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.)

 

ACM 5

 

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.)
