TE Connectivity's Measurement Specialties 8911 Wireless Accelerometer, available now from Mouser, provides a broad bandwidth to >10kHz, 3.5V supply voltage, and -20C to +60C operating temperature range. The series combines a sensor, digital signal processor, data collector, and radio into a compact device that measures both vibration and temperature data. This accelerometer uses the LoRaWAN communication protocol, offering a simple, dependable, and secure means of expanding condition-based maintenance into plant areas where the cost to install wired systems is limited. The device is ideal for remote condition monitoring and designed for harsh environments.

The device features a compact design with low power consumption and up to year-year battery life. Supplied in a corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel, and polymer housing, the device offers exceptional long-term stability.


The device includes remote condition monitoring, reduced installation costs – no cables, designed for harsh environments. The solution provides cost-effective monitoring for large plants, with secure and interference-free transmission.
