DATA SHEET Operating Specifications Description The 0711-0746-99 Sensor has been used successfully in applications that demand a high accuracy for small angle ranges and excellent null repeatability. The sensor offers excellent stability over time and wide range of temperatures. The hermetic glass to metal construction and solid platinum (platinized) electrodes guarantee a long operating life and stable operating characteristics. Angle Range Resolution Null Repeat Applications Include Construction Laser Instruments and Transits Aircraft Avionics Geophysical Monitoring Machine Tool Leveling Medical Positioning and Monitoring Physical Dimensions Vial length Vial diameter Lead length Impedance of the electrolyte may be changed to limit null current Viscosity of the electrolyte may be modified to meet individual requirements to reduce vibration Sensor Test Circuitry Tests were conducted by exciting the left and right electrodes with an AC signal of 400 Hz and an rms voltage to produce the maximum current at null as per operating specifications. Output readings are taken between the center electrode and the center of the balanced resistors R1 and R2. Tests were conducted at a temperature of +25 C. See sensor test circuitry in figure 3. Output curve is shown in figure 1. OUTPUT SENSITIVITY Figure 1 100 PERCENT OUTPUT 3 Operating Range (max.)
