Product catalog summary
Overview
The AC-23-DH is a triaxial downhole accelerometer designed for strong motion earthquake surveys and industrial applications. It features a robust mechanical design, excellent temperature stability, and does not require field adjustments. The sensor is compatible with GeoSIG recorders and fits in a 3-inch casing.

Specifications
  • Full Scale: ±0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4g, jumper selectable.
  • Bandwidth: 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz, optional 200 Hz.
  • Dynamic Range: >125 dB.
  • Linearity: 0.1%.
  • Accuracy: ±0.4 dB max over the bandwidth.
  • Cross Axis Sensitivity: 1%.
  • Offset Drift: < 1 mV/°C.
  • Span Drift: < 200 ppm/°C.
  • Power Supply: 12 VDC regulated (10 to 15 V), 41 mA typical consumption.
  • Housing: Aluminium cylinder, IP68 rated, 54 mm diameter, 420 mm length, 3.5 kg weight.
  • Temperature Range: Operating: -20 to 70°C, Non-operating: -40 to 90°C.

Applications
The accelerometer is suitable for strong motion earthquake surveys and industrial applications requiring high sensitivity. It can be configured in triaxial, biaxial, or uniaxial setups.

Installation and Accessories
The sensor is installed using inclinometer tubes and guiding wheels for orientation. Optional accessories include a 3-inch inclinometer casing, installation kit, and glass balls for sensor settlement.

Ordering Information
When ordering, specify the type of AC-2x-DH, acceleration full scale, depth of borehole, and total cable length.

AC-2x-DH Accelerometer-1

GeoSIG Ltd Wiesenstrasse 39 8952 Schlieren Switzerland AC-23 / AC-22 / AC-21-DH Downhole Accelerometer Features r Full Scale ± 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4g jumper selectable r Bandwidth 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz (optional 200 Hz) r Dynamic range > 125 dB r Excellent temperature stability r Strong-Motion, Free field and Industrial applications r No field adjustment required r Strong mechanical design r Fits in 3 inch casing Outline The AC-23-DH sensor package is a triaxial accelerometer designed for borehole applications regarding Strong Motion earthquake survey and monitoring. The AC-2x-DH sensors are servo-accelerometers based on a standard exploration geophone massspring system with electronic feedback. This type of sensor gives a very good stability versus temperature or aging because of the very simple principle. The sensor does not require maintenance and has very low aging drift. With the help of the TEST LINE the sensor can be easily, completely tested. The family of AC-2x-DH accelerometer is directly compatible with the GeoSIG recorders. The downhole casing contains the entire sensor system. The sensor is connected through Overvoltage Protection stage to the recorder at the surface with a cable. Using inclinometer tubes and the provided guiding wheels, the sensor can be oriented before insertion in the tube.
