Ruggedized High-Speed Triaxial Accelerometer Node

The G- Link- 200 wireless accelerometer node features an on- board triaxial

accelerometer that allows high-resolution data acquisition at noise levels as low

as 25 µg√Hz, lossless data transmission and node- to- node synchronized

sampling at ±50 microseconds. The G-Link-200 can output continuous waveform

data, or one of four derived channels, including Velocity RMS, Acceleration RMS,

Acceleration p- p, and Crest Factor, allowing long- term monitoring of key

performance indicators while maximizing battery life.

To acquire sensor data, the G-Link-200 is used with a LORD Sensing data

gateway such as the WSDA-101 or WSDA-1500 Base. G-Link-200 sensor nodes

come with the following components.

LORD QUICK START GUIDE ® G-Link -200 ® Ruggedized High-Speed Triaxial Accelerometer Node The G- Link- 200 wireless accelerometer node features an on- board triaxial accelerometer that allows high-resolution data acquisition at noise levels as low as 25 µg√Hz, lossless data transmission and node- to- node synchronized sampling at ±50 microseconds.

G-Link-200 Wireless Accelerometer Node Quick Start Guide SYSTEM OPERATION 1. Install Software Sensor nodes have three operational modes: active , sleep , and idle . When the node is sampling, it is in active mode. When sampling stops, the node is switched into idle mode, which is used for configuring node settings, and allows toggling between sampling and sleeping modes. The node will automatically go into the ultra low- power sleep mode after a user- determined period of inactivity.

Connect to Nodes The node can be connected with the automatic node discovery feature and by manually entering the node address and then searching for it on the current gateway communication frequency. 1. If the base and node are on the same operating frequency, the node will populate below the Base Station listing when powering on the G-Link-200.

G-Link-200 Wireless Accelerometer Node Quick Start Guide 3. Under Sampling, select Sample Rate from the drop down menu, select Continuously to sample indefinitely. 4. Configure Node Node settings are stored to non-volatile memory and may be configured using SensorConnect. For details related to node configuration, see Wireless Sensor Configuration on page 1. For this example, the G- Link- 200 is using the default settings found under Configure > Hardware (Figure 8 - Node Configuration).
