QED, Inc. Accelerometers

QED responds to today’s pilot THE NEW ELECTRONIC / ANALOG ACCELEROMETER (E/AA), is designed to adjust accurately to any level of acceleration input. Traditional styling and function... ... 21st century TECHNOLOGY • Dial, pointers and reset are identical to the first generation accelerometer • New drive system moves the dynamic pointer smoothly and steadily through the entire range and works the tell-tale pointers with an authority not found on prior QED accelerometers or other competitive products • With no detectable hysteresis, the E/AA is more repeatable than similar cockpit accelerometers on the market today DESIGNED FOR LONGEVITY AND PERFORMANCE • The new E/AA digital instrument is easier, less time-consuming and less expensive to manufacture. • And with shorter lead times and lower calibration costs, QED/Inc. passes the savings on to its customers • Solid-state sensing and an electrical drive system dramatically improve reliability and maintainability, translating into lower life-cycle costs and improved user confidence in the values displayed • 3-year warranty on all materials and workmanship OUT WITH THE OLD – IN WITH THE NEW • Designed to completely replace the existing instrument • Envelope design and the materials in the exposed areas are identical to those in the original instrument • Mounting holes are unchanged for easy retrofitting • Two 28 VDC wires plus one ground wire for power differentiate the mechanical accelerometer from the new E/AA WE’VE PASSED EVERY TEST • Drive motors tested for more than 3.4 million cycles without one failure, ensuring longevity and reliability • 120 positive or negative excursions per flight hour translates into more than 28,000 flight hours without motor replacement • MTBF of 11,592 hours • Solid-state construction of the sensing section promises an even longer life than the original • RTCA DO160-testing performed to assure full compliance with modern flight instrument standards
