Low frequency monitoring

Measurement Specialties' Model 4000 accelerometer is a signal conditioned accelerometer with integral temperature compensation. Specifically designed for low frequency monitoring in transportation, test, instrumentation and vibration sensing applications, the lightweight device features a VDC output with a ±2.5 V reference that offers end users a single-ended output or the capability to use in a differential configuration.

Operating from a 10 to 24 VDC power supply, the Model 4000 draws a minimal 5 mA of current while operating over a -20° to +85°C temperature range. The screw-mounted, high-performance housing endures abuse encountered in rail, off-road, agricultural, recreational and racing environments. Epoxy sealing provides ample protection against humidity while the basic design of the second-generation MEMS sensing technology offers up to 5000 g shock protection.

The Model 4000 has a linearity of ±1% FSO and frequency response from 0-250 to 0-1500 Hz. With sensitivities of 1000 to 10 mV/g, the unit will provide reliable data easily integrated into data acquisition or monitoring systems. Colour-coded, electrical schema are provided with each unit to simplify installation.
