There is a Battery current display that shows the battery
discharge or charge status. If using an external power supply for
example solar panels the rate of charge will be the amount of
current available after suppling the working power for the unit
for battery charging up to the maximum 1.2 Amp charge rate.
The static accelerometer and magnetometer (if fitted) will show
orientation and heading information.

Device settings
There are 5 control buttons that have the following use:
•Start: Initiates a software tigger (starts a sample).
The sample starts one minute after command.
•Stop: Stops the unit from waiting for a trigger, unit
will resume waiting for a trigger after a minute.
•Sleep: A reduced power mode that waits for
communications before continuing.
•Device properties: This disconnects the bluetooth link
and reconects it to get the device properties again.
•Device setting: Reloads all the device settings.
Thresholds
•There are 2 different trigger options either level
threshold trigger or wire-break.
•The three-different axis have individual trigger
level settings from 1% of full scale to 80%.
•Wire-break sets the unit to trigger on the external
wire-break connection.
•Master trigger is not implemented in the current
version of the Vibration monitor
•Once the levels have been set the Set threshold
button updates the unit.
Parameters
•Sample rate can be set for 1,000 –32,000 s/s
•Record time can be set up to the maximum times
allowed by the various sample rates.
oNote a minimum of 8,000 samples should
be selected with a combination of Record
time and Sample rate
•G Range is read only and shows the current units
range.
•Pre-trigger is a percentage from 5% To 80% of the record time set. Changing either this or
the Record time alters the actual trigger time.
•Once the values are selected the Set parameters button updates the unit.
Real Time Clock
•The Real Time Clock (RTC) should be set to the
system time periodically to increase the accuracy.
•The RTC is used when there is no valid GPS
connection for data timing and for the File
Date/Time stamping
These settings are retained by the unit when switched off and to deploy the units with these pre-set
settings is simply a matter of switching the unit on.
