A leveling assembly for analyzing the attitude of a structure such as a
motor vehicle in two axes. The assembly drives leveling devices on the
structure to correct the attitude of the structure relative to a
calibrated reference point or attitude. The assembly includes a controller
connected to the leveling devices and a proportional two-axis tilt sensor
that is connected to the controller and supported on the structure. The
tilt sensor provides analog signals to the controller that represent the
attitude of the structure about longitudinal pitch and lateral roll axes.
The controller also uses those signals to determine the attitude of the
structure relative to a calibrated sensitivity factor and a user-defined
zero point. This allows an operator or installer to determine which
portion of the structure will be leveled without regard to the location of
the tilt sensor and allows an installer to mount the tilt sensor at any
point on the structure.
