Today, we’re going to have a look at how to calibrate your BSWA sound level meter integrated in your Aeroqual unit. 1. First, lift up your unit and then press the pause button. You should see the pause icon in the corner. 2. Once you’re on pause, press menu, navigate down to calibration, and hit enter. (We’re doing this upside down because that’s the way that the cable comes out of the box.) 3. Hit play/pause to start the calibration. Next, we’ll get our microphone ready. We will need our sound level calibrator for this. Our microphone is mounted on the tripod….

This 6-part blog series explores the use of MEMS Accelerometers for vibration monitoring in construction and blasting applications, and the five most prevalent issues with these devices, as outlined in Instantel’s recent white paper, “Limitations of MEMS Accelerometers for Vibration Monitoring Systems.”  Read Instantel’s findings here. “Limitations of MEMS Accelerometers for Vibration Monitoring Systems.” Instantel’s

In the first part of this 6-blog series, we introduced Instantel’s white paper (Limitations of MEMS Accelerometers for Vibration Monitoring Systems) that presented research comparing current Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Accelerometers against traditional solenoid geophone sensors. The paper concluded that, when it comes to vibration monitoring for industrial, construction and blasting applications, data from MEMS Accelerometers

Monitoring vibrations at construction, mining and blasting sites is crucial to prevent damage to property and structures, and to comply with local, state and federal regulations. When it comes to the equipment used to measure the vibrations created by these activities, users have several options from which to choose.  Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Accelerometers While traditional

Load Sensing Demo Kit – Unboxing Today we’re going to do an unboxing of a load sensing demo kit. So we’ll start by unboxing our gateway, and this is the new 4G gateway. So pull the gateway out of the box here. The ethernet cable is pre-installed. Put that to the side there, and then let’s go through everything else we’ve got in the box here. LSG6 4G Items: A USB-C to ethernet cable. This is for local connection from the gateway to your computer. We won’t need that right now. This…

Setting up an Ultra Powermate with a Solar Panel & an Aeroqual AQS Air Quality Sensor Today we are going to be setting up an Ultra Powermate with a solar panel and an Aeroqual AQS air quality sensor: So the first thing that we’re going to do is going to make sure all of our circuit breakers are in the off, down, off position. So once those are all switched off, we’re going to take our lead for the battery cable and we’re going to hook up our battery. Always want…

Pole Mount Bracket – Fiberglass Enclosure Today, we are going to show you how to put together the pole mount bracket for our fiberglass enclosure. We’ve got all the hardware laid out here. Pan Head Screws Take the pan head screws, drop them through the outside most holes, and you want to leave the slots and U-bolt holes on the bottom so they are accessible once you actually want to put this on the bracket. Then you’re just going to tighten those up. And you want to use these nuts for attaching the…
