The VS150-WIC is a piezoelectric AE sensor with integrated preamplifier. Its frequency response is characterized by a peak at 150 kHz where it exhibits a resonance. The VS150-WIC is rated watertight up to 60 bar of water pressure. It is suitable for almost all AE application and especially suited for wet environments or for on-site monitoring of underwater installations. The integrated preamplifier has 34 dB gain and supports pulse through for automatic sensor testing.
