Frequently Asked Questions
The Biometrics Ltd's Accelerometer sensor is designed to provide precise measurements of acceleration in three axes. It is used in a variety of applications, including research, physical assessments, and industrial vibration measurements.
The wireless Accelerometer sensor transmits data wirelessly to a DataLITE interface, allowing for more flexibility and movement during data collection.
The wireless Accelerometer sensor has a wireless range of up to 30 meters.
The wireless Accelerometer sensor has a battery life of up to 12 hours.
The Accelerometer sensor is compatible with DataLITE PIONEER, ADVANCE, EXPLORE interfaces, as well as DataLOG, DataLINK, Amplifier, or 3rd party interfaces.
There are three different models of the Accelerometer sensor: the wireless model (ACL500), the wired model (ACL300), and a model used for industrial vibrations (S3-1000G-HA).
The range of frequencies that the sensor can precisely measure depends on its bandwidth. Our sensors have a broad bandwidth range, which gives them the flexibility to record various kinds of muscle activity.
Dynamic acceleration refers to the acceleration caused by motion or vibration, while static acceleration refers to the acceleration caused by gravity. The Accelerometer sensor can measure both types of acceleration.
The shock survival of the Accelerometer sensor depends on the model. The wireless model (ACL500) can survive up to 10,000 g, the wired model (ACL300) can survive up to 500 g, and the industrial vibrations model (S3-1000G-HA) can survive up to 5,000 g.
We provide thorough customer service and a two-year warranty for our products.
