ASC DiSens
MD series

Digital Accelerometer
Triaxial

22,3 mmDue to the transmission of digital data, many interferences no longer play arole, which is particularly important for long cable lengths. The series begins
with the new MD model, a triaxial digital accelerometer. The sensor has 2g,
4g and 8g measurement ranges, which are set via the integrated software.
The acceleration values are transmitted as raw data via the EtherCAT protocol
to a host system.

70,5 mmTechnology
The ASC DiSens series is a novel ASC sensor solution with digital interfaces.
It combines highquality sensors with an integrated data acquisition system,so that separate data acquisition is no longer necessary.

m62,0 mThere they are processed by a separate analysis software. With an active
power supply, up to 12 devices can be connected via daisy chaining.
The included DEWESoft X3 software package provides many advantages forthe daily test and measurement work such as time savings and easy recording, analysis and reporting.
Applications
Structural Health Monitoring, Bridge Monitoring, Seismic Measurements,
Mobile Network Antenna, Structural Monitoring, Vibration Monitoring on
Construction Machines, Condition Monitoring on Machines and Equipment

MEMS Tilt Sensors (Inclinometers)

Technology
ASC’s Tilt Sensors measure the static acceleration where the earth’s
gravity is the acceleration being measured. The sensor is basedon a MEMS capacitive accelerometer sensing element. The change
in degrees of tilt corresponds to a change in acceleration due
to a changing component of gravity that acts on the accelerometer.

The tilt sensors have an excellent long-term bias stability (0.1°)
with a high resolution of (0.005°). The low temperature coefficientof bias is perfect on test results. The wide temperature range,-25°C to +100°C, with a high shock limit enables best work.
In addition the stainless steel housing with its IP68 rating is qualified

Digital Fluidic Tilt Sensor

The analog measurements are digitized, calculated and output as angles
via a digital interface (CAN/CANopen). Therefore the user doesn’t needa separate data acquisition system anymore.

28,
21,0 mmTechnology
The new sensor ASC TSF-360 uses the physical effect that the surfaceof liquids is always aligned exactly horizontally due to gravity. By meansof a suitable electrode arrangement, the angle between the sensors andthe horizontal is capacitively measured with a dielectric liquid.

0mm

Uniaxial

89,0mm

In contrast to the MEMS-based tilt sensors, the ASC TSF-360 has a very
low transverse tilt sensitivity due to the liquid-based measuring principle.

20,0

mm

Compared to conventional tilt sensors, this sensor can be used as a 360°
version. The sensor with internal temperature compensation operates witha high accuracy of < ±0.1° over the entire measuring range. The sensor canbe used anywhere on earth because the measured value is independentof the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at the measuring point.
The sensor‘s aluminium housing complies with protection class IP67 andis therefore also suitable for use in harsh environments.

of rotation. The gyro thus produces an analog voltage signal, which
is linearly proportional to the angular rate. The balanced ring design
results in excellent shock and vibration insensitivity.

MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
6-DOF Inertial Sensor – Tactical Grade59,0Technology
An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a 6-DOF system that measureslinear and angular motion using a combination of accelerometers andgyroscopes. MEMS based IMUs include a range of precision inertial
sensors, including a triaxial acceleration sensor and a triaxial gyroscope.
The IMU thus outputs acceleration and rotation rate signals in the formof an analog raw signal. Due to the excellent long-term stability and the
low noise (bias, scale factor, noise, angular random walk) of the sensors
used, it is possible to reliably obtain position changes in all 6 DOFs withhigh accuracy and repeatability by integrating the analog sensor signals
twice. This results in new fields of application in the area of autonomoustransport and unmanned flying.
ASC IMU 8.X.Y features the performance of the tactical grade measurements. The capacitive MEMS accelerometer is obtainable with acceleration
ranges from ±2g to ±30g. The excellent long term bias and scale factor
repeatability with low in-run bias and low noise allows accurate working
with the angular rate sensor. The MEMS vibrating ring gyros are obtainable with rate ranges of ±100°/s and ±200°/s. The gyro features also a
low bias instability, excellent angular random walk with low noise. ASC

Calibration
Service

Calibration Service
ASC Calibration Service
Regardless of the degree of quality, sensors have to be recalibrated.
We at ASC offer our customers the service of recalibrating accelerometers to ensure they are ready for their dedicated measurement tasks. Incidentally, we also offer this service for accelerometers from other manufacturers.
We make the process even smoother, by issuing reminders to you,to send your sensors for calibration promptly before the calibrationinterval expires.
The Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) has awarded
to our calibration laboratory the DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certification for calibrations and has confirmed our competence to perform calibrations in the field of mechanical acceleration measurements. Certificate registration number: D-K-18110-01-00.
ISO 17025-compliant calibration is offered in our laboratory by:• A calibration certificate based on standards
from organisations such as PTB, NIST, DPLA, NPL• Back-to-back calibration according to ISO 16063
with recognised measurement standards• Internationally recognised calibration results• An accredited calibration certificate with frequency
response and indication of measurement uncertainty
The service scope is based on the valid list of the calibration services offered in the back-to-back process according to DIN ISO
16063-21: 2004-01 for vibration and vibration speed sensors, andincludes a calibration certificate according to ISO 17025 whichdocuments the compliance with national standards.
The following calibrations are offered to ensure measurement
accuracy by our company directly in-house.
• Low Frequency calibration from 0.4 Hz to 160 Hz• Middle Frequency calibration from 5 Hz to 10 kHz• Pendulum calibration from 300m/s2 to 2000 m/s2

Digital Calibration Certificate / DCC
ASC is at the cutting edge of the future of calibration certificates.
Together with the PTB and other companies we are working on the
Digital Calibration Certificate. The most important advantage is,that the DCC will completely replace the former calibration certificate. Through the use of qualified electronic signatures the certainty
of document’s origin and integrity will be ensured and internationally mutual recognized across borders.
It has many advantages over the calibration certificate on paper(just to mention some of them):• Free of media discontinuity– In the calibration laboratory– On transmission– In the factory• Unambiguousness• Clear and error-free data
• Globally unique and clear• Important industry 4.0 – component• Higher process efficiency
We also team up with our partners to offer calibration of angularrate sensors or any other sensors. Contact us. We will organise all
your requested calibrations. We call it service!
For any questions about our calibration service or the request for anoffer, please contact our calibration laboratory directly:
