Dual ACH/ICP Input Accelerometer Preamp
The LP201 is a precision accelerometer preamp designed to provide three different types of data: Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement (Excursion). It provides dual ICP/ACH inputs which permit operation with a wide variety of standard precision and low cost accelerometers. Measurements of cabinet/panel vibrations and loudspeaker excursion can be easily obtained.

The LP201 features dual precision integrators with selectable time constants, selectable gain, and selectable highpass filtering. It provides signal output via a male XLR connector utilizing the same LVP interface format as is standard on all of our analyzer mic inputs. Power can also be provided by any general means capable of supplying 9VDC at 30mA through an appropriate adapter cable.
 
ACH Input
The ACH input is designed specifically to utilize the very low cost MSI ACH-01-03 accelerometer. A matching connector is provided which allows the ACH-01-03 to be directly inserted.

The LP201 provides all of the input biasing circuitry required for the ACH allowing maximum performance to be obtained. This accelerometer is very low cost (approx $30) and is useable for general purpose mounting on flat surfaces. The size of the accelerometer is about 1/2 Inch square, and it has 8 grams of mass.
Maximum acceleration is 150g. Very useful for measuring vibrations on panels and enclosure walls where there is ample suface area for attachement. Hot melt glue works very well for this or perhaps double sided tape.
 
ICP Input
The ICP input is an industry standard used with many accelerometers. A wide variety of accelerometers using this format are commonly available. A low cost SMA connector is provided for this input.

Note: Many ICP type acclerometers utilize a Microdot 10-32 type connector. These connectors are extremely expensive and relatively difficult to obtain. For this reason the LP201 uses a common SMA connector which is much lower cost and readily available everywhere. Adapters can be obtained from 10-23 to BNC, and BNC to SMA, or modified cables.
