An ultra-low-power, battery-operated wireless piezo sensor that measures vibration and temperature. It can operate stand-alone or in a network of multiple sensor devices, with user-programmable operating modes — fix it to your machine, set it running, and it measures unattended for up to 5 years in wakeup mode.
Issue P · June 2026. Specification subject to change without notice.

Overview

Single-axis piezo

Measures vibration on one axis with a programmable amplitude range up to ±25 g.

Low-frequency reach

Frequency range 0.3 Hz to 10 kHz — strong low-end response for slow-speed assets.

Long battery life

Field-replaceable battery, up to 5 years depending on measurement intervals.

ATEX option

Hazardous-area variant — ATEX II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga; dust-certified option available.
Also measures temperature (−25 °C to +75 °C), captures up to 80 seconds at 25.6 kHz, mounts directly onto a machine, and is rugged and corrosion resistant.

Operating modes

User-selectable to suit the application and battery budget.
Activated with the magnet, the sensor stays powered and keeps advertising (at reduced power after one minute), allowing repeated connections without re-waking it. Best for setup, demonstration and portable/tablet use — not recommended long term, as battery life is significantly reduced.
The sensor wakes at regular intervals but stays awake to monitor the input. If the signal crosses a programmed threshold, it captures the required post-trigger data and begins advertising so a client can connect and copy it, then returns to monitoring.
Operates unconnected, collecting and storing acceleration, velocity, temperature and battery data at a pre-set interval until woken with a magnet, then downloads to a ReST API or on a call for a specific date/time.
