Accelerometer
Accelerometer 5.0 is a wireless, battery-powered sensor designed to monitor structural vibrations on three axes with high resolution and flexible acquisition logic. It supports four operating modes, synchronized programmed campaigns for modal analysis, low-latency fast trigger events, and waveform-based acquisitions for deeper diagnostics. With selectable full scale up to ±8.192 g, internal data logging, offline recording, and seamless integration with MyMove, it is built for long-term dynamic monitoring in real site conditions. It also lets users align sensor axes with the structure’s longitudinal, transversal, and vertical directions, with automatic or manual vertical-axis definition.
Hardware versions
Everything you need, built In
All Move Solutions sensors share the same foundation: precision, reliability, and seamless integration.
Long-range, low-power data transmission ideal for remote and large-scale sites.
Multi-year operation with adjustable sampling and transmission settings.
Configure settings, calibrate sensors, and manage alarm thresholds, all in one platform.
Built for reliable use in harsh environments.
Everything you need, built in
Accelerometer 5.0 expands what a wireless accelerometer can do in the field. It adapts to different acquisition strategies, different installation constraints, and different diagnostic needs without adding complexity to deployment.
Four acquisition modes for different monitoring strategies
Choose between Standard Trigger with waveform, Fast Trigger for low-latency event detection, Programmed mode for synchronized campaigns, or Programmed + Fast Trigger when both scheduled monitoring and event tracking are needed on the same node
Structure-aware axis configuration
Map X, Y, and Z sensor axes to the structure’s longitudinal, transversal, and vertical directions. The vertical axis can be identified automatically from gravity or set manually from the platform, making data interpretation more consistent across installations with different orientations.
Built for synchronized modal analysis
Programmed acquisitions can be synchronized across multiple sensors with accuracy up to ≤ 500 µs, enabling reliable time-aligned datasets for modal analysis, frequency-domain assessment, and advanced structural diagnostics in MyMove.
Designed for longer deployments and real site conditions
Store data locally in circular memory, enable offline recording when connectivity is unavailable, extend battery life with an external battery pack, and simplify installation with a two-piece mounting plate, optional L-shaped bracket, and protected short-antenna configuration.
What this sensor measures
Triaxial acceleration
Measures dynamic acceleration on three orthogonal axes, with selectable full scale from ±128 mg to ±8.192 g and sampling rates from 40 to 640 Hz.
Event statistics
Returns RMS, minimum, and maximum values for each acquisition, enabling fast interpretation of event severity and structural response.
Waveform and frequency-domain analysis
In Standard Trigger and Programmed modes, the sensor provides full waveform data that can be used for deeper event review, FFT processing, and dynamic interpretation in MyMove.
Temperature
Records temperature at acquisition time to add environmental context to structural measurements and diagnostics.
Available add-ons
Battery pack
Extends operating life significantly in long monitoring campaigns and acts as the primary power source when connected.
Short antenna + protective dome
Reduces protrusion and helps protect the antenna in installations exposed to mechanical impact or limited space.
Data download cable
Uses the dedicated connector for local data download, device activation, and firmware operations.
L-shaped fixing plate
Adds mounting flexibility when the standard double plate is not the best fit for the structure or installation surface.
