Abstract

The invention concerns an appliance indicating the inclination of a device along two spatial directions (3, 4), said appliance being designed to be associated with the device (22), and comprising a housing (1) wherein are arranged: a first instantaneous inclination sensor for measuring a first inclination value (8), a second instantaneous inclination sensor for measuring a second inclination value (9), an electronic processing unit. The invention is characterized in that said electronic processing unit is designed to store set point values (6, 7), and to compare them respectively with the measured inclination values (8, 9), and to compute calculated inclination values (10, 11) which correspond to values of the difference between the measured inclination values (8, 9) and the set point values (6, 7), said inclination sensors comprising semiconductor electronic accelerometer type sensors. The invention applicable to an inclination indicator.
