With the higher output sensitivity, won a low frequency sensor overload easily?
With their high sensitivity output and consequently lower amplitude range, low frequency/ high output sensors are vulnerable to overload especially in the presence of significant high frequency vibration. For this reason, Wilcoxon includes a low-pass filter within the electronics of these sensors. This filter controls the high-end frequency cut-off and attenuates the high frequency signals. By not processing the high frequency (and often high vibration level) data, there is less chance of sensor overload.
