2-Axis G Sensor (Accelerometer)
The PLX 2-Axis G Sensor is capable of measuring acceleration on 2 dimensional
axis. The G Sensor contains 2 analog output signals which correspond directly
proportionally to your acceleration in Gs. 1g is equal to 9.8m/s^2 or ~32
ft/s^2. This is the same acceleration an object experiences towards the Earth's
center at sea level.
Key Features:
Pre calibrated 2-axis compact precise accelerometer
Mountable virtually anywhere
Physical Dimensions: 1.88 x 0.75 x 0.25 inches (4.7 x 1.9 x 0.64 cm)
Full scale range +- 2gs (X-Axis, Y-Axis)
Compatible with PLX R-500/M-500 Wideband Controllers
Sensitivity 1000mV/g
Wide power supply input voltage range (8V-24V)
Low cost rugged design
The PLX 2-Axis G Sensor gives the R-500/M-500 the added capability of data
logging your vehicle's forward acceleration, braking deceleration and cornering
road holding grip. Any changes to your vehicle's engine power, brakes, tire
compound, alignment can be detected with the PLX G Sensor and data logged for
analysis. How do you use it?
1. Mount and secure the G Sensor to your vehicle in the following orientation.
With the supplied double stick tape.
2. Connect a 12V power source to the G Sensor. The G sensor and the wideband
controller must share the same ground (black wire).
3. Connect the analog 5V output signals, green wire for X-Axis, blue wire for
Y-Axis, to any of the 4 available analog inputs on the R-500/M-500.
4. Setup the Analog Inputs in the PLX Logger Software by selecting "PLX G
Sensor" from the pull down menu.
5. Place your vehicle on level ground and start up PLX Logger Software. Your
X-Axis, and Y-Axis G Sensor gauge should read 0.0g. If not, adjust and
reposition the sensor accordingly.
