The ShockLog® 298 data logger monitors and records impact, shock and vibration environmental conditions during transit or storage. It provides real-time alerts for potential impacts, ensuring immediate inspection.
Real-Time Alerts and Inspection Features
The data logger helps determine baseline damage boundaries, identify mishandled goods, and assign accountability during shipping, operation, and storage. It enables data analysis to identify areas for improvement in product packaging, loading processes, carriers, and transportation modes, leading to cost reduction.
Key features of the logger include user-programmable impact scales and frequency filters, peak value (time slot) showcase, and summarized journey profile data. It can record detailed impact curves for up to 870 events and 262,000 slots, capturing direction, amplitude, and duration of impact force and peak acceleration values on a time basis.
Data from the recorder can be accessed via a USB connection or iButton® interface, enabling easy setup, downloading, and operation. The iButton® interface allows for a secure and tamper-proof journey report download. The ShockLog® software, compatible with Windows®, provides complete programming control and full data access.
Advanced Tracking Capabilities: GPS Integration
Additional modules like ShockLog® Cellular provide real-time alerts for out-of-tolerance conditions, while ShockLog® Satellite records positioning, time, and location for every event and summary interval through a GPS module.
Optional sensors are available to enhance the ShockLog® 298, including temperature, humidity, pressure, tilt, and roll sensors. The RF module allows transmission and retrieval of information to an RF Base Station Module attached to a computer.
