ASPION G-Log shock sensors
0. General description
With the ASPION G-Log shock sensor, you can record shocks, vibrations and climate data. It offers a 3-axes
accelerometer and, depending on the product variant, an integrated temperature and humidity sensor. The
following table shows you the available software versions and variants. You can reuse the sensor a number
of times and for different transports.
Using the ASPION G-Log Manager computer software, you can define thresholds and operate the sensor.
When reading out data from the sensor, the software displays the measured values. Data is transferred
wirelessly to and from the sensor using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and a card reader
which is connected via a USB interface to the computer. To easily read out a sensor, you can use the
additional ASPION G-Log Apps for smartphones free of charge; ASPION G-Log 2 can additionally be read out
via Bluetooth (BLE). Data is easily sent from the App via e-mail or automatically (ASPION G-Log Premium).
The ASPION G-Log Manager computer software then quickly analyses and further processes your data.
Each sensor has a unique ID which can be found on the label and in the QR code or in the barcode.
The solution contains the following components:
ASPION G-Log shock sensor USB card reader ASPION G-Log Manager
in different variants PC software on USB stick
PC software ASPION G-Log Manager for Windows 7 and later App for Android and iOS smartphones

5. Mounting
5.1 Mounting orientation
To correctly assign the axes in case of shock
events, the mounting orientation is critical.
Recommended mounting
On steel: M3 ISO 7380 FL
On wood/sheet metal: flathead screws with
a maximum thread diameter of 3.5 mm
(e.g. DIN 7981)
Maximum tightening torque: 0.4 - 0.5 Nm
Alternatively, you can use industrial adhesive tape
(e.g. 3M) for fixing.
When mounting the ASPION G-Log 2, make sure that you do not damage the lateral membrane used to
protect the humidity sensor from splashing water.

ASPION G-Log shock sensors / Battery replacement for ASPION G-Log 2
User manual –Version 3.2/11-19 Copyright © ASPION GmbH Page 12
6. Battery replacement for ASPION G-Log 2
As soon as the battery of the ASPION G-Log 2 is exhausted, the sensor can no longer be read out. But all
recorded data is stored in memory. To read the data and use the sensor again, replace the battery. Replace
the battery only on a clean, dry and non-conductive work surface. How to:
1. Open the housing by unscrewing the two screws on the bottom of the housing with a screwdriver.
2. Remove the battery using a blunt, non-metallic object (e.g. a pencil or plastic pen) from the holder
on the side of the housing edge. Avoid contact with electronic devices.
3. Place a new battery of type CR2032, 3V / 220 mAh in the holder, manufacturer Panasonic is
recommended. Please note the polarity: the + side of the battery (label) is on top. When inserting
the battery, the two LEDs marked in the picture light up briefly. Screw down the housing again.
4. Wait 10 seconds before reading the sensor and check the battery capacity.
Please note: The sensor keeps its previously set state during the battery exchange and adopts this state
after the battery has been replaced. As soon as the battery is empty, the internal timer also stops.
Tips for battery replacement
Replace weak battery while sensor is active
If you replace a low battery of a sensor in an activated, running state, proceed quickly to avoid an excessive
time delay. The internal timer stops if no battery is inserted and continues to run from the time the new
battery is inserted.
Restoring the current time
As soon as the battery of a sensor is exhausted, the internal clock stops. You can reset the time after
battery replacement by reactivating it. If you do not immediately reinsert the sensor afterwards, we
recommend to stop the sensor. This significantly reduces battery consumption compared to a sensor in the
activated state.

LEDs when inserting

ASPION G-Log shock sensors / Disposal
User manual –Version 3.2/11-19 Copyright © ASPION GmbH Page 13
7. Disposal
To comply with the European WEEE directive, no ASPION G-Log shock sensor must be disposed of
together with domestic waste. Please take the sensor to a municipal e-waste recycling center or
send it back to your supplier.
8. Card reader (NFC)
To operate the ASPION G-Log shock sensor, you require an Identiv uTrust 3700 F card reader with NFC
technology. You find a description on how to install this card reader in this user manual.
9. Security notes
The ASPION G-Log shock sensors are not designed for safety-relevant applications.
A sensor which is visibly damaged must not be operated. Please return sensors which do not operate
correctly or are damaged to your provider.
Prevent fluids from penetrating the device, as they may cause corrosion damage or short circuit. The
ASPION G-Log 2 is protected by a membrane at the lateral opening.
You must not open or modify the ASPION G-Log, or replace the battery itself of the ASPION G-Log.
The battery can be replaced by the manufacturer (this does not apply to the Waterproof variant).
The battery of the ASPION G-Log 2 can be replaced by the user. When replacing the battery, be careful
not to cause short circuits and follow the instructions.
Never use a sensor with leaking battery. Do avoid touching this sensor with your bare hands. If you had
contact to leaking fluids, thoroughly wash your hands. Make sure to remove the remaining electrolyte
using a damp cloth. Wash contaminated clothing that has come into contact with the electrolyte.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability for damages which were caused due to inappropriate
use or wrong operation.
The product fulfills the requirements of the IEC 60950-1-2005 (second edition) + A1:2009 + A2:20013

User manual –Version 3.2/11-19 Copyright © ASPION GmbH Page 16
3. Before getting started
3.1 General overview of the user interface
The ASPION G-Log Manager always starts with the Write sensor function. The software user interface is
organized in three areas:
Functions Content area and associated function buttons List area
Depending on the function you have selected, the content area and the list area change. This especially
applies to the selected sensor types.
When calling a function, the corresponding first entry of the list area is automatically marked.
The entries in the list area are sorted by date: the entry with the latest date (e.g. created on, changed
on, read on) appears at the top.
3.2 Important: Setting the sensor types
The ASPION G-Log Manager is used to operate all ASPION G-Log sensors. Therefore, first set the sensor
type(s) that you are using: ASPION G-Log (incl. Waterproof) and/or ASPION G-Log 2. The important
differences are described in section 1, see ASPION G-Log shock sensor, chapter 1, Variants. Both sensor
types are selected after the installation.
The program will support you with exactly the functions you need to operate the respective sensor type.
The matching information is shown in the respective views and functions.
Please note: You can select the sensor type or operate both sensor types together at any time. The ASPION
G-Log Manager immediately applies the selected setting.

4. Operating the sensor
4.1 Defining the settings
You define the sensor details for your shipment with the Write sensor function.
Select the Write sensor function in the left area
Define the following settings:
Enter any name for your shipment. This name is uniquely assigned to the shipment and the sensor and
displayed, for example, for analyses. If this field is not filled in, a sensor ID will automatically be
assigned.
Define a time when the sensor starts logging data: immediately or at a specific date/time in the future,
at the earliest after the next full hour.
Please note: the sensor consumes 5% of its battery capacity per year in delivery condition. If it was
used once and then deactivated, the battery consumption in a non-active state is increased to 25% per
year.
Define a time when the sensor stops logging data: manually via the Stop sensor function or
automatically at a specific date/time in the future. The sensor can also be stopped using the
smartphone App (Android), see ASPION G-Log App for smartphones.
By entering the planned usage time (weeks/optional), the program checks whether the battery life of
the sensor will be sufficient for the planned transportation time. If the capacity is insufficient, you will
receive a corresponding message.

entering a PIN.
Additionally, you can enter a PIN to stop the sensor with the smartphone App.
Please note: You make changes to the global settings with the Global settings function,
