15203B 25203B 35203B Uniaxial Biaxial Triaxial Digital Accelerometers User Configurable ±1 g to ±15 g 3 Technical Data* Features and Benefits User Configurable Settings The analog/digital output range and low-pass filter of each digital accelerometer axis can be set via a built-in RS-485 interface using a free, downloadable Instrument Configuration Utility (ICU). An RS-485 to RS-232 adapter is available. RS-485 Serial and Analog Outputs Calibrated, ranged and filtered data can be streamed out at up to 3 Mbit/sec via RS-485. Analog outputs are also available for compatibility with existing systems. High Accuracy and Linearity over Wide Temperature Range Accelerometer accuracy is improved by minimizing variations due to temperature and aging effects. Each axial sensor has been tested over the -40° to + 85°C temperature range. Built-in Calibration Calibration data for each sensor is maintained in the accelerometer. All digital data output is fully calibrated and easily converted to user-configurable engineering units. Self-Test Self-test commands help verify channel integrity and wiring connections. Small Size Complete conditioned triaxial accelerometer with digital signal processing in approximately two cubic inches. 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. Digital accelerometers are ideal for automotive applications as they survive both continuous reverse battery and load dump transients. MIL-STD-704A compatible. Easy Installation with Minimal Wiring Requirements A built-in terminal block or cable with 9-pin connector simplifies wiring. Tapped holes on bottom and back simplify horizontal or vertical mounting. Suitable for Harsh Environments These accelerometers are aluminum encased, potted, and are rugged enough to be used in harsh environments. Warranty These Measurement Specialties digital accelerometers come with a threeyear factory warranty. 15203B.25203B.35203B Digital Accelerometer precisionsensors.meas-spec.com Inertial Measurements Made Fast and Easy These Measurement Specialties digital accelerometers are complete, easy-touse, user-configurable sensors containing one to three accelerometers, a temperature sensor, signal processor, RS-485 interface and three analog outputs in a small, easy-to-install package. All channels are sampled simultaneously to avoid data skewing. The digital signal processor takes 16-bit samples, filters, ranges, and calibration compensates at up to 42,500 samples/sec/channel. Digital data can be streamed out at up to 3 Mbit/sec. The output range, filter frequency and calibration of each channel, as well as telemetry configuration, can be set by the user via the RS-485 command processor. CRC-8 and CRC-16 error checking is used to ensure command and data integrity. The built-in temperature sensor can be used by critical applications to correct for any residual temperature effects. 2236 N.
