PRELIMINARY 15208A 25208A 35208A Uniaxial Digital Accelerometers User Configurable ±250 g, ±500 g Wide Bandwidth Biaxial Triaxial 8A This Spectrum Sensors product is subject to U.S. Export Law. 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 output of up to three calibrated, ranged and filtered channels are provided 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 and compensated 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 specified engineering units. Self-Test Self-test commands help verify channel integrity and wiring connections. Small Size Complete conditioned uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial accelerometers with digital signal processing in just two cubic inches. uilt-In Power Supply Regulation B Continuous unregulated DC power from +8.5 to +36 volts is all that is required to measure accelerations on all axes. 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 with Minimal Wiring Requirements A built-in terminal block or cable with 9-pin connector simplifies wiring. Wiring can be minimized by daisy-chaining the two multidrop RS-485 pins on up to 30 digital accelerometers. Tapped holes on bottom and back simplify horizontal or vertical mounting. Suitable for Harsh Environments These accelerometers are robust and can be used in harsh environments, surviving 4000 g powered or unpowered. Warranty Spectrum Sensors digital accelerometers come with a three-year factory warranty. *Data subject to change without notice Inertial Measurements Made Fast and Easy These Spectrum Sensors digital accelerometers are complete, easy-to-use, 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.
