The accelerometer utilises MEM technology and has positive mechanical stops confering excellent shock resistance. The -0101 version incorporates a temperature sensor enabling each sensor to be indivually characterised over its operational temperature range. A data sheet containing the characteristic output equation is supplied with each sensor enabling errors due to zero offset, sensitivity error, linearity, thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift to be minimised. By entering the equation coefficents into the host operating software, cost-effective high accuracy acceleration sensing may be achieved. Designed for operation from an unregulated DC power source, the A700 is packaged in a robust aluminium alloy housing with an integral shielded cable connection; the shield is connected to the sensor case. The cable may, as an option, be fitted with an electrical connector.
