HONEYWELL-ACC QA-T160

Honeywell
QA-T160 and QA-T185 Accelerometer
High Temperature Energy Sensors
The integral Q-Flex electronics develop an
acceleration-proportional output current providing both
static and dynamic acceleration measurements. By use
of a customer-supplied output load resistor,
appropriately scaled for the acceleration range of the
application, the output current can be converted into a
voltage.
The QA-T160 and QA-T185 also include a currentoutput internal temperature sensor. By applying
temperature-compensating algorithms, bias, scale
factor, and axis misalignment performance are
dramatically improved.
Robust design and quality assurance provides superior
reliability.
For high-temperature Q-Flex® technology in a
ruggedized package, Honeywell produces the QA-T160
and QA-T185 models for down-hole measurement-whiledrilling and wireline applications.
Features
•
•
•
As with the entire Q-Flex accelerometer family, QA-T160 •
and QA-T185 feature a patented Q-Flex etched-quartz•
flexure seismic system. An amorphous quartz proofmass
•
structure provides excellent bias, scale factor, and axis
•
alignment stability.
