XL403A ±1 g to ±15 g Rugged Uniaxial, Biaxial, or Triaxial Accelerometer for Quick Shipment 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.

Cleveland-Massillon Road Akron OH 44333 PH : 330-659-3312 Get Started on Simplified Acceleration and Temperature 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. 7/19/2013 www.meas-spec.com Specifications - improved specifications available upon request Ta = Tmin to Tmax; 8.5 ≤ Vs ≤ 36 V; Acceleration = 0 g unless otherwise noted; within one year of calibration.
