The correct mounting of shock and vibration data loggers on the object to be monitored is a must in order to obtain valid, meaningful data.
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 logger to the object by means of the holes provided. Alternatively, the data logger can be fastened with high-strength industrial tape or cable ties. Magnetic fastening should be avoided since it only acts in the direction of the magnetic field lines – is not force-locking.
Orientation
Align the axes of the data logger with the main direction of movement. The data logger can be mounted in any position. Make a note of the position and the direction of the axes for later evaluation.
Determination of the Slope
The +/- 15g sensor additionally measures gravity (direction to the centre of the earth, approx 1g). From the measurement of the static position, the inclination can also be determined .
Example 0…..+180 degree: ACCx = -0.518g, ACCy = 0.425g, ACCz = 0.741g:
In the setup of the MSR software for MSR145/165 select ‘read’, and for the MSR175/175plus select ‘click here to view values, the current values ACCx, ACCy, ACCz can be read.
