FA101 Accelerometer * * * * * Full Scale range 2 g to 500 g DC Response Integrated Over-range Stops Solid State Reliability High Level Output Model with Integrated Amplifier DESCRIPTION The FA101 is a general purpose accelerometer which is especially useful for measuring low-level ranges. Packaged in a rugged metal case, the FA101 accelerometers are designed for easy handling to suit a wide range of environmental conditions. They are also available with built-in A1/A2 module, providing internal signal conditioning. With many years of experience as a designer and manufacturer of sensors, Measurement Specialties Inc. has the expertise to customize and/or design sensors for specific uses and testing environments. To meet your needs we also offer complete turnkey systems. Our conditioning electronics can power the sensor, amplify the electronic signal, and display the data digitally. A turnkey measurement system arrives with matched components, formatted, calibrated and ready for your immediate use.
