MODEL EGCS-A2/B2
ACCELEROMETERSPECIFICATIONS

Critically Damped
DC Response
Temperature CompensatedHigh Sensitivity, Amplified

The Model EGCS-A2 & -B2 accelerometers are criticallydamped with built-in over-range stops that are set to protect
the unit against 10,000g shocks.
The accelerometers
incorporate signal conditioning with optional ±5Vdc or ±2.5Vdc
amplified full-scale output and are offered in ranges from ±5g
to ±5000g. The accelerometers are ideal for low frequency
measurements and feature temperature compensation
from+20 to +80 ºC.
