Protect your property with this wireless accelerometer
The G-Force Max/Avg Wireless Accelerometer delivers detailed, real-time G-force alerts. This broad-spectrum vibration meter can determine if a fence is swaying in the wind or vibrating as it’s being scaled. It can also detect irregularities in assembly lines, motors, and wind turbines.
This sensor reports the maximum and average g-force levels that occur on X, Y, Z, and combined axes in-between sensor heartbeats. The sensor uses a digital, low power, low profile, capacitive accelerometer capable of measuring acceleration on three axes to produce this data. The turnkey, battery-powered sensor uses an accelerometer to determine which axis the force is on and max./avg. movement force. If variables exceed preset limits, the sensor alerts the user via text, email, or call.

The sensor employs a MEMS (micro electromechanical system) based accelerometer to detect forces caused by acceleration. These forces may be static such as the constant force of gravity, or they may be dynamic - caused by moving or vibrating the sensor. A user may set thresholds (defined as Delta Values in the user interface) for each axis (X, Y, Z) as well as a magnitude threshold, such that when thresholds are exceeded the sensor will trigger and report data to iMonnit immediately.
The sensors accelerometer uses three configurable settings (Output Data Rate(ODR), Range, and High Pass Filter(HPF)) to refine the measurement capabilities of the sensor for various applications. ODR controls the responsiveness of the sensor. The highest ODR (100 Hz) will trigger in under a second, where the lowest ODR (6 Hz) will take up to 5 seconds to trigger. The sensor is constantly measuring and higher ODRs result in short battery life. The range can be set to 2, 4, or 8 g. There is a small loss of resolution as the range increases. Generally, even at 8 g, the resolution is sufficient for most applications. When the High Pass Filter is activated the sensor filters out static g-forces such as gravity. A user may also set a re-arm time, which establishes the time after the sensor triggers before the sensor may trigger again. The X, Y, Z data correlates directly with the specified axis and the magnitude data is the summation of the absolute value of the XYZ data.
