Precision Pitch and Roll Monitoring for Marine and RV Systems

The Simarine SDI01 is a highly accurate pitch and roll sensor designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing monitoring network. Whether you are navigating rough seas in a marine vessel or setting up camp in a caravan, understanding your exact angle of inclination is critical. This high-resolution module delivers real-time data, ensuring your setup is perfectly levelled for optimal comfort, safety, and equipment operation.

Why Accurate Levelling Matters

Operating your systems on an uneven surface can lead to significant issues, particularly in mobile environments. For example, absorption refrigerators commonly found in caravans and camper trailers require a level surface to function correctly; operating them at an angle can cause permanent damage to the cooling unit. Similarly, in marine applications, knowing your exact pitch and roll helps optimise vessel trim, improving fuel efficiency and handling dynamics.

By providing an impressive 0.1-degree resolution, this sensor eliminates the guesswork from your levelling process. It accurately measures angles up to a maximum of 89 degrees on both axes, giving you comprehensive spatial awareness of your vehicle or vessel’s orientation.

Ultra-Low Power Draw and Broad Compatibility

Efficiency is a primary concern for any 12V, 24V, or off-grid power setup. This sensor is engineered for minimal energy consumption, drawing a mere 1mA when connected to a 12V system. This ultra-low power requirement means you can leave the sensor active continuously without draining your battery banks. Furthermore, the wide operating voltage range of 6V to 35V ensures it is fully compatible with standard 12V and 24V marine, automotive, and off-grid electrical networks.

Seamless Installation and SiCOM Integration

Designed specifically for the Simarine ecosystem, the module connects effortlessly to your central monitoring display using the included 4-metre SiCOM data cable. The unit features dual SiCOM ports, allowing for straightforward daisy-chaining with other shunts and modules in your existing setup.

Physical installation is just as simple. The durable external casing features dedicated side mounting flanges with pre-drilled holes for secure screw installation on bulkheads or chassis rails. Once mounted, the sensor can be easily zeroed using the integrated manual calibration button, ensuring an accurate baseline reading regardless of slight mounting angle imperfections.
