The Model 1202 accelerometer is a small, compact uniaxial device designed for vehicle impact and road testing. Its mechanical overload stops provide high shock protection in rugged applications. Featuring ranges from 50 g to 1000g and frequency response to 3000 Hz, this sensor is easily mounted in hard to get places on vehicles under test.
Since the mass actually moves, the self-test is both a mechanical test of the unit's functioning and an electrical test. This ensures significant time and costs savings for quality personnel in determining performance during in-coming inspections and for test engineers trouble-checking instrumentation channels before and after auto safety tests.
