      The characteristics of the vibration modules are as follows:

      1. Vibration:

      • Data acquisition:
        Measuring range  ± 16 g
        Resolution  0.5 mg
        Frequency range

        2...3,200 Hz  (Sampling rate: 6,400 Hz)
      • Data processing:

        Vibration velocity 

        [per measuring axis + magnitude]

        		 RMS, Mean, Standard Deviation, Peak to Peak, Crest Factor, Kurtosis, Skewness

        Vibration acceleration

        [per measuring axis + magnitude]

        		 RMS, Peak to Peak
      • Data evaluation:
        Monitoring of the vibration velocity in our four freely selectable severity zones (based on DIN ISO 10816-3). Configurable thresholds for pre- and main alarms for RMS values of acceleration (a-RMS) or velocity (v-RMS) in three axis and magnitude.

      2. Vibration Velocity:

      Measuring range RMS  0...220 mm/s*
      Resolution RMS 0.42 mm/s*
      Measurement error RMS  ± 5 % FS*
      Linearity deviation RMS  ± 2 % FS*

       

      3. Vibration Acceleration: 

      Measuring range RMS  0...16 g
      Resolution RMS 0.006 g*
      Measurement error RMS  ± 5 % FS*
      Linearity deviation RMS  ± 2 % FS*

       

      (Please note: *The quantities are frequency dependent and were determined at a reference of 79.4 Hz.; Statistical values and axis-dependent events (threshold monitoring with pre- and main alarms.)

      Below you will find the characteristics of the environmental modules: 

      1. Temperature: 

      Measuring range  0...70 °C  
      Resolution  0.1 °C  
      Measurement error   ± 2 % FS*
      Linearity deviation   ± 0.75 % FS*

       

      2. Humidity:

      Measuring range  5...95 % RH
      Resolution  1 % RH
      Linearity deviation  ± 2.5 % FS

       

      (Please note: Due to temperature influences, the evaluation of the absolutely measured variable is not useful. Therefore, the measurement error is not specified. Statistical values (e.g. minimum, maximum) & events (threshold monitoring with lower and upper alarms.)

      3. Ambient pressure: 

      Measuring range  300...1100 hPa
      Resolution  0.15 hPa
      Linearity deviation  ± 0.1 % FS

       

      (Please note: The sensor is designed to detect changes and not to interpret the absolute measured value. For this reason, the measurement error is not specified. Statistical values (e.g. minimum, maximum) & events (threshold monitoring with lower and upper alarms.)
