1.2 F U N C T I O N A L I T Y
MicroShockDetector is a small, universal and cost-effective data logger. Designed
for long-term measurement applications, it is ideally suited for the monitoring of transport goods
and critical environments. The integrated sensor system for the detection of shock events and for
temperature measurement enables different measuring applications. Configurable alarm
thresholds provide reliable detection of limit value exceedances. Shock loads are recorded and
assessed in real time, the temperature is recorded in an adjustable interval.
The compact and mains-independent design allows an
easy fastening on or in the transport goods or transport devices
with screws, magnetic bases or glue pads.
The housing of the device protects against dust and water
(Protection level IP 67) and is therefore also suitable for
outdoor use. The MicroShockDetector can thus be used
as a universal product companion in the international goods traffic
in storage spaces, in transit points and on the rails, also in the
water and air traffic.
The power supply is realized by a standard, replaceable lithium battery. Due to the very low
power consumption and the very long maintenance-free operation time the
MicroShockDetector is ideally suited for autonomous long-term applications. Energy-optimized
operational settings allow an autonomous running time period of typically 2 years.
The royalty-free configuration program Analyzer allows an easy and intuitive
configuration of the device. It offers a comprehensive adjustment of the device functions to your
application-specific requirements. In addition to the detailed analysis of the device data in
measurement tables and graphs, the program also provides export functions in external
applications (for example Microsoft Excel). Communication takes place via a USB interface.
By the report function an overview of the measurement data, including classification of all shocks
in acceleration classes and activities of the device will be created immediately without necessary
settings.

Operation time
The device runtime of MicroShockDetector depends on the set measurement
parameters, the battery type and the use conditions. The number of shocks on the triggering
threshold of the device is mainly decisive. Assuming that the device is activated by the shock up to
a maximum of 100,000 times, the typical runtime of a battery is about 2 years. The actual
remaining battery charge is monitored by the device and displayed by the software.
Battery change
Prior to a battery change the MicroShockDetector must be properly switched off,
otherwise the data loss of the device cannot be excluded.
For the change of the battery proceed as follows:
1) Remove the battery cover by loosening the fastening screws by means of a screw driver.
(Cross slot H size 1). Afterwards, you can pull out the battery out of the battery holder.
2) Now, insert the new battery according to the specified polarity into the device.
3) In a last step, screw again the battery cover onto the device. Pay attention to the maximum
tightening torque of 0.3 Nm and the correct position of the seal.
Attention:
Ensure the correct polarity when inserting the batteries!

A MicroShockDetector registers 200 shock events by the set threshold values and the
10 largest shocks of it to the curve progression of over 4 seconds.
All shock events are tabular performed under the program tab „Shock event table“. The
corresponding curve can be invoked by double-click on the table row, if the circle symbol • is
available in the column "Curve".

Image 14: Shock event table
Image 15: Shock curve graph
The shock curves can be browsed by the overlying scrollbars. By activating or deactivating the
"Hook" in the legend on the right side, the x,y, z-channel and the amount curve can be blended
out (see Image 15).
The vertical graph axis is switched between the maximum values of the curve and the full
measuring range of ± 8 g by the button „Axis of ordinate“.
Principle of the shock recording:
The shock recording starts when the value of the acceleration exceeds the internal trigger
threshold of 0.25 g on at least one measurement channel (approximately 3% of the measuring
range).
The measuring points are continuously recorded with 500 Hz per channel, filtered on an upper
cut off frequency of 25 Hz and it selects separate shock impacts. A shock impact starts exceeding
the trigger threshold on at least one measurement channel and ends when the main thrust
(channel with the absolute maximum of shock) changes sign (zero crossing) or all 3 channels fall
MicroShockDetector

below the trigger threshold again. Within a period of 4 s more shock impacts can occur, for
example, by vibration. The impact with the largest amplitude is evaluated at the end of a curve
period and compared with the configured criteria. A shock curve is permanently stored if the
registration thresholds met on at least one measurement channel, shock strength and shock
duration for this shock impact.
Image 16: valuation of shock events
As a shock event is considered the largest single impact within the sampling time of 4 s, which
meets all the set conditions (amount of shock, shock strength, shock duration) (in this example
Image 16 Impact 1). In addition to the measurement of the 3 channels, a value for the space
vector and integrated value for the shock strength of this impact are calculated at each
measurement point. The shock strength is equivalent to the difference speed.

Shock classification
The MicroShockDetector evaluates the acceleration amplitude of all shocks separated
by the thrusts X, Y and Z and the resulting space vector R. All shocks are specified by the
amplitude in laid down threshold classes regardless of whether these are stored as shock events
or shock curve with timestamp and measurement. It is displayed as a table and graph (Image 18).

Acceleration progress graph
Recorded shock events with their maximum acceleration amplitudes are shown in a line graph
(Image 19). It is possible to zoom into the curve shape in. By the button "Calculate average"
statistical values of acceleration are calculated on all shock events.

The configuration section is only visible if a device is connected to USB, which you can configure.
When viewing records from files this window does not appear (Image 20).
Image 20: Configuration of the device
For the meaning of the used settings see also Section 4.3.2. By the icon you can restore the
default settings.
The buttons have the following functions:
Time synchronisation: synchronizes the clock in the device to PC time
Setup new battery: resets the battery consumption meter after the change of
the battery in the device
Send configuration: sends the all settings to the device
Erase memory: deletes the all data in the memory of the device
Password configuration: allows you to change the device password
Configuration of the registration thresholds
The correct configuration of the registration thresholds is fundamental for the storage of the shock
measurements. A shock must reach the shock amount, specified at least on one axis X, Y or Z and
at the same time the minimum shock length. When a value greater than 0 m/s is entered, the
shock strength must be also met as a criterion (see also Section 4.3.7 Principle of the shock
recording).

Through a firmware update, a MicroShockDetector receives an updated application
program if this update file is provided by the manufacturer.
Prior to the firmware update the following points must be observed:
The activation of the update mode can only be carried out, if the
MicroShockDetector is switched off. If your device is still switched on, please switch it off.
Have ready the included mini USB cable and plug one end of the cable in a free USB port
of your computer for the preparation. Do not plug the USB cable into the MONI LOG®
device yet!
Ensure that on your computer no sensor network PC programmes are executed and all
necessary drivers are installed.
Attention!
Back up all measurement, diagnostics and configuration data of your device prior to the firmware
update to prevent a possible data loss. The memory is reset to default settings.
In the switched off condition of the device connect the USB cable and keep the control key
pressed (~1 second, status LED is illuminated green) until the status LED starts to flash red with
1 Hz. The update mode is active now. It only remains active as long as the USB cable is
connected. If the control key is released before the detection of the update mode, the device starts
the normal operating mode.
Proceed now with the instructions according to chapter 5.2 „Carrying out update“.
