Features and Benefits
Precision Alignment
Each axis of the Measurement Specialties 34208A is precision aligned to
minimize errors due to axis misalignment or transverse sensitivity.
High Accuracy and Linearity over Wide Temperature Range
The voltage output for each axis of the 34208A 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
range. Accuracy is improved by minimizing variations due to temperature
and aging effects, resulting in a sensor that is more stable over temperature
than piezoelectric or piezoresistive devices.
Calibration Certificate
Each 34208A is supplied with a calibration certificate listing sensitivity and
offset, as well as 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 to achieve an even higher
level of sensor accuracy.
Self-Test on Digital Command
A TTL-compatible self-test low 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 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.
Suitable for Harsh Environments
The 34208A is robust and can be used in harsh environments. The unit will
survive 4000 g powered or unpowered.
Warranty
These Measurement Specialties accelerometers come with a three-year
factory warranty.

Real -World Accelerations
The Measurement Specialties
34208A accelerometer has each
mutually orthogonal axis precisely
aligned within 0.75 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
calibration certificate to compensate
for any small residual error.
Choose the bandwidth and range
options best suited for your application
to measure up to ±250 g or ±500 g
accelerations on each of three axes.
Each axial sensor has been tested over
the -40 to +85°C temperature range
and has a nominal full scale output
swing of ±2 volts. The zero g output
level is nominally +2.5 volts. Precise
values for each axis are available on
the included calibration certificate.
