THE NEW SENSOR: Model H11-LIN
Sensit has replaced the long standard model H11B & C with an enhanced version of the saltation sensor. The new model provides the standard data outputs of KE (kinetic energy) and PC (particle counts) compatible with the original Sensit(tm) model H11B sensor. The new H11-LIN model now includes a detailed energy per impact output (PHA data) providing the energy spectrum as a result of every individual particle impact. Note: A pulse height analyzer (PHA) is required. Sensit is working a a PHA module to acquire this large amount of data. Target date: 4th quarter 2008.

Model H11-LIN improvements:
| New data output: The model H11-LIN has an additional output providing the kinetic energy of every individual particle impact. This data is in the form of a variable pulse height signal. A pulse height analyzer (PHA) module to capture this data should be available by the 4th quarter 2007. |
| Programmable Gain: Sensitivity can be increased by 10X externally via data logger or by physically connecting a wire to +12V. |
| Superior seal: The crystal mounts now extend over the ends of the crystals providing a superior seal and protecting the edges. |
| Lower power: The new sensor draws 70ma versus the previous 90ma current requirement. |
| Asymmetrical response: Uniform radial response has now been achieved by nickel plating the crystal surface. |
| No multiple counts: Large
energy impacts do NOT produce erroneous multiple counts.
