Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies 797E Intrinsically Safe accelerometer 797E

The 797E Intrinsically Safe accelerometer from Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies features a sensitivity of 100 mV/g with a tolerance of ¬±5% at 25¬8C. It operates within an acceleration range of up to 80 g peak and has a frequency response of 3 to 5,000 Hz (¬±5%), extending to 1 to 12,000 Hz (¬±3 dB). The device is designed for use in hazardous areas, certified for Class I, II, III, T4, Div 1 and Div 2 environments. This accelerometer has a wide temperature range of -50¬8C to +120¬8C and is capable of withstanding vibration limits of 500 g peak and shock limits of 5,000 g peak. The sensing element is a PZT shear type, and the unit is hermetically sealed, constructed from 316L stainless steel, weighing 138 grams. It requires a voltage source of 18 to 30 VDC and operates at a current of 2 to 10 mA. The output connector is a 2-pin MIL-C-5015 style, and it includes calibration data as part of the supplied accessories. Engineers considering the 797E should note its suitability for applications requiring intrinsic safety in potentially explosive environments, along with its robust performance specifications.
