AX-3D

Description

Available in two versions (measurement range: ±2g or ±10g), the BeanDevice® 2.4GHz AX-3D is a wireless vibration sensor with built-in data logger.

Characterised by a waterproof (IP67/Nema 6) and a lightweight aluminium casing (80x55x21mm, 155g), an ultra-low power, a very low noise (45 µg/√Hz for ±2g version), an integrated data logger that can store up to 1 million data logs, this wireless vibration sensor is well suited for acceleration and velocity monitoring.

While the vast majority of wireless sensors are not suitable for harsh industrial environment, the BeanDevice® 2.4GHz AX-3D integrates an innovative antenna diversity design, boosting the radio link quality in environments subject to random and diverse disturbances. Antenna Diversity improves both the quality and reliability of a wireless link by 30%.

The combination of a 5th order anti-aliasing filter (remotely programmable by the user) and a software IIR filter enables a seamless operation on a harsh environment (construction site, structural monitoring). Our outstanding TimeSync® function allows to reach a time-synchronisation of ±2.5ms over the wireless sensor networks. It contributes to enhance user experience about data fusion and modal analysis.

TheBeanScape® 2.4GHz (except Manager and Basic versions), a supervision software dedicated to Beanair® WSN comes with a complete vibration analysis report:

• Real-Time vibration and Velocity display

• Advanced vibration analysis tool: FFT, PPV (Peak Particle Velocity), Velocity

• Automatic FFT (with PPV values) and Velocity reports (meeting the DIN4150-3 standard)

• Alarm generation by email when a trigger is reached

Users looking for a quick and easy integration with a third party software, have choice between ModBus TCP/RTU/ASCII protocol available on our BeanGateway® 2.4GHz or OPC DA available on our BeanScape® 2.4GHz (Premium+ & Cloud versions only).

This BeanDevice® 2.4GHz AX-3D is suitable for the following applications:

• Ground vibration Monitoring on construction site

• Dynamic measurement on rolling stock

• Condition monitoring

• Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

• Vibration analysis
