BUILT-IN DATA LOGGING
The H6 offers basic data logging capabilities. The amount of data that can be stored is dependent on the amount of memory available on the sensor.
RUGGED, ALL-WEATHER
With IP68 rating, operating temperature from -40° C to 85° C , and underwater operation tested up to 75 feet, the H6 is the perfect all-weather electronic sensor for any environmental conditions. The rugged metal housing coupled with vibration and shock resistance make this sensor perfect for even the roughest conditions. The H6 is also available in a rugged Stainless Steel Housing.
VARIABLE MOUNTING
You are no longer constrained to mounting your sensors in a single orientation. The H6 inclinometer can be configured for multiple mounting positions for every application.
H6 Configurable Digital Inclinometer
$535.00
Product Overview:
The H6 inclinometer provides highly accurate tilt sensing in a rugged metal IP68 rated ALL-weather housing. Operating temperature from -40° C to 85° C and underwater operation tested up to 75 feet makes the H6 a perfect inclinometer for most environments. The H6 is also available in a Stainless Steel Housing. The output parameters can be modified at the factory to meet your specifications (i.e. range, polarity). We also offer the Flex Series Development Kit allowing the end user to modify the sensor as needed right from a PC – providing full flexibility for R&D and OEM production lines.
Input and Output cables are sold separately here.
Multiple H6 sensors can be daisy-chained together in a row for monitoring along bridge spans, solar field arrays, and other applications that would benefit from multiple sensors. Daisy-chain cables are sold separately here.

FAQs About the H6 Flex Series Digital Inclinometer
What Is A Digital Inclinometer Sensor?
A digital inclinometer sensor electronically measures angular position relative to gravity. Unlike a mechanical inclinometer with a visual scale, it provides measurement data through an analog or digital output for use by a display, control system, data logger, or connected monitoring system.
What Makes The H6 Flex Series Different From A Standard Digital Inclinometer?
The H6 Flex Series is a software-configurable inclinometer platform designed to accommodate different measurement and integration requirements. It can be configured for any defined angular range up to ±180°, with single-axis, dual-axis, and multi-mount sensing configurations available.
Depending on the selected model, output options include analog current, analog voltage, and RS-485 digital communication. Measurement range, filtering, scaling, output behavior, and other supported parameters can be configured using the Flexware Toolkit.
This allows one sensor platform to be adapted for applications ranging from equipment control and position feedback to structural monitoring and data acquisition.
What Accuracy Does The H6 Digital Inclinometer Provide?
H6 accuracy is tested and verified across the sensor’s full operating temperature range:
- Typical accuracy: ±0.03°
- Maximum accuracy: ±0.075°
Actual measurement performance can also be influenced by the selected range, mounting, vibration, movement, installation alignment, and other operating conditions. Rieker can help determine the appropriate configuration and expected performance for a specific application.
What Single-Axis, Dual-Axis, And Multi-Mount Configurations Are Available For The H6?
The H6 can be configured to match the direction and number of tilt measurements required by the application:
- Single-axis vertical configuration measures angular position through a vertical plane.
- Dual-axis horizontal configuration measures X- and Y-axis tilt simultaneously, commonly described as pitch and roll.
- Multi-mount configuration supports both dual-axis horizontal measurement and single-axis vertical measurement, providing X-, Y-, and Z-angle measurement capability within one sensor configuration.
The available measurement configuration depends on the sensing element and its orientation within the H6 housing. This makes the H6 suitable for horizontal, vertical, or application-specific mounting arrangements.
How Can The H6 Be Configured For Different Applications?
The H6 Flex Series can be configured at the factory or do-it-yourself using the Flexware Toolkit to match the measurement and output requirements of a specific installation. Depending on the selected model, configurable parameters may include measurement range, output scaling, filtering, zero position, alarm or switching thresholds, and data-logging behavior.
