FDS0202-01
Shock Detection Sensor
The Shock Detection Sensor from Fidar Electronics detects horizontal and vertical impacts on a machine or structure and timestamps every event. It connects to a FIDAQUIRE data logger over a daisy-chained CANopen bus.
Detects shock on both horizontal and vertical axes
Timestamps every event for later review
Tamper alerting for physical security
RJ45 output on a CANopen bus
Daisy-chains up to 64 sensors per card
Works with the FBC0232-01 card and FIDAQUIRE logger
Up to 500 m of bus at 125 kbit/s
Power and data share one cable
A shock sensor detects horizontal and vertical impacts on a machine or structure and records exactly when they happened. It has two jobs: security — tamper attempts, blows to a cabinet door, someone trying to force equipment open — and engineering, logging transit shocks or abnormal machine vibration that marks the start of mechanical failure. The value of a timestamped record is that the event stays accountable afterwards: you know when the impact happened and can tie it to a shift, a shipment or a repair.

Where it is used
Tamper and impact alerts on cabinets and equipment panels
Physical protection of server racks and telecom equipment

Installation
Bolt it firmly to the structure being watched — a loose surface or a soft mount destroys its sensitivity.
