Battery-powered blast vibration monitoring

RT-2001Blast Vibration Monitoring Terminal

Battery-powered event recording for sites without external power

The RT-2001 uses a built-in 95 Ah battery and a triaxial velocity sensor to record triggered vibration events. Use direct 4G uploads, optional LoRa Mesh multi-hop transmission and Bluetooth for on-site maintenance and data retrieval.

Measurements

Three-axis velocity with original event records

Configure sampling rate and event record length for the monitoring objective, taking the sensor frequency range into account.

01

Three-axis vibration velocity

Acquire X, Y and Z velocity time histories with a 5–500 Hz measurement frequency range. Keep original records for peak velocity and dominant-frequency analysis.

02

Triggered event recording

Select 1, 2, 4 or 8 kHz sampling and a 2–10 s record length. Configure pre-trigger recording and the trigger threshold for the site.

03

Local storage and wireless transmission

Store waveforms in local NOR Flash and transmit over 4G or optional LoRa Mesh. Use the Android app via Bluetooth for on-site maintenance and data retrieval.

Benefits

Event monitoring for remote sites

01

Low-power, triggered acquisition

The terminal enters low-power mode when no event is triggered and acquires event waveforms when vibration triggers recording. A built-in 95 Ah battery removes the need for external power.

02

LoRa Mesh for cellular coverage gaps

Optional LoRa Mesh forwards event data through RT-2001 relays to an RT-2001 gateway with 4G coverage, then uploads it to the server. Suitable for tunnel coverage gaps where relay nodes can be deployed.

03

IP68 protection for outdoor deployment

Both the acquisition terminal and triaxial velocity sensor have IP68 protection. Plug-in connectors simplify connection at outdoor monitoring locations.

04

Cloud access and remote maintenance

View vibration data, waveforms and device status in the cloud. Remote parameter configuration and firmware upgrades support ongoing maintenance.

Communications & networking

4G where available. LoRa Mesh for coverage gaps.

Use direct 4G uploads at covered locations. Optional LoRa Mesh carries event data from uncovered monitoring points to a gateway with stable 4G coverage.

4G

Direct 4G upload

Each RT-2001 uploads independently to the server. Covered monitoring points do not require a shared field gateway or relay nodes.

LoRa Mesh multi-hop transmission

Optional configuration

Acquisition nodes and configured RT-2001 relays forward data hop by hop. An RT-2001 gateway then uploads the received data over 4G.

From the monitoring point to the cloudA triaxial velocity sensor connects to an RT-2001 acquisition node. Its event data travels over LoRa through relay 1 and relay 2 to an RT-2001 gateway in stable 4G coverage. The gateway uploads the data over 4G to the server and monitoring platform.No cellular coverage · e.g. inside a tunnelStable 4G coverageServer & platformLoRaLoRaLoRa4GRT-2001Acquisition nodeRecords triggered eventsRT-2001Relay 1Forwards to the next nodeRT-2001Relay 2Forwards to the gatewayRT-2001Gateway nodeReceives Mesh dataMonitoring cloud platformWaveforms · events · device statusTriaxial velocity sensorArrows show the direction of data transmission

Confirm the complete path on site

Confirm the optional Mesh configuration, firmware and node roles. Validate relay placement, hop count, transmission range, concurrent events and end-to-end delivery time under actual site conditions.

Bluetooth for on-site maintenance

Use the Android app nearby to configure the terminal, view waveforms and retrieve stored records. Sync downloaded data when the phone is online. This provides local access and record retrieval alongside the remote transmission path.

Data & reports

Review each blast event and prepare monitoring reports

The Safety Monitoring & Early Warning Cloud Platform brings event data and report preparation into one workflow.

01

Three-axis waveforms and frequency spectra

Review blast events by monitoring point, with PPV, dominant frequency, three-axis velocity waveforms and FFT amplitude spectra. Compare signals across all three directions.

Frequently asked questions

Does the system need external power?

No. The built-in 95 Ah battery powers the system at monitoring locations without an external supply.

How do monitoring points upload without 4G coverage?

Optional LoRa Mesh forwards data through configured RT-2001 relays to an RT-2001 gateway with stable 4G coverage, which uploads to the server. The Android app provides nearby Bluetooth maintenance and local record retrieval; downloaded data can be synchronized when the phone is online.

Is LoRa included with every unit?

LoRa Mesh is optional. Confirm acquisition, relay and gateway roles against the delivered configuration and firmware. The gateway requires stable 4G coverage.

How are Mesh range, hop count and delivery time determined?

Determine relay locations and hop count through site testing, considering obstructions, bends and node placement. Validate the complete path from event triggering to platform reception, including record integrity and delivery time when multiple points trigger together.

Does it continuously upload waveforms all day?

Recording is event-triggered. Select 1, 2, 4 or 8 kHz sampling, a 2–10 s record length (default 3 s) and a 0–0.25 s pre-trigger duration. Sampling rate, measurement frequency range and record length are separate parameters to configure for the monitoring objective.

How are the terminal and sensor installed?

The terminal supports bracket or band-clamp mounting. The sensor can be mounted at a tunnel crown, on a wall or on the ground. Follow its direction marks and leveling requirements, secure it in place and connect the sensor cable to the terminal.
