The 1.2 °/h models suit machines with GNSS or odometry aiding; the 0.8 °/h models, such as the M-G552PR7, hold heading longer on their own. The M-G570PR2 is the top model in the same housing.Is the housing really waterproof?Yes, the metal housing is rated IP67 when the mating connector is also IP67. That makes it suitable for outdoor machines, wash-down and marine use.Can I use it with a compact PDG IMU in the same project?Yes.

Relay boardAccelerometer · VibrationM-A352M-A342The relay board takes an Epson M-A352AD accelerometer or M-A342VD vibration sensor and connects it to the USB board M-G32EV041 or directly to your own microcontroller board.Together with the M-G32EV041 it keeps the USB cable away from the sensor, so cable movement has less effect on vibration measurements. A second 20-pin connector lets you tap the sensor signals for your own electronics.2sensor families20pinsensor connector3.3Vsupply−20 … +70°Coperating rangeApplicationsWhere the relay board fits bestStructural monitoringRecord vibration and tilt with the M-A352 before you design your node.Machine conditionTest the M-A342 velocity and RMS output on a real machine.Tilt measurementEvaluate inclination resolution and stability on site.Own microcontrollerDrive the sensor from your MCU board via the breakout connector.PerformanceKey dataParameterTypical valueTypeRelay board for Epson accelerometers and vibration sensorsCompatible sensors (Epson)M-A352AD accelerometer, M-A342VD vibration sensorConnectorsCN1 20-pin to sensor, CN2 9-pin to USB board, CN3 20-pin breakout (Hirose DF20)Supply3.3 V, from the M-G32EV041 or your own boardOperating temperature−20 … +70 °CPC connectionvia USB board M-G32EV041 (sold separately)Not includedSensor, USB board, harness M-G32EV051Typical values from the Epson data sheet.

The relay board is for the M-A352 and M-A342 sensors.How do I connect it to a PC?With the USB board M-G32EV041 and the harness M-G32EV051. The USB board is powered by the PC and works with the Epson Sensing System Software.What about the rugged M-A552 and M-A542?These sensors have RS-422 or CANopen in an IP67 housing and connect through standard converters. We help you choose the right setup.Which software do I need?Epson provides the Epson Sensing System Software free of charge after registration. It shows the sensor data as graphs and logs it to a file. For your own code, the open-source drivers for Linux, ROS/ROS 2, Python, MATLAB and Arduino are listed in our downloads.Is the sensor included?No. The evaluation boards connect a sensor you already have or order separately.
