Made in the USA
Mount the sensor to the machine, power it on, and start streaming 3-axis vibration and temperature to your gateway. Four steps, and the whole thing takes minutes.
Attach the IP65 sensor directly to a motor, pump, or gearbox, magnetic mount for a quick survey, or the ¼”-28 UNF thread for a permanent stud. Closer to the bearing is better.
The hybrid D-cell and supercapacitor power source runs for years with no wiring to pull, or choose the external-power model where a permanent feed is available. Battery level reports with every transmission.
The sensor joins a self-healing wireless mesh network, relaying through other nodes to blanket coverage across the plant.
Watch live trends in your Atrium dashboard, and let threshold alerts open a work order the moment a signature climbs.
Both share the same 3-axis vibration core and Atrium platform. The difference is the form factor: this one puts the accelerometer on an external probe and adds an external antenna, so it reaches the spots — and the distances — a sealed puck can’t.
The Atrium Gateway isn’t just a data receiver. It’s a complete industrial IoT platform with dashboards, alerts, reporting, and built-in apps. Point your vibration and temperature sensors at it, open your browser, and go.
Drag-and-drop widgets let you build custom monitoring views for any audience, reliability engineers, maintenance planners, or plant managers. Track RMS velocity, peak acceleration, and temperature at a glance, with auto-refresh and fullscreen mode for control-room displays.
Turn a rising vibration signature or temperature into action. When RMS velocity or temperature crosses a threshold, Atrium can send email notifications, log the event, and actuate relay outputs to open a work order or stop the machine, all without writing a single line of code.

Atrium works as a fully self-contained system, but when you need to integrate, Node-RED is built in and ready. Push vibration and temperature data to cloud platforms, databases, SCADA systems, or custom APIs, all configured through a visual flow editor.
Industrial-grade condition monitoring, delivered wirelessly and reliably.
A 3-axis accelerometer sampling up to 25.6 kHz at ±16g captures time-domain, overall vibration, and on-board FFT frequency-domain data, with noise as low as 70 µg/√Hz, the detail to separate imbalance from bearing wear and tie it to how hard the machine runs.
Push firmware to deployed sensors over the wireless mesh from the gateway, no field visits and no pulling units off the machine, so the whole fleet gains new features and fixes without downtime.
Advanced on-board machine-learning algorithms flag abnormal vibration patterns automatically. Always-listening motion detect wakes the sensor on movement, and you can run scheduled sampling for steady trending or interrupt-driven capture for immediate, event-based alerts.
The long-range wireless mesh reaches up to two miles line-of-sight and reroutes around obstacles, so coverage grows as you add sensors, with 128-bit AES encryption on every packet.
A hybrid D-cell and supercapacitor power source delivers up to 5 years of life with battery level on every transmission, or choose the external-power model for a permanent wired feed.
Every reading is temperature-compensated, so your vibration data stays consistent and reliable through swings in ambient plant conditions.

Everything you need to know about the Industrial IoT Wireless Vibration Temperature Sensor Gen4.
It measures 3-axis vibration with time-domain, overall, and on-board FFT frequency-domain readings, plus temperature from an integrated sensor in the base. A 3-axis accelerometer samples at up to 25.6 kHz across a ±16g full-scale range, and the integrated temperature sensor reads from −40 °C to +105 °C with ±1 °C accuracy.
The accelerometer samples at up to 25.6 kHz (configurable from 100 Hz). A high sample rate captures the higher-frequency content where early bearing and gear faults first appear, so you can separate imbalance from bearing wear rather than just seeing an overall vibration number rise.
A failing bearing or an overloaded motor runs hot, so the integrated temperature sensor adds a channel vibration can’t see. Trend the two together and you can tell a real developing fault from noise before you schedule a repair.
Yes. The sensor includes built-in machine learning and is always listening with motion-detect wake, and it reports asset runtime, so you learn not just how a machine vibrates, but how long it actually runs between idle periods.
Yes. The sensor derives shaft speed (RPM) from the vibration signal, so you can track motor speed on variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and tie a vibration trend to how hard the machine is actually running, useful for performance optimization as well as fault detection.
Up to 2 miles line-of-sight on the 900 MHz band, or roughly 1000 ft in dense-urban conditions. Sensors also relay through one another, so coverage extends across larger or obstructed plants as you add nodes.
The hybrid D-cell-plus-supercapacitor power source delivers up to 5 years of battery life, depending on how often the sensor transmits, with battery level reported on every transmission. A second model adds an external power connector for installations where a permanent wired feed is available.
Transmission frequency is the biggest lever, the more often the sensor reports, the sooner the battery is used up, so match the reporting interval to how fast the machine’s condition actually changes. Two installation factors matter too: strong magnetic fields right on a large motor and weak mesh coverage (which forces the radio to retry) both drain the battery faster, so give the sensor a solid path back to the gateway. For high-rate or permanently powered spots, the external-power model runs off a wired feed and keeps the battery as backup.
It uses a self-healing wireless mesh on your choice of 868 MHz, 900 MHz, or 2.4 GHz, with 128-bit AES encryption on the wireless link. The mesh forms and repairs itself, relaying data around obstacles to your gateway.
Two ways: a magnetic mount for fast, tool-free placement during a survey, or a ¼”-28 UNF threaded stud for a permanent, repeatable installation. For the best data, mount it in the bearing “load zone” on a clean, solid metal surface (not a thin fin or plastic cover), as close to the bearing as practical. Because the sensor is tri-axial, keep its orientation consistent from install to install so trends stay comparable.
Yes. The sensor is sealed in an IP65-rated enclosure measuring 85 mm tall by 48 mm at the base and weighing 225 g. Its electronics carry a −40 °C to +85 °C component rating; NCD tests the assembled unit across 0 °C to 40 °C.
No. The sensor is a one-time purchase with no subscription or recurring cloud fee. Paired with an Atrium Gateway, you get dashboards, alerts, and reporting with no per-machine software charge, you own the hardware and the data it produces.
Wherever you choose. Data stays on your network with no required NCD cloud account. Through Atrium’s built-in Node-RED you can forward readings to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, any MQTT broker, a local SCADA system via Modbus, or your own REST API.
The sensor reports in metric, velocity in mm/s, displacement in mm, and acceleration in g. If you prefer imperial units, convert them downstream: Atrium’s built-in Node-RED can turn mm/s into inch/s (1 mm/s = 1/25.4 inch/s) with a short function node before the value is displayed or logged, so your dashboards read in whatever units your team uses.
Yes. The sensor is designed and manufactured in-house by National Control Devices in the USA, built under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, and is RoHS compliant. Many NCD products carry a 5-year warranty, and you’ll always reach a US-based engineer for support, contact NCD to confirm coverage for your configuration.
Own the hardware and monitor vibration and temperature for the life of the asset, catching the fault while it’s still a work order, not a breakdown.
