Other Output Sensitivities Available DESCRIPTION The P-CapTM model 2264 accelerometer is a high performance and wide temperature range accelerometer intended to directly replace piezoresistive units for existing and new applications. It uses a capacitive sensing element and an advanced ASIC to simulate the operation of a piezoresistive bridge. 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. Internal regulation is provided to eliminate the effects of excitation voltage variation. Unlike piezoresistive elements, its sensitivity, bias and frequency response are insensitive to temperature changes or thermal gradients. The cable’s shield is electrically connected to the case while the ground (GND) wire is isolated from the case. An optional initial calibration sheet (2264-CAL) and periodic calibration checking are also available. OPERATION The P-CapTM model 2264 can be operated from supply voltages ranging from ±3 to ±11 VDC. It 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 resulting from a force pushing on the bottom of the package. The signal outputs are fully differential about a common mode voltage that is midway between the two supply voltages which is 0 volts when equal plus and minus supplies are used. The output sensitivity or scale factor is independent of changes in the excitation voltage. At zero acceleration, the output differential voltage is nominally 0 volts DC; at ±full scale acceleration the output differential voltage is ±0.5 volts DC respectively. Single supply operation is also possible by connecting -Exc to ground and +Exc to +6 to +22 VDC but the average value of the +OUT and -OUT signals will be at ½ the supply voltage and each output will swing from ±0.25 volts around the ½ supply voltage level. Standard cable length is 1 meter. APPLICATIONS ! CRASH TESTING ! MODAL ANALYSIS ! VIBRATION MONITORING ! ROBOTICS ! VIBRATION ANALYSIS ! FLIGHT TESTING ! MACHINE CONTROL !
