Industrial node 6 ex vibration & temperature sensor

Atex-certified wireless vibration and temperature sensor for predictive maintenance in potentially explosive atmospheres.


Key features

  • ATEX certified for hazardous areas
  • Triaxial vibration measurement up to 6.3 kHz
  • High resolution waveform with 100k+ samples
  • Integrated 3-axis accelerometer and temperature sensor
  • Edge processing with FFT and vibration KPIs
  • Battery powered, wireless, no wiring needed

Wireless vibration and temperature sensor measurement solution

The industrial node 6 ex delivers accurate vibration and temperature measurements to identify abnormal machine behavior in explosive atmospheres. With a frequency range up to 6.3 kHz and 26.7 kHz sampling rate, it ensures high-resolution condition monitoring and supports root-cause analysis. Onboard edge processing calculates KPIs like RMS, PEAK, kurtosis, and crest factor, while FFT analysis enables advanced diagnostics.

Usage conditions

The sensor is designed for hazardous areas with ATEX II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 certification, suitable for zone 1 and 2. It operates from -40 °C to +60 °C in explosive environments and up to +85 °C in non-hazardous zones. Its IP68 stainless steel housing ensures robust operation under dust, moisture, and vibration. Powered by a lithium thionyl chloride battery, the device runs autonomously for up to 3 years.

Possible applications

  • Predictive maintenance in ATEX zones
  • Monitoring of pumps, compressors, and motors in explosive atmospheres
  • Detection of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear
  • Integration into IIoT platforms for asset management in hazardous industries
  • Condition monitoring for oil, gas, chemical and mining environments

Advantages of choosing this product

By combining ATEX certification with high-resolution vibration sensing, the industrial node 6 ex allows safe and reliable monitoring in environments where traditional sensors are not suitable. Wireless operation and multiple mounting options ensure easy installation and seamless integration into industrial IoT ecosystems.

Other important features

  • Configurable data acquisition, filtering, and decimation
  • Pre-calculated vibration parameters for quick evaluation
  • FFT resolution of 1 Hz/bin with 1600 lines of detail
  • Multiple mounting methods: bolt, nut, magnetic or glue adapter
  • Certifications: CE, FCC, ISED, BIS, ATEX II 2 G
