Episensor Model Es-U2

The EpiSensor ES-U2 is a uniaxial accelerometer designed for structural engineering applications to measure accelerations up to ±4g. It has a wide bandwidth of DC to 200Hz and low noise to detect low-level vibrations. The user can select the full-scale recording range between ±0.25g to ±4g and output type. The sensor requires no external electronics and provides an amplified, conditioned signal to data acquisition systems.

EpiSensor ES-U2

Uniaxial Force Balance Accelerometer

For use in a variety of applications The sensor has a number of full scale outputs to match the traditional

package designed primarily for structural engineering applications.
However, it can be used in a variety of applications for measuring EpiSensor force balance accelerometers are also available in triaxial surface and
accelerations up to ±4g and down to the ambient noise level. With borehole (the FBA ES-SB shallow and FBA ES-DH deep) packages.
full-scale recording ranges of ± 0.25 to ± 4g (user selectable) the ES-U2
provides on-scale recording of earthquake motions even at near-fault
locations and in a wide variety of structure types.

Because the ES-U2 is extremely low-noise, it can detect motions of the


ambient vibration field at most urban sites and civil structures from 1 Hz
to 200A Hz. This makes the ES-U2 a unique sensor at a great price. The
output of the ES-U2 is an amplified, conditioned signal—it requires no FEATURES
external electronics other than a data acquisition system.

The significantly improved bandwidth of DC to 200 Hz allows engineers


• Low noise
and scientists to study motions at higher frequencies while maintaining
the very important DC response that allows simple field calibration and
reduces processing confusion. • Extended bandwidth - DC to 200Hz

Output circuitry is also significantly enhanced. Four types of outputs can • User-selectable full-scale range
be field-selected by the user: ± 2.5V single-ended, ± 10V single-ended, ±
5V differential or ± 20V differential. • Calibration coil (standard)

• Single-end or differential output (user selectable)
