	The ARS-06 is a popular addition to our lineup of angular rate sensors. The ARS-06 is designed to give performance similar to the ARS-01 in a smaller and less expensive package. The ARS-06 is available in two standard models: the ARS-06 and the ARS-06S. The ARS-06S uses a single-sided power supply commonly used in automotive crash testing. The frequency response of the ARS-06 products comply with SAE J-211 Class 1000 frequency response specifications. Multi axis packages are available. The ARS-06 and ARS-06S require use of the CA-06 cable assembly. Export Application/License Information		ARS-06 & 06S MHD Angular Rate Sensor View .pdf format.
	ATA Sensors' patented MHD angular motion sensors utilize the finest materials and workmanship combined in durable packages that feature:
	• No moving parts • Dynamic range > 100 dB • Low power consumption • Low cross axis angular sensitivity • Low linear acceleration sensitivity • Integral electronics/low noise • Three mounting options • High survivable shock limits • Superior applications support • One-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on sensors, 90 days on cables.

Notes:

1. Based on a ± 10V output voltage swing.
2. Based on a ± 1.3V output voltage swing.
3. Measured @ 10 Hz.
4. The standard frequency response of MHD sensors
    can be extended significantly by the use of digital
    filtering in post processing of signal data as covered
    in ATA Sensors' application note AN-01.

5. Power spectral density flat to angular velocity over
specified bandwidth.
6. Percent change in Scale Factor per ºC @ 100 Hz.
7. Peak, 100 Hz half sine.
