Description
As the inertial navigation standard by which others are measured, Joint Sensor produces the KA2000. It is the predominant sensor used in today’s commercial and military aircraft strap-down inertial navigation systems. The long-term
repeatability and superior reliability characteristics of the KA2000 make it the best value inertial-grade accelerometer available on the market today.
As with the entire family of accelerometers, the KA2000 has an amorphous quartz proof-mass structure which provides excellent bias, scale factor, and axis alignment repeatability.
The integral electronics develops an acceleration-proportional output current providing both static and dynamic acceleration measurement. By use of customer supplied output load resistor, appropriately scaled for the acceleration range of the application, the output current can be converted into a voltage.
The KA2000 also includes a current-output, internal temperature sensor. By applying temperature-compensating algorithms, bias, scale factor, and axis misalignment performance are dramatically improved.
