1)
Repeatability:
maximum offset occurring
with position change after return to initial
position (corresponds to achievable
precision,
including temperature hysteresis
after temperature compensation and
linearization).
2) Cross axis sensitivity: maximum error
occurring with (additional) inclination or
acceleration from another direction than
the measuring plane
3) Supply stabilized
4) Measuring range: Trigonometric function:
angle = arcsin

5) Typical values;
6)
Long term stability: calculated values
from HTB tests. Test results available at
request.
7) Cable is specified for -15°C for dynamic
and -30°C for static applications
8) In 0° (horizontal) position the proof-
mass (pendulum) is bending down
(earth's gravitational force)
If the sensor will be turned 90° to the
side then the output will be nominal

The sensors are based one an advanced “bulk micro machined” technology. The three dimensional structure of
these sensors comprise a pendulum made of mono crystalline silicon. The pendulum is hermetically enclosed
between two silicon discs. From this construction results a long term stable, high resolution und shock resistant
sensor. A gas damping prevents overshooting and interfering resonance oscillation. An ASIC measures the
capacitive change caused by the movement of the pendulum.
