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 1500 g powered or unpowered.
Warranty
Measurement Specialties digital accelerometers come with a three-year
factory warranty.

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.
