Operating Specifications
Description
The 0737-0604-99 Sensor has been used successfully in
applications that demand ultra high accuracy, excellent null
repeatability, and a linear output. Long term stability over its
angle and temperature range is a distinctive characteristic of
this sensor. The hermetic glass to metal construction and
platinum (platinized) electrodes guarantee a long operating
life and stable operating characteristics.

Sensor Test Circuitry
Tests were conducted by exciting the left and right electrodes
with an AC signal of 400 Hz and an RMS voltage to produce the
maximum current at null as per operating specifications. Output
readings are taken between the center electrode and the center
of the balanced resistors R1 and R2. Tests were conducted at a
temperature of +25 C. See sensor test circuitry in figure 3.
Output curve is shown in figure 1.
