Supplied Accelerometer

Type: 4520-002
Sensitivity: 10 mV/g
Frequency: 2 Hz to 7 kHz

Seat Pad Accelerometer

- if included
Type: 4515-B-002 seat pad with type 4524-B triaxial accelerometer
Sensitivity: 100 mV/g
Frequency: 0.25 Hz to 900 Hz

Dynamic Range

The useful range of Type 4447 is from 3 mV to approx. 3.4 V (more than 60 dB)

Noise

Noise Level: < 3 mV
During high levels of RF airborne emission, noise level may increase

Detector

Simultaneous measurement of peak and rms vibration value for each channel

Frequency Weighting

Filters for frequency weightings are calculated in the time domain to conform to ISO 8041-2005, including filters Wh, Wd and Wg. Other frequency curves can be added on request

Display

Sony Colour graphical display with a resolution of 124 x 124 pixels. Basic information regarding the instrument status is shown through icons, including: battery indicator; measurement status; run; pause; stop; input type; "U" as direct or voltage input or "OK" as DeltaTron input: Overload (OVL) or Short (SHT) circuit and real time or elapsed time.

Measuring Parameters

Measured parameters are selected according to the selected setup mode. The following parameters are measured and calculated during measurement: Time Averaged Weighted Acceleration Value (TAWAV); Maximum Transient Vibration (MTVV); Vibration Dose Value (VDV); Motion Sickness Vibration Dose (MSDV); running rms acceleration value

Shock Limits

Max. Shock: 5000 g
Higher shock values can be obtained by the use of dedicated shock accelerometers

Memory

64 KB or 750 measurements can be stored in non-volatile memory

USB Interface

Conforms to USB 2.0
Connector: Mini B

Clock

Real-time clock with calendar
