Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 2220 is an advanced analog accelerometer module designed for commercial and industrial applications. It features a capacitive micromachined sensor, nitrogen damping, and offers both differential and single-ended output options. The module is rugged, low noise, and operates over a wide temperature range.
Specifications: The accelerometer provides a ±4V differential output or a 0.5V to 4.5V single-ended output. It operates with a power supply of +9 to +32V DC and can function in temperatures ranging from -55 to +125°C. The module is capable of driving up to 15 meters of cable and responds to both DC and AC acceleration.
Available G-Ranges: The Model 2220 is available in various g-ranges, including ±2g, ±5g, ±10g, ±25g, ±50g, ±100g, and ±200g.
Description: The Model 2220 is an enhanced version of the Model 2210, featuring a wider temperature range and improved performance. It integrates a Model 1221L accelerometer with low impedance buffering, making it suitable for zero to medium frequency applications. The module is housed in an anodized aluminum case, which is epoxy sealed for durability.
Operation: The accelerometer produces two analog voltage outputs that vary with acceleration. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the package bottom, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom. The output scale factor is independent of the supply voltage.
Applications: The Model 2220 is suitable for flight tests, vibration monitoring and analysis, robotics, machine control, modal analysis, crash testing, and instrumentation.
Signal Descriptions: The module uses red and black wires for power and ground, and green and white wires for analog output. At zero acceleration, outputs are nominally 2.5 volts.
Performance: The accelerometer offers a frequency response range from 0 to 3000 Hz, depending on the model. Sensitivity varies by model, with differential sensitivity ranging from 20 mV/g to 2000 mV/g. The module can withstand mechanical shocks up to 2000g.
Cable Specifications: The cable consists of four 28 AWG wires with Teflon FEP insulation and a braided shield. It supports cable lengths up to 15 meters without testing for instability, but longer lengths should be checked for oscillation.
Differential vs. Single-Ended Operation: The best performance is achieved with a differential connection using both AOP and AON outputs. Single-ended operation is possible but results in reduced signal-to-noise ratio and increased susceptibility to noise.

This rugged module combines an integrated model 1221L accelerometer with high drive, low impedance buffering for measuring acceleration in commercial/industrial environments. It is tailored for zero to medium frequency instrumentation applications. The anodized aluminum case is epoxy sealed and is easily mounted via two #4 (or M3) screws. On-board regulation is provided to minimize the effects of supply voltage variation. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. The cable’s shield is electrically connected to the case while the ground (GND) wire is isolated from the case. An initial calibration sheet (2220-CAL) is included and periodic calibration checking is available. OPERATION The Model 2220 accelerometer module produces two analog voltage outputs, which vary with acceleration as shown in the graph on the next page. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom of the package. The signal outputs are fully differential about a common mode voltage of approximately 2.5 volts. The output scale factor is independent from the supply voltage of +9 to +32 volts. At zero acceleration the output differential voltage is nominally 0 volts DC; at ±full scale acceleration the output differential voltage is ±4 volts DC respectively.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS Vs and GND (Power): Red and Black wires respectively. Power (+9 to +32 Volts DC) and ground. AOP and AON (Output): Green and White wires respectively. Analog output voltages proportional to acceleration; AOP voltage increases (AON decreases) with positive acceleration. At zero acceleration both outputs are nominally equal to 2.5 volts. The device experiences positive (+lg) acceleration with its lid facing up in the Earth's gravitational field. Either output can be used individually or the two outputs can be used differentially.

Model 2220 CABLE SPECIFICATIONS & LENGTH CONSIDERATIONS The cable consists of four 28 AWG (7x36) tin plated copper wires with Teflon FEP insulation surrounded by a 40 AWG tin plated copper braided shield. The shield jacket is Teflon FEP with a nominal outer diameter of 0.096”. Cable lengths of up to 15 meters (50 feet) can be added to the standard 1 meter cable without the need to test for output instability. For lengths longer than 15 meters, we recommend you check each individual installation for oscillation by tapping the accelerometer and watching the differential output for oscillation in...
