takes two anchors into concrete or steel. Line it up with a bubble level, tighten down, and you’re done. For softer ground, there’s an optional stake that drives in with a sledge.
