2Intended use
Move 4 is a scientific research instrument that captures the physical activity
and other secondary parameters derivable from these measurement
signals. Move 4 is designed and tailored for the use in research
applications.
The physical activity sensor Move 4 is not a medical device!
The sensor measures the physical activity of a person based on the
acquisition of acceleration in three dimensions and atmospheric air
pressure. Moreover the sensor also records the rotation rate and the
ambient temperature.
The sensor configuration occurs via a USB 2.0 connection to a Windows PC
using the Sensor Manager software.
3Explanation of Symbols

8Description of the Sensor
Depending on the application, Move 4 sensor can be worn in various
locations: hip, chest, wrist, thigh, ankle, upper arm.
For the different sensor locations, the sensor system offers different
possibilities for the analysis of the acceleration signal. The preferred
position for energy expenditure measurements is the hip.
Included in the delivery you also receive a cradle with a micro USB interface.
To connect the sensor to a PC, you have to separate it from the chest belt
or the electrodes and plug it into the cradle.
Move 4 is also equipped with a Bluetooth Smart interface. The sensor can
be used in conjunction with a gateway or a mobile phone for live
applications. The Bluetooth Smart interface is activated in the default
configuration of the sensor. To deactivate this interface, a firmware update
is required.
The axes of the integrated acceleration sensor are defined as described in
the following figure:

11 Handling

11
This chapter describes how to prepare a measurement and how to attach
the sensor to a test person. Furthermore you get information on how to
save, delete and analyze data from the sensor.
11.1 Charging the Sensor
Step 1: Connect the cradle with the USB cable to a USB 2.0 port (USB port
of your computer or another port that conforms to USB standard like USB
hub or USB charger). Attach the sensor with the help of the push buttons at
the cradle. Please make sure that the 4 contacts are connected (marked red
in the picture). To charge multiple sensors at the same time, we suggest
using a USB hub.
✓After connecting the sensor to a USB port, the charging process starts
immediately. During charging, the status LED is blinking blue. If the
sensor is fully charged, the LED is blinking green. The charging process
of the sensor can take up to two hours, depending on the battery
status of your sensor.
✓If the sensor is fully charged, the battery run time during recording is 3
days.
11.2 Preparing a Measurement
Step 1: Start the SensorManager by selecting
Windows Startmenu →movisens SensorManager →SensorManager

12
Step 2: Connect the Move 4 sensor to your PC using the cradle.
The SensorManager application shows information about sensor hardware,
sensor state and sensor configuration.
Before you start a measurement please check the charging status of the
battery. The maximum measurement duration can only be reached when
the battery is fully charged.
11.3 Starting a Measurement
To start a measurement, please perform the following steps:
Step 1: In the SensorManager software click on the „Start Recording“
button in the lower left of the window.
Step 2: Please supply the requested information into the text fields.
Step 3: Start the measurement by clicking the „Start“ button.
Step 4: Please follow the instructions and remove the sensor from the
cradle.
✓The status LED will flash red once per second as soon as the
measurement has started and data will be recorded. If a delayed start
was configured the LED flashes red every two seconds until the
measurement starts.
✓At the end of the measurement the LED stops flashing.
11.4 Attaching the Sensor to the Test
Person
Attach the sensor to one of the following locations:

13
Use the belt attachment to attach the
sensor to the right side hip. The
movisens logo should face directly to
the right as depicted in the following
image.
Use the wrist band to attach the sensor
to the non-dominant hand of the test
person. At this position only simple
parameters like Movement Acceleration
can be measured.
Use a chest belt to attach the sensor
level with the participant’s sternum. The
movisens logo should face directly
forward.
Use adhesive film to tape the sensor in
place. Suitable for the upper arms and
thighs.

14
Disposable electrodes can also serve as
an attachment mechanism, and can be
used at various locations such as upper
arms, thighs, and chest
Depending on the position of the sensor, different parameters can be
analyzed after the measurement. For more details refer to the user manual
of the DataAnalyzer.
11.5 Stopping a Measurement
The measurement will automatically be stopped if the configured
measurement duration has passed.
A running measurement will also be stopped when:

15
⚫The sensor is connect to a PC
⚫The end of the battery run time has been reached
If the battery is low, this is indicated by fast blue flashing light (three times
per second). The sensor will turn off soon.
11.6 Storing Measurement Data
The measurement data of the sensor is stored as raw data (e.g. the
acceleration data as it is measured).
To store recorded measurement data on the PC do the following steps:
Step 1: Start the SensorManager by selecting
Windows Start menu →movisens SensorManager →SensorManager
Step 2: Connect Move 4 sensor to the PC using the cradle.
Step 3: Click on „Save Data“.
Step 4: Please type in the requested information.
Step 5: Finally click on „Save data“
The measurement data will be stored either in the unisens format or as .csv
file. Unisens is an open data format for multi sensor data. You can find
further information about unisens here: www.unisens.org
12 Cleaning Instructions
It is important to clean the sensor, the wrist bands and the hip belts
regularly to avoid possible infections between users.
Clean the sensor and the band/belt at least after each participant.

16
12.1 Cleaning the Sensor
If you want to clean Move 4 and plastic attachment parts, please note the
following:
⚫Disconnect the sensor from band/belt or cradle.
⚫Use fast-acting alcoholic surface disinfectant (e.g. Meliseptol Foam
Pure) to clean the complete sensor housing. Respect the
instructions of the manufacturer.
12.2 Cleaning the Bands and Belts
To clean the band and belt please observe the following:
⚫Disconnect the sensor from the band/belt.
⚫Disinfect the band/belt with fast-acting alcoholic surface
disinfectant (e.g. Meliseptol rapid). Respect the instructions of the
manufacturer.
⚫Wash the band/belt by hand and not in the washing machine. Use
a mild liquid detergent.
⚫After washing rinse the band/belt with clear water.
⚫Directly after washing, air-dry the band/belt before storing or using
it for new measurements.
13 Maintenance and Proper
Disposal
13.1 Maintenance

17
