Sensor dimensions |
53 x 33 x 11 mm (2.1 x 1.3 x 0.43 inch), dimensions don't include two flanges with 4.0 mm (0.16 inch) mounting holes spaced 62 mm (2.4 inch) apart |
Weight |
25 g (0.80 oz), incl. cable |
Cable |
0.90 m (35 inch), shielded, red wire = power, uninsulated braid = ground, white wire = sensor output 1, black wire = sensor output 2, yellow wire = sensor output 3 |
Connector |
male plug with 5 pins in 3 rows spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) |
Applications notes |
- With the pins of the connector facing yourself and the red side facing up, the rightmost pin is output 1, the center pin is output 2 and the leftmost pin is output 3.
- Viewing the sensor from the top when it is placed on a table with the flanges
down, output 1 corresponds with acceleration along the diagonal line
connecting left bottom to right top, while output 2 corresponds with
acceleration along the diagonal line connecting left top to right
bottom and output 3 corresponds with acceleration along the height
of the sensor.
- Warning ! Make sure the sensor is plugged into the Digitizer with the red side up (corresponding to power on the Digitizer). Reversing the plug may cause damage to the sensor.
