SIGMA Standard
SIGMA Standard
Product Overview
With a flat frequency passband from DC to 400Hz the SIGMA is a force balance accelerometer with one of the widest frequency responses currently on the market. It comes with four remotely configurable saturation levels between +/- 4g and +/- 0.5g. The SIGMA accelerometers are very easy to install. A single point slotted base bolt ensures that the sensor will be fixed firmly to the installation point. Three levelling feet ensure that the sensor is levelled and locked to the installation bolt.
The unique design of the connector turret allows easy connection to the sensor. All the connectors are waterproof with O-ring seals to a water depth of up to 2 meters.
