3 SAFETY AND HANDLING INFORMATION 

ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE G150Z MEMS GYRO!



The G150Z Gyro is a sensitive scientific instrument containing a shock and vibration sensitive inertial sensor. Excessive shock and or vibration can damage this sensor and can adversely affect sensor performance and unit output.



Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe proper grounding whenever handling the G150Z Gyro.



Properly attach connector and ensure that it has been installed correctly before applying power to the G150Z Gyro.

4 PATENT INFORMATION The G150Z Gyro is a newly developed unit containing significant intellectual property and it is expected to be protected by United States of America (USA) and other foreign patents.

5 APPLICABLE EXPORT CONTROLS The G150Z Gyro has been classified by the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). It is classified under ECCN 7A994 and as such may be exported without a license using symbol NLR (No License Required) to destinations other than those identified in Country Group E of Supplement 1 to Part 740 (commonly referred to as the T5 countries) of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Items otherwise eligible for export under NLR may require a license if the exporter knows or is informed that that the items will be used in prohibited chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or missile activities as defined in Part 744 of the EAR. Items otherwise eligible for export or re-export under a license exception or NLR and used in the design, development or production or use of Nuclear, Chemical or Biological weapons or Missiles require a license for export or re-export as provided in Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  

Destinations Requiring a License -------------------------------See the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 of the EAR) to determine which countries require a license. Use the country chart column information given on this form in conjunction with the country chart to determine the licensing requirements for your particular items.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Gladiator Technologies’ Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to AS9100 Rev. C and ISO9001:2008. UL-DQS is the company’s registrar and our certification number is 10012334ASH09. Please visit our website at www.gladiatortechnologies.com to view our current certificates.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION The G150Z Gyro is a silicon MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Sensor) analog output Coriolisbased rate gyro. The G150Z is our premium performance option of our products and features our best and lowest noise gyro. It is form, fit and function compatible with the standard units, but has lower noise and higher power. Utilizing Gladiator's proprietary design, precision manufacturing and automated test processes enable this sensor to have performance that far exceeds that of many other competing silicon MEMS sensors. The unit is temperature compensated for bias and offers g-sensitivity correction. The scale factor, bias, misalignment and temperature sensor thermal data are supplied with each unit. The unit contains:  A Coriolis rate sensor that is available in standard ranges of ±100°/sec, ±175°/sec or ±300°/second rate range. 

An internal temperature sensor output. The temperature sensor is co-located with the sensor to enable accurate temperature compensation of the gyro output by the end user.



All units go through an extensive temperature calibration process.



A precision base plate is used in the G150Z gyro enabling low misalignment errors and misalignment measurement is included with the shipment.



In addition, "g-sensitivity" errors associated with the gyros is also minimized to reduce performance errors associated with acceleration inputs.



Two mounting options including either a side mounted or top mounted MILSPEC connector and enhanced environmentally sealing. Supplied with mating connector.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 8.1 G150Z GYRO The all new MEMS G150Z Gyro represents Gladiator’s breakthrough gyro technology enabling an ultra-low noise MEMS gyro that has noise performance commensurate with much more expensive small RLG’s and small open loop FOG’s. It also features industry leading bias in5 run and bias over temperature. Designed for commercial stabilization and aircraft applications, the gyro has a bipolar “VSG “compatible signal outputting balanced 0V ± 5V. The signature features of the G150Z are 0.001°/sec/√Hz noise, bandwidth of 200Hz, short term bias of 1.2°/hr as well as impressive bias over temperature, low power, light weight, as well as excellent g-sensitivity and misalignment. The unit is highly durable and can withstand environmental vibration and shock typically associated with commercial aerospace requirements.
