Section 1 - Introduction
Y
Thank you for selecting Omega’s Model ACC-PS3A/P4A power supply. The
Model ACC-PS3A/4A has set the world standard for excellence and should
provide you with years of faithful service.
The Model ACC-PS3A/P4A provides the 2.2mA constant current at 24Vdc
required for powering most conventional low impedance single or triaxial
accelerometers. The unit allows for each axis is to be routed to instrumentation
through a common BNC connection. It also includes an LED power status
indicator. Please refer to the manual supplied with your accelerometer to verify
compatibility with the Model ACC-PS3A/P4A.
Overall Description and Operation
The Model ACC-PS3A/P4A is designed to power either a single or triaxial
accelerometer. It is normally supplied with this instruction manual and a
calibration sheet. Notice that the serial number and calibration data for each axis
is indicated on the calibration sheet.

Controls & Indicators
Section 2 - Controls & Indicators
a. Input BNC connector (single) or 4-pin, 1⁄4-28 male connector (triaxial) (INPUT,
X, Y, Z)
The low impedance single or triaxial accelerometer to be powered is
connected directly to the input connector. 24Vdc is present on this connector
with the power switch “ON” and no accelerometer connected. The voltage
level will drop to the accelerometer’s bias voltage when an accelerometer is
connected. Most low impedance accelerometers have a bias voltage between 7
Vdc and 13 Vdc. Refer to the specifications and calibration data supplied with
your accelerometer.
b. Output connector(s) (OUTPUT, X, Y, Z)
The dynamic acceleration signal is present on the connector for each axis.
The output may swing a maximum ±10 VAC. (±5VAC with a low bias
accelerometer). The output voltage is in direct proportion to acceleration level
in real time. A data acquisition system such as a PC A/D card, oscilloscope,
Digital Volt Meter (DVM), or spectrum analyzer may be connected directly
to the output BNC connectors. Omega recommends an input impedance
of 1 megohm or less if bias voltage (DC offset) feed-through from the
accelerometer(s) is not desired.
c. Power Switch
The two-position switch turns the unit on and off. To turn the unit on, push
the switch towards the green power LED and the “on” label. To turn the unit
off, push the switch away from the green power LED.
NOTE:
Note that some A/D cards already supply ICP accelerometer
power - verify your card’s functionality before using the ACCPS3A/4A.

Section 3 - Operation
Under normal conditions, it is acceptable to connect and disconnect signal
cables with the power ON. However, if the compatibility of the equipment is in
question or if there is high risk of electrostatic discharge, it is recommended that
all equipment be turned OFF while signal interconnections are made.
To operate the unit:
a. Connect a single or triaxial accelerometer to the BNC connector (or 4-pin,
1
⁄4- 28 male connector) labeled “input”
b. Turn power switch to the “ON” position (towards the green power LED)
c. Connect a data acquisition system to the BNC connector(s) labeled “output”
d. Collect data
