Acceleration Pickup Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-1384
Will the acceleration pickup be affected when used in a variable magnetic field?
When using an acceleration pickup in an alternating magnetic field, it may malfunction due to the magnetic field. For example, when the magnetic field alternates like NSNS, there may be effects such as apparent vibrations occurring during that cycle. The degree of impact varies by model.
(for example)
Approximately 0.001m/s 2 rms / Gauss for NP-3210
1 Gs (Gauss) = 10-4 T (Tesla) = 0.0001 T
