Powered by simple, inexpensive, constant-current signal conditioners, these sensors are easy to operate and interface with signal analysis, data acquisition and recording instruments. The following features further characterize ICP® sensors:

• Fixed voltage sensitivity, regardless of cable type or length.
• Low-impedance output signal, which can be transmitted over long cables in harsh environments with virtually no loss in signal quality.
• Two-wire operation with low cost coaxial cable, twoconductor ribbon wire or twisted-pair cabling.
• Low-noise, voltage-output signal compatible with standard readout, signal analysis, recording, and data acquisition equipment.
• Low cost per-channel - ICP® accelerometers require only an inexpensive, constant-current signal conditioner to operate.
• Intrinsic self-test feature - monitoring the sensor's output bias voltage provides an indication of proper operation, faulty condition, and bad cables.
