Sensor installation is a critical step to ensure the best results sensor mounting guidelines should be followed.
- While at the asset the transmitter will be mounted on, before mounting it, reset the sensor. This will allow it to "learn" the mesh network, it's place in the network and the best path(s) to a gateway or repeater. (Sensor Reset Instructions)
- There should be a 5” (about the width of a hand) above the sensor for the radio signal. The sensor should have as much access to open air as possible. Sensor placement should be as close to the equipment bearing locations as possible, without impeding the vibration signal being collected.
- A clean, smooth, and flat mounting surface is key to good vibration collection
- Sensors should be securely placed to avoid back and forth “rocking motion”. This could appear as a mechanical looseness condition to the analyst, resulting in a misdiagnosis of a machine health condition.
- The hole on the side of the base of the sensor should be used to align the Y axis. X axis runs perpendicular to the drilled hole, and Z axis runs up through the top

Additional details
- Over The Air configuration and firmware update capable
- Temperature is an ambient reading taken from approx. one inch off the surface of where the sensor is mounted. This is used for calibration of the sensor readings and should not be used for an accurate reading of the assets temperature.
- This is not a field serviceable sensor and should not be opened in the field. The batteries are not replaceable in the field for this model.
- RPM values are determined by using the accelerometer data.
- Smart mode avoids unnecessary FFT's by ignoring a scheduled FFT if no vibration from the machine is detected.
- The sensor has a shake awake feature for capturing abnormal vibrations.
- The 114 is capable of wireless firmware updates. This will reset the PANID to 7FFF.
- Frequency Range between 6KHz and 25.6KHz
- Sampling Rate from 100Hz to 25.6KHz

Sensor Specific Configuration
- Probe 1 Sampling Duration: Set Acceleration Wake/Interrupt Threshold. Set a breakpoint for sensor to wake up and broadcast readings. This is not interrupt based configuration ideal for devices with minimal workload/uptime. This will be an integer value that increments the interrupt threshold by 50mg. A value of 1 wakes the sensor if acceleration is above 50mg, 2 means 100mg, etc.
- Valid Input Range: 0 to 40. A value of 0 will disable this feature. This Only applies to sensor with firmware version 24 and above.
- LED Alert Mode: Choose whether the LED indicator should be based on Acceleration or Velocity.
- LED Accelerometer Threshold: Set the minimum acceleration value to make LED indicator red. This will be an integer value that increments the threshold by 50mg. A value of 1 means turn the LED red if acceleration is above 50mg, 2 means 100mg, etc.
- LED Velocity Threshold: Set the minimum velocity value to make LED indicator red. This will be an integer value that increments the threshold by 2mm/second. A value of 1 means turn the LED red if velocity is above 2mm/sec, 2 means 4mm/second, etc.
- Set On Request Timeout in seconds: This is how long the device will remain active and wait for a RAW data request command, before going inactive again.
- Set RTC: Set the value for the Real Time Clock.
- Full Scale Range: How large of a range the device can measure acceleration in. For example +/- 8g would mean that it would measure at most up to 8g and down to -8g.
- Set Dead Band in mg: This value determines the minimum acceleration in milli-g would have to be for it to be registered as a measurement. Values below the threshold would be perceived as 0.
- Payload Length: This is the size of the data payload the sensor sends when it sends a message.
- Output Data Rate (ODR): The data rate of the output signal. This would determine how many samples the output data has, which is directly related to the highest frequency components that can be measured. In accordance with the Nyquist equation: f_max = ODR/2.56 Hz
- Set Sampling Duration: This parameter determines the amount of time which the samples are taken.
- Set Low Pass Filter Probe 1: This setting will set the L:PF freq to ODR divided by Selected Value. Example: ODR = 800 and Filter Coefficient = 64 HPF freq = 800/64 = 12.5Hz
- Set High Pass Filter Probe 1: This setting will set the HPF freq to ODR divided by Selected Value. Example: ODR = 800 and Filter Coefficient = 64 HPF freq = 800/64 = 12.5Hz
- Mode: Select the mode of operation: Processed only processed data is sent, as in the example in this document. Raw full time domain data is sent (very large not recommended for prolonged periods). Processed + Raw on demand same as the first mode, but with the option to generate a Raw packet on demand. Smart in this mode the sensor automatically samples and sends a data packet if the vibration crosses a defined threshold level
- Sampling Interval: How often will the sensor transmit measurement data wirelessly.
- Clear Probe Uptimers: When the measured vibration is above a threshold value we can deduce that the machine is on and start a counter to measure the uptime. This setting will zero out the uptime value.
- Set Auto Raw Interval: This interval is multiplied by the sample interval to determine how often the sensor should automatically transmit raw data. If the value is set to 1 and the sample interval is 30 minutes, Raw data will be sent every 30 minutes. If the value is set to 5, Raw data will be sent every 150 minutes. You can obtain the value from the Modem MAC Message.
- Set Auto Raw Destination Address: This is the address where the Auto Raw data will be sent, we recommend setting this to your gateway address. For example: 41:D5:EC:37
- Set Smart Mode Threshold: If RMS acceleration is above this in any axis, it will send data. This will be an integer value that increments the interrupt threshold by 50 mg. A value of 1 means to wake the sensor if acceleration is above 50 mg, 2 means 100 mg, etc.
- Set Smart Mode Skip Interval: Sensor will skip sending data this many times if vibration is below the smart threshold.
- Set FLY Interval: Set the interval at which the sensor will send FLY packets. FLY packets are what allows Node-Red to reconfigure the sensor so this determines how often the sensor should check in for updated configurations.
- Enable RPM Calculate Status: When a measurement sample is taken you can choose to not calculate the RPM, this will shorten the measurement time and save on battery.
-
Set Max Raw Sample: Defines the maximum number of samples the sensor captures for time-domain data.

Reset switch
To activate the reset switch swipe a magnet up the right side of the sensor. There is a hole on the base of the sensor that is used for XYZ axis alignment. The switches are on the left and right side of the hole if you can not see the battery connector through the lid. Ideally, look through the lid for the connector highlighted below and swipe over the Reset switch. There is a faint red LED when you swipe over the Reset switch but it is very dim. You will see a single flash 5 to 10 seconds after the swype. If you see lights immediately you have swiped over the Configuration switch and should swipe once on the other side and wait momentarily for the lights. If you swipe and see no lights from either side after 5 to 10 seconds, the sensor battery is too low and support should be contacted for assistance.
Swiping over the Configuration button for 6 to 10 seconds will put the sensor into configuration mode and it will not collect sensor data until the reset switch is activated.
Swiping over the Reset button for 30 seconds will cause the sensor to be put into factory reset mode and will reset the PANID to 7FFF.
- When packing the sensors for shipment ensure the magnets are not touching devices, no magnet to orange lid, no magnet to magnet. Lid to lid is fine.
- Verify orientation of Y axis indication hole on base is in alignment with the sensor board viewable through the orange lid
