Wireless Vibration and Temperature Sensor for Predictive Maintenance – Specifications

Designed specifically for monitoring equipment as part of a predictive maintenance program.

  • Monitors the top predictors of impending equipment failures.
    • Motor vibration monitoring sensor detects maximum and average vibration on 3 axis to detect upward trends or spikes in vibration.
    • Motor temperature monitoring sensor detects over-heating.
  • Fast and easy to install.
    • Magnetic mounts the vibration and temperature sensor in seconds.
  • Standard monitoring scenario: Sensor transmits readings every 15 minutes.
    • Temperature alerts are typically set based on normal readings.
    • Vibration is sampled at 5 kHz on 3 axes for a few seconds in the range of 0 to 8Gs.
      • The data is edge-processed on board the sensor using proven methods where a change in trend is indicative of an impending failure.

Temperature Sensing Specification

  • -20C to 85C standard temperature range.
    • Optional high temperature options available with special configurations.  Contact us for more information.
  • Temperature sensor is embedded in the magnet.

Vibration Sensing Specification

  • 3 axis g-force reading taken and edge-processed into RMS acceleration, RMS velocity, and peak acceleration. Any increase in these values indicate a motor is functioning differently and likely has a problem. Each of these readings is calculated for both radial (rotating) vibration and axial vibration (parallel to the shaft of the rotating equipment).
    • RMS acceleration weights the higher frequencies.
    • RMS velocity weights the lower frequencies.
    • Peak acceleration will detect serious impact forces such as bearing defects and chipped gear teeth.
  • G-force readings up to +/- 8 G.
  • Accelerometer operating temperature: -40C to 85C (-40F to 185F)
  • On-board storage for 174,762 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 transceiver node.
  • Typical sampling and analysis (can be adjusted to each application):
    • Accelerometer is checked every 15 minutes.
    • Each axis is sampled at 5 KHz. (Up to 5 KHz sampling available, if needed).
    • Samples are taken for 3 seconds.
    • RMS acceleration, RMS velocity, and peak acceleration are transmitted.
  • 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.
    • Custom edge computing algorithms using FFTs and other sophisticated methods are available.
  • Configurable high G-force event – instant wake-up and transmit function – optional.

Magnet Specification

  • 35 pounds maximum pulling force (on clean steel surface).  Holding force is typically less on surfaces that are painted, dirty, or not flat.
  • 180 F maximum temperature (standard product).  Magnet is 2.75 x 1.12 X 0.5 inches – mounted to the back of the composite enclosure.
    • 390F magnet option available.
  • For non-steel surfaces or surfaces with poor magnetic attraction (such as electric motor fins):
    • Steel sheet metal interface plates are available that come with expoxy to adhere the steel to the desired surface.
  • Not recommended for non-flat surfaces.
  • Contact Us to integrate an application-specific magnet-mounted temperature sensor with the Leap Sensors wireless system.

Leap Wireless Sensor Transceiver Node Specifications

  • Transmission distance to gateway: typically 1500 feet in open air. Several hundred feet in an industrial environment.
  • Battery
  • Bi-color LEDs integrated into the power switch blink to provide user feedback on sensor functions.
  • Rugged sensor enclosure
    • IP68 enclosure rated to 120C (248F). Panel connectors and glands rated to IP68. Power switch with LEDs rated to IP66.
    • Rugged polycarbonate composite enclosure. UL 94 V0 rated, flame-resistant and self-extinguishing.
    • 4.4 x 3.2 x 3.4 in  (113 x 80 x 90 mm), not including optional mounting feet.
  • Long-range antenna inside the enclosure: Keeps the total footprint small and prevents damage to the antenna.
  • Industrial power switch: Latching push button. IP66 rated.
  • 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.
  • 2-way communication with the sensor through the user interface:
    • Name the sensor (device), set sensor sampling time interval, set wireless transmit time interval, over-the-air firmware updates.
    • Gateways send an acknowledgement to the device that the data was received for high reliability.
  • Sensor data logging: 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” acknowledgement of successful transmission and sensor data logging for extra reliability.
  • Over-the-air protocol: Standard and established 6LoPan and Thread.
  • Data security: “gold standard” internet security with AES encryption.
  • 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.
