Two Minute Tips
Accelerometer Maximum Cable Length Calculator
When cables between the power supply and the accelerometer are short, less than 100 feet or 30 meters, circuit capacitance usually has no significant effect on the vibration data signals. Long cables may introduce sufficient capacitance into the sensor circuit to allow vibration signal distortion and produce spurious signals.
