Technical Data*
Features and Benefits
Precision
The Measurement Specialties 34201A Triaxial Accelerometer offers precision
measurements over the entire -40 to +85°C temperature range with superior
bias stability and approximately 100 µg measurement resolution.
High Accuracy and Linearity over Wide Temperature Range
The voltage output for each axis of the 34201A is directly proportional to the
acceleration along that axis. Each DC-coupled output is fully scaled,
referenced and temperature compensated over the entire -40 to +85°C
temperature range. Our internal temperature compensation routine provides
for unrivaled measurement accuracy over varying temperatures.
Calibration Certificate
Each 34201A is supplied with a calibration certificate listing sensitivity and
offset, as well as the on-axis and transverse alignment parameters needed
to ensure rapid and efficient system implementation.
Self-Test on Digital Command
A TTL-compatible self-test input causes a simulated acceleration to be
injected into all three sensors to verify channel integrity.
Small Size
Complete conditioned triaxial accelerometer in less than one cubic inch.
­ uilt-In Power Supply Regulation
B
Unregulated DC power from +8.5 to +36 volts is all that is required to
measure accelerations on all axes.
Suitable for Harsh Environments
The 34201A is robust and can be used in harsh environments. The unit will
survive 3500 g powered and unpowered.
Warranty
These Measurement Specialties accelerometers come with a three-year
factory warranty.

Real -World Accelerations
The Measurement Specialties 34201A
accelerometer has each mutually
orthogonal axis precisely aligned,
typically within ±0.15 degree of
the theoretical ideal. This provides
the accuracy required by most
measurement applications without any
compensation. Critical applications
requiring higher accuracy can use the
alignment data provided on the optional
calibration certificate to compensate for
any small residual error.
Choose the bandwidth and range
options best suited for your application
to measure ±1 g, ±1.5 g, or ±2 g
accelerations on each of three axes.
Each axial sensor has been tested over the
-40 to +85°C temperature range and has
has a nominal full scale output swing of ±2
volts. The zero g output level is nominally
+2.5 volts and temperature compensated
over the range of -40 to +85°C. Precise
values for each axis are available on the
included calibration certificate.
