Technical Data*
Features and Benefits
High Accuracy and Linearity over Wide Temperature Range
The voltage output for the XL403A is directly proportional to the acceleration
along the axis. Each DC-coupled output is fully scaled, referenced, and
temperature compensated. Accuracy is improved by minimizing variations
due to temperature and aging effects, resulting in sensors that are more
stable over temperature than piezoelectric or piezoresistive devices.
Calibration Certificate
Each XL403A 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. The alignment data can
be used to compensate the measured values if needed.
Self-Test on Digital Command
A TTL-compatible self-test input causes a simulated acceleration to be
injected into the accelerometer to verify channel integrity.
Small Size
Complete conditioned uniaxial, biaxial, or triaxial accelerometer in less than
a cubic inch.
­ uilt-In Power Supply Regulation
B
Unregulated DC power from +8.5 to +36 Volts is all that is required to measure
acceleration and temperature. Reverse power voltages of up to -80 V can
be withstood indefinitely. Transients of +80 V for 550 ms compatible with
MIL-STD-704A can be withstood with full operation.
Easy Installation
Integrated cable with 9-pin connector makes it easy to wire. Two throughholes and four tapped holes simplify mounting.
­ uitable for Harsh Environments
S
The XL403A is robust and can be used in harsh environments. The unit will
survive 5000 g powered or unpowered.
Earth Friendly Design
Lead-free design makes the XL403A environmentally safe while
Measurement Specialties’ assembly process ensures reliable functionality.
Fully potted electronics eliminates the possibility of tin whiskers-related
failures.
Warranty
These Measurement Specialties accelerometers come with a three-year
factory warranty.

Measurements
The Measurement Specialties
XL403A is ready when you are.
In stock and ready to ship, you
can be taking measurements in
less time than with built-to-order
accelerometers.
The small size and built-in power
regulation allow the XL403A to
fit where other accelerometers
can’t. Choose bandwidth up to
800 Hz and range options of ±1 g
to ±15 g to measure accelerations
on one, two or three axes.
Tested over the -40 to +85°C
temperature
range,
the
accelerometers have a nominal
full scale output swing of ±2
Volts. The zero g output level is
nominally +2.5 Volts. Precise
values are available on the
included calibration certificate.
