ABSTRACT:
An inclinometer comprising a sector weight pivotally supported on a main body which may become inclined, the weight being relatively rotatable with respect to the main body and constantly hanging vertically due to gravity regardless of an inclination of the main body. A code part is provided on the weight, corresponding to a plurality of bits based on a predetermined code according to a relative rotary angle of the weight with respect to the main body, and a detecting part which becomes inclined together with the main body and becomes displaced with respect to the weight along each of the bits of the code part, produces a detection output based on the predetermined code according to the inclination angle of the main body.
