Rugged Black Anodized Aluminum Module DESCRIPTION The Model 2012 accelerometer module provides a rugged protective case around an integrated model 1210L accelerometer for measuring accelerations in commercial/industrial environments. It is tailored for zero to medium frequency instrumentation applications. The anodized aluminum case is epoxy sealed and is easily mounted via two #4 (or M3) screws. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. The cable’s shield is electrically connected to the case while the ground (GND) wire is isolated from the case. An optional initial calibration sheet (2012-CAL) and periodic calibration checking are also available. Please refer to the Model 2210 for applications that require a lower output impedance or greater power supply rejection ratio than the Model 2012 provides.

The signal outputs are fully differential about a common mode voltage of ½ VDD (approximately 2.5 volts). At zero acceleration, the output differential voltage is nominally zero volts; at +full scale acceleration, the output differential voltage is +4 volts; at -full scale acceleration the output differential voltage is -4 volts. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom of the package. SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS VDD and GND (Power): Red and Black wires respectively. Power (+5 Volts DC) and ground. AOP and AON (Output): Green & white wires respectively. AOP voltage increases (AON decreases) with positive acceleration. At zero acceleration, both outputs are nominally equal to 2.5 volts. The device experiences positive (+1g) acceleration with its lid facing up in the Earth’s gravitational field. Either output can be used individually or the pair can be used differentially.

Fax: 425-391-0446 web site: www.silicondesigns.com [page 2] Sep 07 Model 2012 Analog Accelerometer Module CABLE SPECIFICATIONS & LENGTH CONSIDERATIONS The cable consists of four 26 AWG (7x34) silver plated copper wires with PTFE insulation surrounded by a braided shield. The shield jacket is a PTFE tape wrap with a nominal outer diameter of 0.131”. Extending the model 2012's one meter cable is not recommended. If you do decide to connect additional cable, we recommend you check each individual installation for oscillation by tapping the accelerometer and watching the differential output for oscillation in the 20kHz to 50kHz region. If no oscillation is present, then the additional cable length being used is OK for that particular device. CONVERTING THE 2012's DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT TO SINGLE ENDED C1 = C2 (See below for value calculation) R1, R2, R3 & R4 = 20kΩ to 50kΩ R1 = R3 to within 0.1% for good common mode rejection R2 = R4 to within 0.1% for good common mode rejection R2 / R1 ratio accurate to within 0.1% for gain control R4 / R3 ratio accurate to within 0.1% for gain control To achieve the highest resolution and lowest noise performance from your model 2012 accelerometer module, it should be connected to your voltage measurement instrument in a differential configuration using both the AOP and AON output signals. If your measurement instrument lacks differential input capability or you desire to use a differential input capable instrument in single ended mode, then the circuit above can be used to preserve the low noise performance of the model 2012 while using a single ended type connection. This circuit converts the ± 4 Volt differential output of the model 2012 accelerometer, centered at +2.5 Volts, to a single ended output centered about ground (0.0 Volts). It provides the advantage of low common mode noise by preventing the accelerometer’s ground current from causing an error in the voltage reading. The op-amp should be located as close as possible to your voltage monitoring equipment so that the majority of the signal path is differential. Any noise present along the differential path will affect both wires to the same degree and the op-amp will reject this noise because it is a common mode signal. The op-amp type is not critical; a µA741 or ¼ of a LM124 can be used. Both plus and minus supplies are needed for the op-amp to accommodate the positive and negative swings of the single ended output. The same +5V supply can be used for both the op-amp and the 2012 or a higher voltage positive supply can be used for the op-amp if you need a larger single ended output swing. For this design, always set R1 = R3, R2 = R4 and C1 = C2. The gain of the circuit is then determined by the ratio R2/R1. When R1 = R2 = R3 = R4, the gain equals 1 and the output swing will be ± 4 Volts single ended with respect to ground. To obtain a ± 5 Volt single ended output, set R2/R1 = R4/R3 = 5/4 = 1.25. The single ended output of the op-amp will be centered at ground if R2 and C1 are tied to ground; using some other fixed voltage for this reference will shift the output. The value of the optional capacitors C1 and C2 (C1 = C2) can be selected to roll off the frequency response to the frequency range of interest. The cutoff frequency f0 (-3 dB frequency) for this single order low pass filter is given by: f0 = 1 2π R2 C1 SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Silicon Designs, Inc. ! 1445-NW Mall Street, Issaquah, WA 98027-5344 !
