Battery-powered portable vibration and shock recorder. The device has an embedded 3-axial accelerometer and a high-accuracy temperature sensor. The acquired data is stored in the non-volatile internal memory with a real-time stamp for subsequent analysis.

The device has a sturdy aluminum casing and is rated IP65 water & dust resistant. It has a wide measurement range for both acceleration and temperature and provides accurate data with a low error rate.

The acceleration sensor has adjustable sensitivity and sample rate for different applications. The temperature sensor has a flexible sampling period from 1 minute to 1 hour.  

The data logger operates in two modes

  • continuous recording 
  • shock-event recording 

Continuous recording mode stores all acceleration data. In shock-event mode, only the acceleration values exceeding the user-defined trigger level are recorded. Acceleration trigger levels can be specified for individual axes. Each shock event includes a user-defined time interval before and after the shock.

The device delivers up to 1 month of uninterrupted work, depending on the mode, sample rate, and battery type.  

RL-R17 is easy to use with one control button and LED lights on the front panel indicating its status and recording mode.

The shock recorder connects to PC through a standard IP65-protected USB2.0 socket. While connected, it can perform recording online and display data on graphs in real-time. 

RL-R17 works with VisShock software. The software complex allows the user to configure the device, manage the recordings and process the data. The software provides graph display, data analysis, and spectrum calculation capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I mount RL-R17 on the object?

You can mount RL-R17 to an object with four M5 DIN912 bolts through holes in the corners of the device.

What is included in RL-R17 delivery kit?

VisShock software CD, user manual, USB-cable, mounting bolt set, LiSOCl batteries (5 pcs).

Which mode is better for logistic damage monitoring?

The best mode for this purpose is the shock-event recording mode. In this mode, the device only saves relevant information to the embedded memory. All accelerations below the defined trigger level will be ignored. RL-R17 blinks red when the shock is above the trigger level for visual control.

Which mode is better for research and development purposes?

The best mode for this purpose is continuous recording, when all recorded data is stored in the memory.
