SAVER™ 3D15
Field Data Recorder
Measurement Class Instrument
There are specific applications where DC recording capabilities are required to measure low frequency energy.
For instance, amusement park rides, aerospace flight applications, rail-car coupling impacts, and vehicle crash
testing all contain low frequency responses with long duration, constant acceleration time histories.
The SAVER™ 3D15 is Lansmont’s first instrument to use MEMS technology accelerometers, possessing
DC-response measurement capability. This instrument is equipped with an internal tri-axial accelerometer
capable of full-waveform recording with pre-trigger capability and 16-bit resolution.
The SAVER™ 3D15 is powered with user replaceable 9V lithium (or alkaline) batteries and provides continuous operation in the field
for up to 15 days. The instrument samples continuously and records data to flash memory when the signal exceeds
a desired threshold. Data can also be triggered to record at user selectable wakeup intervals. This methodology
offers two virtual instruments operating concurrently within a single unit
- to provide both signal triggered
and timer triggered events. Signal triggered events focus on times of activity
(i.e. the times when things are happening)
and the timer triggered events provide a framework to interpret the overall data set.
The SAVER™ 3D15 saves data with timestamps, acceleration time histories, temperature,
humidity, and includes optional GPS capabilities.
SaverXware can be used to analyze this data and provide information about drop height,
impacts, vehicle motion, vibration, temperature and humidity cycles, and spatial awareness.
