IoT Long Range Wireless Vibration And Temperature Sensor

IoT Long Range Wireless Vibration And Temperature Sensor

Introducing NCD’s Long Range IoT Industrial wireless vibration and temperature sensor, boasting up to a 2 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture. Incorporating a precision 16-bit vibration and temperature sensor, this device transmits highly accurate vibration and temperature data at user-defined intervals.

During Power-Up, this vibration sensor learns “normal” base-line vibration from the monitored device.  This base-line vibration is subtracted from regular sampled vibration readings to improve relevant vibration data.  Ideally, the monitored device should be off while the sensor is learning.  Once the sensor stabilizes and starts sending data, the device/machinery being monitored can be powered on.  This Industrial IoT wireless vibration sensor samples 3-axis of Vibration data for 100ms and then calculates RMS, Maximum, and Minimum vibration readings. This sensor combines these data with temperature data in a data packet, and transmits the result to modems and gateways within wireless range.  Once transmission is complete, the vibration sensor goes back to sleep, thus minimizing power consumption.

Powered by just 2 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval.  Optionally, this sensor may be externally powered, making it an ideal choice for wireless vibration monitoring system for industrial equipment.  With an open communication protocol, this sensor transmits hardware encrypted data that can be integrated with just about any control system or gateway.  Data can be transmitted to a PC, a Raspberry Pi, to Losant IoT cloud, Microsoft® Azure® IoT, and an embedded system all at the same time. Sensor parameters and wireless transmission settings can be changed using our free LabVIEW® monitoring software on a desktop PC.

The long range, price, accuracy, battery life and security features of Wireless Vibration Sensor makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.

General Vibration Guidelines

Here are some recommended Vibration standards, you can compare these readings with our Long Range IoT Wireless Vibration Temperature Sensor to determine if your device is operating properly or if it may require service (note that actual equipment and application may vary):

A. 0.01g or Less — Excellent condition, No action required

B. 0.35g or less — Good Condition, No action required unless the machine is noisy or running at abnormal temperature

C. 0.5g or less — Fair Condition, No action required unless the machine is noisy or running at abnormal temperature

D. 0.75g or More— Rough Condition, possible action required if machine is noisy and also check the bearing temperature

E. 1g or More  — Very Rough Conditions, further analysis and see if its doing this continuously. Also check for noise and temperature

F. 1.5g or More — Danger Level, there is definitely a problem in the machine or installation. Also check the temperature Log

G. 2.5g or More — Shutdown the Machine and look for possible causes. Call a technician for immediate repair

For Heavy Machinery these readings could be 1.5 times to 2 times more.

Transmission Interval

This device sends data periodically, based on user-preset timing intervals.
This device sends data when a count threshold (user-preset) is reached.
