The Endevco® Model 727 is a family of rugged undamped piezoresistive accelerometers, offered in
a variety of ranges. I t i s d e s i g n e d f o r s h o c k m e a s u r e m e n t s i n m o b i l e
c o n s u m e r e l e c t r o n i c d e v i c e s . Table 1 shows a summary of t h e c u r r e n t
Endevco offering of drop-test accelerometers. This instruction manual will supply technical detail
for the single- axis accelerometers in wax mount configuration.

Drop-Test Accelerometers.
In addition to being undamped, the 727 series has no mechanical stops, maximizing both bandwidth and
amplitude linearity. Its undamped characteristic allows it to be used in applications where the peak
acceleration is known and there is not a significant amount of out-of-band energy that could cause
enough resonance excitation to exceed the overrange limit of the accelerometer.
Due to the severe environment in which these accelerometers are tested, the user should carefully
read this instruction manual in its entirety.
A Calibration Certificate is included in the shipment of your Endevco
®
drop-test accelerometer.
Additionally, a product specification data sheet, if not already included in your shipment, can be
requested by contacting Endevco’s Application Engineering at +1 (866) ENDEVCO [+1 (866) 363-
3826] in North America, or your local sales representative.
