The Neuron Vibration Sensor measures vibration level and surface temperature every two minutes. The sensor has an embedded magnet at the back for easy installation. Temperature measurement is done through the magnet.
General Description
The Neuron Vibration sensor is a battery-powered, wireless device that senses and transmits RMS acceleration processed from its triaxial accelerometer to the Neuron Cloud. The sensor provides a measurement range of 0 – 12 g RMS in a resolution of 1 mg. It also has a temperature sensor mounted on its magnet, measuring the object’s ambient temperature over the range -40 to 85°C.

The device is housed in an IP67 rated enclosure that provides protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. It’s small size and light weight, paired with its magnetic mounting makes it a very powerful device, ideal for use in predictive maintenance and monitoring of vibration levels on a variety of industrial equipment and machinery.



Principle of Operation
The Neuron Vibration sensor measures acceleration across three axes during a period of 80 ms every 2 minutes. The sensors calculates the RMS g value of the acceleration and transmits the data, including the temperature data, to a nearby Neuron Gateway. The gateway sends the data to the Neuron Cloud, where the user can view and analyze the vibration data across their assets.
