BATTERIES
All ShockLog units operate with AA size batteries. Either 1.5V Alkaline or 3.6V Lithium cells are acceptable. (Do not
attempt to operate the ShockLog with a mixture of Alkaline and Lithium batteries). The ShockLog 298 unit requires
two batteries and the ShockLog 248 unit requires one battery.
Two (2) AA size lithium batteries are supplied with a ShockLog kit. It is highly recommended that lithium batteries
be used whenever possible as they will provide a greater service life across a wider temperature range. The use of
alkaline batteries is recommended only on very short journeys or for experiments where the ambient temperature is
fairly constant and above 10°C/50°F.

18

USER MANUAL
BATTERY TIPS
• Always use lithium batteries for journeys where the temperature may be outside the 10°C to +50°C range.
• The capacity of alkaline batteries drops dramatically when exposed to temperatures below 10°C.
• If using lithium batteries and the ShockLog will be travelling by air, make sure the batteries are approved
for air cargo.
• If the batteries are accidentally installed with the wrong polarity, the ShockLog will not be damaged;
however, the life of the battery may be severely affected.
NOTE
All ShockLog units are rated to IP67. The battery compartment is isolated from the main body of the
ShockLog unit and a poor fitting of the battery cover will not dramatically affect the IP rating of the main
unit. However, if there is water ingress into the battery compartment, the batteries are likely to short and
cause corrosion of the battery terminals. If this corrosion occurs, the ShockLog will not function correctly,
and the unit will need to be returned to SpotSee for repair.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The battery compartment is located on the back of the ShockLog unit. (ShockLog 298
shown to right).
Remove the four screws and lift the battery cover clear.
Ensure the orientation of the batteries is correct and insert them into the ShockLog unit.
Both batteries are oriented in the same direction; the positive terminal for both
batteries is at the same end of the ShockLog unit.
Ensure the rubber seal is correctly positioned, replace the battery cover and insert the 4
screws. Care should be taken when securing the lid. Ensure the screws are tightened evenly
in a diagonal rotation and tightened to 25cNm torque (hand tight).

USER MANUAL
SHOCKLOG MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Mounting Orientation
The ShockLog axes are indicated on the side of the unit. Mount the ShockLog either vertically or
horizontally and note the orientation. Variation from the orientation of the ShockLog should be
noted in order to assist with data analysis at the end of the journey.
Securing the ShockLog
Whenever possible, it is recommended you mount the ShockLog directly to the product being monitored. Several
alternatives exist for securing the ShockLog to the shipment:
• Use all four (4) supplied mounting bolts as shown in Figure A.
• A mounting plate is available that has been predrilled for the four isolation bushings provided in the mounting kit.
A mounting hole in the middle of the plate attaches to the shipment as shown in Figure B. The mounting hole has
been sized for an M8 bolt but can be drilled out to accept a larger bolt.
• Magnetic mounts are available and can be secured to the four corners of the ShockLog.
Mounting Best Practices
Mount the ShockLog as low as possible, but it is more important to be nearest to the most sensitive part of your
product. Be sure to mount the device to a location that is structurally sound and avoid mounting in the middle of a panel.
When mounting, avoid metal-to-metal contact, and use the rubber bushings provided in the mounting kit to
decrease excess vibration.

USER MANUAL
Avoid building special brackets to mount the ShockLog. If a cover is required, place the cover over the ShockLog
but do not attach it to the ShockLog.
When mounting inside packaging or crates, make sure the product is secured by foam or mounting screws to
ensure the unit records accurate impacts during shipment. If the ShockLog is not attached securely to a shipment,
the journey data could be compromised as the measurement may be of the ShockLog moving independently of
the product being monitored
When monitoring a large shipment, always use the anti-vibration bushes. The isolation bushes must fit as shown in
the Figure A below. For the bushes to work correctly, the ShockLog must not make metal-to-metal contact.
