Product catalog summary
Overview: The AC-43-DH is a triaxial downhole accelerometer designed for strong-motion earthquake monitoring and vibration analysis. It utilizes MEMS technology for high precision and reliability, offering a cost-effective solution with low power consumption and robust mechanical design.
Features: The accelerometer supports a full scale of ±2 g, with optional ranges up to ±5 g. It operates within a bandwidth of DC to 100 Hz and is known for high shock survivability, wide operational temperature range, and high lifetime stability. The device is designed to fit in a 3-inch casing, making it suitable for various borehole applications.
Specifications: The sensor element is a MEMS inertial sensor with a dynamic range of 88.5 dB at 2 g FS and 96.5 dB at 5 g FS. It features a noise level of 150 ugRMS, nonlinearity of less than 0.3%, and cross-axis sensitivity of less than 2%. The power supply voltage ranges from 7 to 15 VDC, with an optional range up to 30 VDC, and a consumption of 9 mA at 12 VDC.
Environmental and Housing: The accelerometer is housed in a fully sealed aluminum cylinder with a diameter of 55 mm and a length of 420 mm, weighing 3.5 kg. It is rated IP68, capable of withstanding up to 10 bars of water pressure, and operates in temperatures from -40 to 85°C.
Installation and Accessories: The device can be oriented using a 3-inch inclinometer casing with guide wheels. Accessories include a DH-TUBE inclinometer casing, installation kit for up to 100 meters, and DH-BALL glass balls for sensor settlement.
Ordering Information: When ordering, specify the type of AC-4x-DH, desired acceleration full scale, borehole depth, and total cable length.

AC - 43 / AC - 42 / AC - 41 - DH  Downhole Accelerometer-1

GeoSIG Ltd Wiesenstrasse 39 8952 Schlieren Switzerland AC-43 / AC-42 / AC-41-DH Downhole Accelerometer Features  Full Scale ± 2 g (± 0.625, 1, 4, 5 g optional) MEMS Inertial Sensor High shock survivability Wide operational temperature range High lifetime stability Cost effective sensor Simple test and calibration Strong mechanical design Fits in 3 inch casing Outline The AC-43-DH sensor package is a triaxial accelerometer designed for borehole applications regarding strong motion earthquake survey and monitoring. The AC-43 accelerometer is based on the modern MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology, consisting of sensing cells assembled in a way that optimizes their performances. This combined with the state of the art proprietary circuit design yields this cost effective and reliable accelerometer. MEMS cells include linear accelerometer sensing elements which measure the capacitance variation in response to any movement or inclination and a factory trimmed interface chip that converts the capacitance variations into analog or digital signal proportional to the motion. The DC response allows the sensor to be easily repaired, tilt tested or recalibrated in the field. With the help of the TEST LINE the AC-43 accelerometer can be completely tested assuring proper operation. 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.
