4000A Dimensions

The Model 4000A & 4001A are economical signal
conditioned accelerometers with integral temperaturecompensation. The accelerometers incorporate a 3rdgeneration silicon MEMS sensor providing outstanding
performance. The accelerometers are packaged in arugged aluminum housing ideal for transportation andinstrumentation testing. The signal conditioned output
incorporates a 2.5V reference that offers the user adifferential or single-ended output.
