Car Incline Meter with Satellite Positioning and Voltage Protection for Slope Measurement

This car incline meter provides reliable on-board measurement of slope angles and altitude, making it a practical tool for off-road driving, terrain assessment, or vehicle monitoring. It operates on a DC5-28V power supply and includes voltage reverse connection protection to prevent damage during installation. With satellite positioning capabilities, it offers cold start in 45 seconds and hot start in just 3 seconds when the vehicle is stationary and in the open air. The device is designed for straightforward use and integrates seamlessly into most vehicle electrical systems.

Features and Construction

This meter is built with electronic components housed in a plastic unit. It includes essential protections and efficiency features for automotive use.

Electrical Specifications

The device runs on a working voltage of DC5-28V, making it suitable for cars, vans, and recreational vehicles with standard electrical systems. It draws a maximum working current of 50ma and reduces to a sleep current of just 5ma when idle, minimising battery drain during periods of non-use.

Protection Circuitry

A voltage reverse connection protection circuit safeguards the meter from damage if the power wires are incorrectly connected. This feature adds reliability during installation and helps extend the product's lifespan in automotive environments.

Satellite Positioning

The meter uses satellite positioning to determine incline and altitude data. Cold start time is 45 seconds, and hot start takes only 3 seconds when the vehicle has been stationary and in the open air, ensuring quick readiness after power-on.

Uses and Placement

This incline meter is designed for vehicles that need accurate slope and altitude readings, particularly in off-road or uneven terrain.

Off-Road Navigation

When driving off-road, knowing the incline angle can help avoid rollovers and assess climbing capability. The meter provides real-time data to support safer driving decisions on steep slopes.

Altitude Monitoring

For drivers crossing mountain passes or varied elevations, the altitude measurement feature offers useful height information. The meter works in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C, covering most climates.

Benefits and Buying Value

This product offers practical utility for drivers who need reliable slope and altitude data without complex setup.

Low Power Consumption

With a sleep current of only 5ma, the meter consumes minimal power when the vehicle is off. This reduces the risk of draining the car battery during extended parking periods.

Straightforward Installation

The voltage reverse protection simplifies wiring connections, making installation safer for DIY users. The OBD colour option provides a standard look for vehicle integration.
