Wireless Vibration Sensor / Accelerometer – Specifications
A change in vibration is an excellent predictor of impending industrial equipment failures. Rather than doing a vibration analysis every few months, continually monitor equipment vibration with a fast and easy-to-install Leap industrial wireless vibration sensor.
Vibration Sensor Specifications
- Vibration sensor can mount with the provided magnet or threaded stud.
- Vibration sensor is connected to the transceiver node with a shielded cable.
- An industrial communication protocol allows long cables (if needed) between the sensor and wireless transmitter.
- 3 axis g-force reading taken.
- G-force readings up to +/- 16 G.
- Accelerometer operating temperature: -40 to 85C.
- On-board storage for 174762 sets of 3-axis (x, y, z) g-force samples with 12 bits of resolution.
- Data is typically processed by a powerful onboard microprocessor using FFT algorithms. Processed vibration analysis is then sent to the radio transmitter.
- Typical Sampling and Analysis (can be adjusted to each application).
- Accelerometer is checked every 15 minutes.
- Each axis is sampled at 1 KHz. (Up to 5 KHz sampling available, if needed).
- Samples are taken for 3 seconds.
- Average and maximum g-force readings are reported for each axis.
- Advanced Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) edge computing available
- Sensor has a powerful microprocessor and large memory to take vibration samples and process the data at the sensor.
- Configurable High G-force Event – Instant Wake-up and Transmit function – optional.
Leap Wireless Sensor Transceiver Node Specifications
- Transmission Distance to a gateway – typically 1500 feet in open air. Several hundred feet in an industrial environment.
- Battery Life – 5 to 10 years in typical applications.
- Different enclosures are available to balance battery size and battery life.
- Rugged Sensor Enclosure
- Sealed all-metal enclosure with mounting flanges. 2.44 x 1.33 x 4.73 inches
- Sensor Mounting Options
- Screw mount flanges standard.
- Magnetic mount – optional.
- High Operating Temperature – Standard sensor -40C to 85C (-40F to 185F).
- High operating temperature option available: -40C to 125C* (-40F to 260F). Unique to Leap Sensors.
- *Accelerometer is limited to 85C (185F).
- *Amp clamp is limited to -20C to 50C (-4F to 120F).
- 2-way Communication with the sensor through the user interface:
- Name the sensor, set sensor sampling time interval, set wireless transmit time interval, over-the-air firmware updates.
- Gateways send an acknowledgement to the sensor that the data was received for high reliability.
- Data Logger: When sensors do not receive an acknowledgement from the gateway that the radio transmission was received, the sensor will store the time-stamped data on-board (up to 10,000 readings) until the gateway connection is established.
- Reliable Industrial Over the Air Radio Communication
- Industry-standard 802.15.4 with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
- Gateway “handshake” acknowledgements of successful transmission and sensor data logging for extra reliability.
- Over the Air Protocol – Standard and established 6LoPan and Thread.
- Data Security – AES encryption. Standard and established TLS security.
- FCC certified.
Leap Wireless Sensors Gateway (Receiver) and User Interface Software
- See the Leap Sensors gateway page and the Leap Sensors User Interface options page for more detailed information.
- Leap Sensors wirelessly transmit data to a gateway*.
- Gateway can support over 250 sensors that are in range. (Additional gateways can extend sensor coverage.)
- The gateway then passes the data to the Leap user interface software. The user interface software may be hosted on the gateway (and connected to a PC with a USB cable), on the password-protected Leap Sensors Cloud web site, or an on-site server.
- User interface supports: logging-in, set user rights, view sensor data, set email and text alerts (cloud version), graph sensor data, download data to excel, add or subtract sensors, update firmware, and other functions.
*Custom-ordered leap sensors are available with a direct-to-cellular option where no gateway is needed and the data is sent directly to a cloud server. Contact us for more information.
