Vibrómetro

Two acquisition modes are available: Time-triggered, which sends data at fixed intervals (e.g. every 1, 2, or 5 minutes), and Threshold-triggered, which records data only when a defined velocity threshold is exceeded. In both cases, each acquisition includes the PPV, peak frequency, and amplitude per axis, plus temperature. Up to 2000 events can be stored locally for download via serial connection.

Proper installation requires aligning the device’s axes with the structural axes of interest. The Z-axis (antenna side) must always point upward and be as parallel as possible to the gravitational axis. The mounting plate allows flexible orientation, and screws and anchors are included for fixing to walls, ceilings, or floors. Consistent orientation across devices is crucial for valid comparisons across multiple sensors.

Data is transmitted via LoRaWAN using the 868 MHz or 915 MHz ISM band, with a nominal range of 1 km line-of-sight to the nearest gateway. Transmission includes timestamped event parameters and is optimized for low energy consumption. For maximum range and signal quality, correct antenna alignment and installation away from electromagnetic interference are essential.

Battery life varies depending on acquisition cadence and signal quality but typically ranges from 1 to 1.5 years. The Vibrometer uses a 3.6V LiSOCl₂ D-cell (EVE ER34615EHR2). Battery replacement requires opening the sealed enclosure, which voids the warranty unless authorized. For devices still under warranty, Move Solutions recommends contacting support before intervention.
