G-LINK-200

Rugged Wireless Accelerometer, 3-Axis

The G-Link-200 is a battery powered wireless 3-axis accelerometer with a rugged, weatherproof enclosure. The G-Link-200 provides extremely low noise waveform data, ideal for vibration, impact, motion, and tilt monitoring applications. Additionally, derived vibration parameters allow for long-term condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
Lord wireless sensor networks are fast to deploy and provide reliable, lossless data throughput. These networks are proven to work in demanding industries where reliable data acquisition is critical.

Description

The G-Link-200 has an onboard triaxial accelerometer allowing high-resolution data acquisition with extremely low noise and drift. Derived vibration parameters allow for long-term monitoring of key performance indicators while maximizing battery life.

LORD Sensing Wireless Sensor Networks enable simultaneous, high-speed sensing and data aggregation from scalable sensor networks. Our wireless sensing systems are ideal for test and measurement, remote monitoring, system performance analysis, and embedded applications.

Users can easily program nodes for continuous, periodic burst, or event-triggered sampling with the SensorConnect software. The optional web-based SensorCloud interface optimizes data aggregation, analysis, presentation, and alerts for sensor data from remote networks.
