Mounting Instructions for MSR Shock and Vibration Data Loggers
The data loggers should be force-fitted as close as possible to or on the object to be monitored. Fastening to the packaging or the means of transport will lead to deviating results.
Screw the data loggers to the object at the holes provided. Alternatively, the data loggers can also be fastened with high-strength industrial adhesive tape or cable ties. Magnetic fastening should be avoided. It only acts in the direction of the magnetic field lines - it is not force-locking.
Mounting Instructions for MSR Shock and Vibration Data Loggers
Align the Axes of the data Loggers with the main direction of movement. The data loggers can be mounted in any position. Make a note of the position and direction of the axes for later evaluation.
Are the extra sensors for temperature and Rh external to the unit. (ie wired hanging off the main unit?)
The only time the sensors are mounted externally is if you select it in the options while building the logger. The only circumstance where you would have a duplicate sensor both internal and external would be if you selected an internal temp sensor...
What is the maximum size of the sd card and how long (measuring duration) can I record only the accelertation at sample frequencies of 1600 Hz or 250 Hz.
The maximum size of the SD card is 4GB. If you are recording only acceleration at 1600Hz that will give you enough memory for 3 days but the battery life would only be good for 26 hours so you would be limited by that unless you left it plugged...
What is the minimum operating temperature? Also, can several devices be connected permanently to an industrial PC to remotely pull data?
The logger itself and the internal temperature sensor can operate as low as -20°C. If you purchase it with an external temperature sensor the external sensor can record down to -55°C however the body of the logger still would have that -...
Can you explain me the meaning of these sampling rates?
Acceleration: Up to 1600/s
Temperature: 1/s to 12 Hours
Humidity: 1/s to 12 Hours
Pressure: 1/s to 12 Hours
Light Level: 1/s to 12 Hours
what does it mean?
The sample rate is the rate or frequency the logger can be set to take a reading.
Because this logger is available with different types of sensors they give a sample rate for each type.
Acceleration: Up to 1600/s - The fastest the logger can record shock...
1. What do these parameters about acceleration mean? (MSR165 data logger)
Range: ??15g or ??200g @ -20??C to 65??C
Accuracy (15g Sensor): ??0.15g @ 25??C
Accuracy (200g Sensor): ??2g (Up to 15g); ??5g (Up to 100g); ??10g (Up to 200g)
2. What are the accelerometer and gyroscope functions in data loggers?
what information do these sensors give to us?
The logger is available in two ranges, one that can monitor and record forces of negative 15 g to plus 15 g and another that can monitor and record forces from -200 g to plus 200 g.
The temperature range the logger can monitor and record using an internal...
What is the IP rating using the internal sensors? Does using external sensors change this?
The MSR 165 logger is rated at IP67. The external accelerometer sensor is sealed in silicone and shares this rating. The MSR 165 logger is rated at IP67. The external accelerometer sensor is sealed in silicone and shares this rating.&...
Will the unit be permanently damaged if it is exposed to temperatures up to 100C for tow to three hours?.
If you order it with an external temperature sensor it can withstand up to 125C. The body of the logger itself can only be used up to 65C and even at that temp it shouldn’t be exposed to it for long periods. Doing so would permanently...
What is the expected battery life per charge?
The battery life will vary depending on the configuration used during setup and the number of sensors you are monitoring.
If you download the free software (located on the "manuals and resources" tab which is towards the bottom of the product webpage...
Does it matter how the device is mounted, vertical, horizonal, 45 degree angle?
You can mount the device any way you would like but you’ll just need to keep in mind the orientation as far as the X,Y, and Z axis goes.
