The BluVib Wired-to-Wireless (WtW) brings the environmental robustness of a wired sensor to the BluVib family. An ultra-low-power acquisition module connects to wired low-power accelerometers, measuring up to three channels of vibration plus a speed input, and transmits over Bluetooth 5 — combining wired performance at the asset with the easy installation and long battery life of a wireless solution.
Issue O · May 2026. Specification subject to change without notice.

Overview

Up to 3 vibration channels

Connects to wired standard or high-temperature piezo accelerometers, ±20 g range.

High-temperature option

High-temperature accelerometer option rated up to +200 °C at the asset.

Tachometer input

A single speed channel (optocoupled TTL / analogue to ±25 V) that can also act as power/wake-up control.

Battery or external power

Field-replaceable battery version (up to 5 years) or an externally powered 5–24 V DC version.
The module mounts via bolt/screw locations on either side of the case, an underside DIN-mount assembly, or a DIN-rail fixing. Accelerometers connect by wire and mount onto or near the machine via a ¼-28 UNF thread. Typical applications are condition monitoring of rotating machinery — motors, fans, pumps and gearboxes.
