Type ELH105 Submersible Wide Angle Sensing Head

The Type ELH105 Submersible Wide Angle Sensing Head is a robust unit with an Aluminium Bronze housing which is resistant to corrosion in the marine environment. A choice of connectors is available giving protection against submersion to depths exceeding 100metres. The housing contains all the necessary drive electronics to measure the angle of the sensor.

The angle reading is available at the output connector in various forms to suit different applications.
For example the output can be
    analogue current     4-20mA;     for driving long cables
    analogue voltage     ±2.0 Volts    for general purpose use
    digital serial output    for input to computer systems
The digital output at RS232 /RS485 levels consists of a synchronising ASCII character followed by the measured angle as a series of ASCII coded numbers.
The data is continuously transmitted while the device is powered up.
Alternative output coding is available to special order.

To achieve the highest specifications the system monitors the temperature of the sensor, and uses the result to correct for zero drift and scale drift.
For optimum performance the sensor should thus be in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings


The Type ELH105 Submersible Wide Angle Sensing Head is available in a variety of range and accuracy specifications from range ±30° to ±60° with accuracy from ±0.1° to ±1. Applications The ELH105 Submersible Sensing Head has been used in a number of severe environment applications including monitoring of Anchor chains for offshore oil production platforms and various sub-sea alignment and positioning tasks
