ASC CS-1711LN Industrial MEMS sensor with 4–20 mA output for vibration and structural monitoring

Robust capacitive MEMS sensor with low noise and DC response, designed for long-distance signal transmission and precise structural health applications.


Key features

  • 4–20 mA current output for noise-resistant, long-distance transmission
  • ±2 to ±50 g measurement range with DC response
  • High EMC immunity and low noise <0.65 µA
  • Frequency range: DC to 2,000 Hz
  • Lightweight IP67-rated aluminum housing

Performance Highlights

The ASC CS-1711LN is a uniaxial capacitive accelerometer sensor based on proven MEMS technology. Its 4–20 mA current output enables loss-free signal transmission over cable lengths exceeding 100 meters — ideal for industrial environments. With a DC response and ultra-low noise, it accurately captures both static and dynamic accelerations for structural monitoring and vibration analysis.

Usage Conditions

Built with a lightweight anodized aluminum housing, the sensor is IP67 rated for use in challenging conditions. It supports power supply voltages from 8 to 30 VDC and is resistant to mechanical shock up to 5000 g.

Typical Applications

  • Structural health monitoring (bridges, buildings, towers)
  • Vibration analysis in offshore platforms and energy plants
  • Infrastructure monitoring in railway systems
  • Static tilt or displacement measurements

Advantages

The ASC CS-1711LN ensures highly reliable signal quality over long distances, without degradation due to electromagnetic interference. Its 4–20 mA output makes it compatible with most industrial PLCs and data loggers. The sensor’s compact form factor, low power consumption, and flexible mounting options make it ideal for long-term monitoring installations in tough field environments.
