5 Using CMG-5U sensors

5.1 The CMG-5U accelerometer

The CMG-5U sensor is a single-axis strong-motion force-feedback
accelerometer in a sealed case, which can be used in either vertical or

horizontal orientations. The sensor system is self-contained except for its

10 – 12V power supply, which can be provided through the same cable

as the analogue data. An internal DC–DC converter ensures that the

sensor is completely isolated.

The 5U system combines low-noise components with high feedback

loop gain to provide a linear, precision transducer with a very large
