Access Full Specs

Worldsensing’s Vibration Meter is a wireless sensor that automates data collection for continuous, long-term vibration monitoring. It features a triaxial accelerometer and an edge algorithm that responds to anomalies: it detects when thresholds for vibration-based parameters are exceeded.

Four operational modes

The Vibration Meter offers multiple operational modes to address a diverse range of vibration monitoring applications. Each mode is designed to extract key parameters for specific scenarios, enabling accurate assessment of structural behavior, ground response, and human comfort.

Configurable parameters

Different reporting periods, two configurable thresholds managing the reporting logics, and acquisition parameters can be configured using CMT or the Worldsensing App

Alert mode

Use the secondary threshold to have highly critical events reported automatically in a shorter reporting period

Raw data storage

Specific mode raw data (i.e. waveforms for PPV) are stored in the device’s internal memory for the relevant events. Downloadable via local connection or Bluetooth, via Worldsensing App

Frequently Asked Questions about the Vibration Meter

What is the vibration meter?

The Vibration Meter is a wireless sensor designed to measure vibration levels and detect vibration-based events. It features a tri-axial accelerometer and can detect threshold breaches for vibration-based parameters such as LAW/PPV and frequency.

How does Vibration Meter work?

The Vibration Meter data sensor uses a 3-axis accelerometer to measure vibration changes. It transmits data via Worldsensing LoRa networks to a CMT Edge for local-access, single-network deployments. For multi-project, multi-network deployments, data can be transmitted via the internet from the gateway to CMT Cloud. Data can be sent to third party software from CMT using standard file transfer protocols: MQTT, REST API, FTP.

What is the maximum interval at which vibration data can be collected?

Devices can be configured at different reporting periods. The highest possible acquisition rate when using Worldsensing is one sample every 30 seconds, and the lowest is one sample every 24 hours.

What is the communication range for the data logger?

The radio range of any of Loadsensing devices varies depending on the environment. In open sight, the range can reach up to 15 km (9.3 mi), while in a city street it is up to 4 km (2.5 mi). When placed in a manhole in a city street, the range is up to 2 km (1.2 mi), and in a tunnel, it extends up to 4 km (2.5 mi).

Is this vibration meter in compliance to DIN 4150-3?

Yes, but not exclusively. We process the PPV and frequency parameters required by this specific standard, but these parameters and processing methods are applicable across a wide range of vibration standards that rely on similar indicators. Ultimately, the choice of a particular standard depends on the specific threshold levels used for comparison against the reported data.

Is it required to level the device during installation?

The device can be installed in any orientation, as MEMS sensors don't require specific corrections for different components. It automatically filters gravity effects, so leveling isn't needed, and performance remains unaffected by orientation.

However, data is always reported in the X, Y, and Z axes, with one axis ideally aligned vertically. Small misalignments will introduce minor crosstalk between channels, so while performance is still reliable, it’s recommended to level the sensor for optimal accuracy.

Is an MQTT license required to receive alert messages?

No, an MQTT license is not mandatory for receiving alert messages. Vibration Meter (VM) formats alert messages the same way as regular periodic data messages. The only difference is that alerts are triggered immediately when a vibration exceeds the configured threshold and are appended to previous events.

While MQTT is recommended for its benefits, integration through other methods will also provide access to the data in real time. This differs from other Worldsensing's Tiltmeter Event Detection, where response latency is much more critical.
