Corrosive chemicals and solvents can contaminate signal conductors causing intermittent signals and eventually destroy the sensor housing, connector, and cabling. In industrial environments, the sens [...]
Near machine mechanical noise from cavitating pumps and steam/gas leaks can produce very high frequency, high amplitude signals (i.e., hiss). This mechanical noise can overload the sensor and produce [...]
Electrostatic discharge can produce false signals and damage the sensors electronics if not properly protected. Case isolation, internal shielding, and two conductor shielded cable will attenuate ele [...]
Electromagnetic interference can produce false signals at the sensors output. Very high frequency electromagnetic interference can cause intermodulation distortion and produce low frequency measureme [...]
Humidity and immersion can cause intermittent shorting of the signal carriers on epoxy sealed sensors and poorly designed or specified connector/cable assemblies. The intermittent shorting will produ [...]
Fast transient temperature changes may cause spurious signals on the sensor output due to thermal expansion of the metal parts. When using poorly designed or specified sensors these spurious outputs [...]
The accelerometer sensitivity will shift over the rated temperature range of the sensor (usually by less than 10%). The shifts are trendable and do not cause any permanent changes in the sensor. When [...]
The primary environmental effects to be considered are: ambient temperature temperature transients humidity and/or possible liquid immersion electromagnetic interference electrostatic discharge near [...]
