MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Accelerometers are used to measure vibration and motion of various pieces of equipment and their components.
To obtain the most faithful reproduction of the movements, a solid mounting method is required. The model 830M1
is designed to surface mount on a PC board with the primary attachment being the connection solder pads.
Although it is recommended that several of the contacts (pins 4-6 & 10-12) not be connected to any part of the
electrical circuit, mating solder pads can be added to the PC board but then left unconnected. Soldering all contacts
of the accelerometer will provide the most solid mounting and best measurement results.
Rigid support for the accelerometer PC board will also help to improve the quality of measurement signals.
Ultimately, the accelerometer must move at the same frequencies and displacements as the object of interest. PC
board mounting that’s not rigid enough will introduce unwanted noise and resonant frequencies into the
measurement signal.
Figure 1 shows an example of a poorly
mounted accelerometer. With no support
close to the sensor, the PC board will flex
and vibrate at its own resonant frequency
much like a trampoline. This will introduce
unwanted resonant peaks into the
frequency range of interest making accurate
data collection difficult.
Figure 2 shows a better mounting design
that provides support very close to the
sensor and helps to eliminate unwanted
vibrations and noise. If the PC board is
mounted on standoffs, locate at least two
standoffs as close to the accelerometer as
possible. This will help stabilize the
accelerometer mounting surface and help to
ensure that faithful vibration and motion get
transferred to the sensor.
Figure 3 shows the addition of a rigid
mounting block directly between the
accelerometer PC board and the vibrating
object. This design provides good coupling.
Use a rigid adhesive on both mating
surfaces of the block for good mechanical
coupling.
Figure 4 shows the PC board attached
directly to the vibration source. Use a rigid
adhesive to improve the transmission of
high frequency vibrations and acoustic
energy. Soft or elastic adhesives (pressure
sensitive tapes, RTVs, pliable glues, etc.)
tend to dampen and absorb higher
frequency excitations. Don’t use them.

ORIENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Accelerometers are designed to do unidirectional motion sensing. A single axis accelerometer will be sensitive to
motion and acceleration in a single direction only. The 830M1 is able to sense and measure motion and
acceleration in all three orthogonal axes (X, Y, Z) and provides analog voltage outputs that represent the signal
magnitude in each axis. The accelerometer must be properly oriented during assembly into the application to
ensure that it will accurately sense the magnitude of vibration and motion in the proper axes.
As shown in the detailed dimension drawing, each sensing axis is aligned to be parallel with the external surfaces
of the accelerometer package. When the sensor is designed into an application, it’s position must be oriented to
align with the desired measurement directions of the customer product.
There are many places in an application where alignment errors can appear. The 830M1 is mounted on a PC
board and must be carefully aligned to it. The PC board is part of a subsystem and must be carefully aligned
there also. And finally, the subsystem is part of the overall product and must be aligned to that. Each of these
mounting interfaces can be a source of mis-alignment errors and when summed can become significant.
For the 830M1 accelerometer, there are two types of alignment errors – rotational and tilt. Figures 5 & 6 show
how these occur.
Figure 5
Figure 6
Both types of misalignment errors result in incorrect output voltages for vibration amplitude. The output error will
be proportional to the cosine or 1-cosine of the error angle θ.
In figure 5, if the acceleration or vibration is along the X axis, a rotational misalignment error will decrease the X
axis signal by the cosine of the error angle and increase the Y axis signal by 1-cosine of the error angle. The Z
axis signal will not change.
In figure 6, if acceleration is again along the X axis, and the X axis is tilted, then the error will again decrease the
X axis signal by the cosine of the error angle and increase the Z axis signal by 1-cosine of the error angle. The Y
axis signal will not change.

ACCELEROMETER OPERATION AT REDUCED VOLTAGES
The 830M1 accelerometer is designed to provide the specified operation with the applied power voltage in the
range of 3.3 to 5.5 VDC. The sensor can also provide limited operation with applied voltages down to 1.5V. The
only parameter affected by a reduced input voltage is the maximum output amplitude for each g range.
The internal amplifier is designed to have a constant gain for each g range and will produce a maximum output
signal of ±1.25 V for that range. At input voltages less than 2.8 V, the output voltage span will be the same as the
power voltage. The sensor will retain the stated sensitivity level, but the output will be clipped at the power supply
voltages shown by this formula:
gmax = Measurement g range with applied voltage between 1.5 – 2.5V
gspec = specified g range when applied voltage >2.5V
Vapp = applied power voltage (1.5 – 2.5V)

TEMPERATURE SENSOR SELF HEATING EFFECT
For accurate temperature measurement it is recommended to use a small current to avoid self-heating of the
temperature sensing element. The temperature error caused by excessive measurement current can be
calculated using:
ΔT = Sensor output deviation from true temperature
I = Resistor current
R = RTD resistance
EK = Self-heating coefficient
TEMPERATURE SENSOR ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The characteristics of the nickel RTD temperature sensor are specified as per DIN 43760. The large
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) of the RTD (6178 ppm/K) offers greater sensitivity than other types
of RTDs. The electrical characteristics can be described by these equations:
R = RTD resistance value
T = Applied temperature
Coefficients:
a = 5.485 x 10-3
b = 6.650 x 10-6
c = 2.805 x 10 -11
d = -2.000 x 10-17
T = True temperature
R = Measured resistance
Coefficients:
a’ = 412.6
b’ = 140.41
c’ = 0.00764
d’ = 6.25 x 10-17
e’ = -1.25 x 10-24
TEMPERATURE SENSOR TOLERANCES
Tolerances for the nickel RTD are industry standard class B which is ±0.12% for resistance at 0°C. This is
equivalent to a temperature accuracy of ±0.3°C. To calculate tolerance at other temperatures, use these
formulae:
From -40°C to 0°C –
