General OPERATING GUIDE for use with High Sensitivity DC ACCELEROMETERS SPECIFICATION SHEET, INSTALLATION DRAWING AND CALIBRATION INFORMATION ENCLOSED PCB ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO THIS PRODUCT AS A RESULT OF PROCEDURES THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THIS OPERATING GUIDE. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of a quality, DC Lower range, higher sensitivity DC accelerometers, allow...
PCB’s High Sensitivity DC accelerometers are designed simple unregulated DC voltage supply is an acceptable utilizing a MEMS condition for operation, bridge conditioning equipment (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) silicon sensor approach. The micro machining design typically has ZMO adjustment capability and standard process provides sensor design flexibility, reliability &...
structure mounting surface, consider adhesive mounting as STEP 1: Prepare a smooth, flat mounting surface. A minimum surface finish of 32 µin (0.0008 mm) generally a possible alternative). Inspect the area, checking that there are no burrs or other foreign particles interfering works best.

4.2-1 ADHESIVE MOUNT REMOVAL reduce the effects of EMI and RFI that is present near (other than wax) electrical motors and machinery. Teflon-jacketed cabling Caution: It is usually difficult or near impossible to may be necessary to withstand corrosive environments remove a direct adhesive mounted high sensitivity DC and higher temperatures.
STEP 4: Finally, connect the remaining cable end to the signal conditioner. 6.0 Signal Conditioning For optimum performance and flexibility, high sensitivity DC accelerometers benefit from a good stable, low noise dc power supply for excitation (Fig. 6). It should be regulated and stable to within 0.1% or better.
For these reasons, it is recommended that a recalibration cycle be established for each accelerometer. This schedule is unique and is based on a variety of factors, such as: extent of use, environmental conditions, accuracy requirements, trend information obtained from previous calibration records, contractual regulations, frequency of “cross- Figure 9.
Since the Back-to-Back Calibration technique relies on For stud-mount sensors, always mount the accelerometer each sensor experiencing an identical acceleration level, directly to the reference standard. Ensure that the mounting proper mounting of the test sensor to the reference surfaces are smooth, flat, and free of any burrs. Always use a standard is imperative.

Understand Back-to-Back Calibration limitations. Do not time, and risk associated with self-calibration versus expect the uncertainty of calibration to be any better than utilizing the services of an accredited laboratory. ±2%. (In fact, the uncertainty may be as high as ±3% or ±4% for frequencies <10 Hz or >2 kHz.) Since large sensors may affect high-frequency accuracy, verify that the test sensor does not mass load the reference standard.
