Shocklog Impact & Environmental Recorders

Monitor critical goods and equipment that need special care and handling in transport, storage, and use. Shock, vibrations, and unacceptable environmental conditions can cause costly damage. Identifying responsibility for these unacceptable conditions is the first step in preventing damage and downtime.

ShockWatch Impact & Environmental Recorders provide ongoing monitoring of the intensity and duration of shock and vibration to large stationary or moving equipment, structures, and products. Tri-axial piezo-electric accelerometer technology is used to record impact direction, amplitude, and duration. Optional sensors also record changes in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.

Features:

  • Record direction, amplitude, and duration of impact forces

  • Optional sensors record changes in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, tilt and roll.

  • New GPS / GPRS tracking module pinpoints the location of mishandling or exposure to unfavorable conditions.

  • New RF radio module available to allow transmission and reception of data to an RF base station attached to a PC

There are three models available with many variations:
Shocklog 298
Shocklog 248
Shocklog 208

Shocklog 298

 

ShockLog 298 (SL298)

ShockLog 298 monitors and records shock, vibration and environmental conditions experienced by any type of structure or equipment whether in use, in transit or in storage. With the capacity to record data up to 870 events and 262,000 time slots, the device alerts you whenever damage may have occurred so you can respond promptly. Optional sensors extend the value of your Shocklog by providing more intelligence about your environmental journey.

This model also has the option to factory fit an external temperature/humidity sensor into the unit (SL298-H)

Optional Accessories for Shocklog 298

E trak remote monitoring for Shocklog  

eTrak™
The eTrak tracking module works with ShockLog 298 to deliver real-time event messages and prescheduled status updates, both via e-mail. The eTrak enables users to locate their product in transit with a Google map hyperlink and receive real-time reports on events including date, time, GPS coordinates and the number of events from the last reported period.

Messages are sent via the GPRS network to a user’s computer in email format, and the eTrak Windows-based software interprets the information received. Where a GPRS network is not available the eTrak system automatically reverts to SMS, sending an appropriate message to a network provider who forwards an email to the user.

The companion software stores messages in a searchable database for analysis and reporting. Solar-powered with battery backup, the module incorporates GPS and quad-band GSM / GPRS technologies. Reports include the date, time, and number of events since the last report, along with GPS coordinates and Google Maps hyperlinks for seamless viewing of message locations.

     
Shocklog remote indicator  

Remote Indicators
Remote Indicators allow users to collect impact and environmental data from areas that are not easily accessible and then view the current ShockLog status and any alarm conditions from a more convenient location. Remote Indicators are often selected when it is necessary to embed the ShockLog device into the product or package.
