Q-Flex® QA-1500 Accelerometer High-g tactical navigation sensor Providing high-g tactical navigation capability, Honeywell The QA1500 also includes a current- output, internal produces the Q-Flex® QA1500 primarily for tactical temperature sensor. By applying temperature-compensating missile guidance applications. algorithms, bias, scale factor, and axis misalignment As with the entire Q-Flex family of accelerometers, the QA1500 features a patented Q-Flex® etched-quartzflexure seismic system. An amorphous quartz proofmass structure provides excellent bias, scale factor, and axis alignment stability. The integral Q-Flex electronics develops an accelerationproportional 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. Configuration Drawings performance are dramatically improved. Robust design and quality assurance provides superior reliability.
