Notes:
1. Low-end response of the transducer is a function of its associated electronics.
2. Short duration shock pulses, such as those generated by metal-to-metal
impacts, may excite transducer resonance and cause linearity errors.
Read TP290 for more details.
3. Flexible cable, such as the supplied 3060D, should be used to minimize
cable-strain errors.
4. Adhesives such as petro-wax, hot-melt glue, and cyanoacrylate epoxy
(super glue) may be used to mount the accelerometer temporarily to the
test structure. An adhesive mounting kit (P/N 31849) is available as an option
from Endevco. To remove an epoxy-mounted accelerometer, first soften the
epoxy with an appropriate solvent and then twist the unit off with the supplied
removal wrench. Damage to sensors caused by inappropriate removal
procedures are not covered by Endevco’s warranty.
5. Maintain high levels of precision and accuracy using Endevco’s factory
calibration services. Call Endevco’s inside sales force at 800-982-6732 for
recommended intervals, pricing and turn-around time for these services as
well as for quotations on our standard products.
