Shock300

The MadgeTech Shock300 is a 3-axis shock / acceleration data logger. Each of the three channels may be made active or

inactive as needed. Disabling channels will provide additional storage to the enabled channels.

The Shock300 is specifically designed for documenting dynamic environments such as moving vehicles, trucks,

containers, ships, etc. The device is also valuable in characterizing environments such as production and assembly lines of

delicate electronics, IC fabrication, communications and computer components.

The Shock300 contains two separate accelerometers to provide high sensitivity and accuracy up to 15g or higher levels

of shock monitoring up to 300g. One of three operating ranges must be chosen during setup for a logging session. Those

ranges are +/- 15g (low g accelerometer), +/- 100g and +/- 300g (high g accelerometer).

Physical Mounting

The most accurate transfer of shock, vibration and acceleration to the final logged data will occur when the mounting is

mechanically rigid. Typically, this would occur when the Shock300 is

mounted by two bolts directly to a solid metal, flat surfaced object of

significant mass.

For various applications, the rigid “bolted down” mounting may not be

optimal or practical. The bottom surface of the Shock300 is precision

machined flat. It is possible to mount the unit by the use of a double-

sided adhesive material. MadgeTech does not make recommendations

of specific materials but several points to consider are:

• Adhesive joint should be as thin as possible

• Adhesive joint must have adequate strength to support the unit under conditions expected in use (temperature,

shock, vibration, etc.)

• Adhesive joint material should be as stiff as possible (high durometer)

The stiffness of the mounting material will affect the transfer of shock or vibration to the Shock300. A soft material will

have a tendency to reduce the transfer of high frequencies while a hard material would, in varying degrees, come closer to

the fidelity of signal that a bolted down mount would provide.

Orientation of Axes

The illustration to the right shows the directions of the x, y and z

axes. They are also laser engraved on the front face of the unit.

If an Shock300 is positioned so that any axis points upward,

that axis will report a g force of +1 g.

Shock300

DEVICE OPERATION

Logging Mode - Peak vs. Instantaneous

When Custom Start is selected in the MadgeTech 4 Software, the user is presented with a range of logging time intervals or

actual recording rates (sampling rates). For all but the two highest recording rates, the user will also have a choice of Peak

vs. Instantaneous capture.

PEAK INSTANTANEOUS

Regardless of the logging interval, the accelerometers will

internally sample at 512Hz. At the logging interval (for example,

30 seconds), the Peak value found in the previous logging

interval is stored.

The red markers show the peak value for the interval which will

be stored.

The accelerometers will only sample data at the logging rate. For

instance, if a 30 second logging rate was selected, then only a

single data point is captured at each 30 second instant.

The potential to lose valuable data can be seen. This, of course,

is very dependent on the applied shock duration and wave

shape. It’s possible for a significant shock event to occur and not

even be visible in the data for the Instantaneous mode.

1. Connect the logger to the interface cable.

2. Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list.

3. Click Custom Start.

4. Choose the Start method—Now or Delay (select date

and time).

5. Choose the Stop method—Manual or Automatic (select

date and time).

6. Select the Reading interval.

7. Select the Shock recording mode (if applicable)—

Instantaneous or Peak

NOTE: When switching USB connections from a PC, laptop or power adapter, users can expect a 2 minute delay.

DEVICE OPERATION

Trigger Mode and Post Trigger Storage

The Shock300 allows the user to enter a shock value which

will trigger the storage of data. In general, consider the use

of a trigger as primarily a means of saving storage space by

saving only data which is above a certain value.

To change a trigger in the MadgeTech 4 Software:

1. Click Properties or right click the device in the

Connected Devices list.

2. Click to enable/disable triggers for the X, Y and Z axis

and set trigger points. Trigger setpoints are absolute

values.

3. You may also choose between filling all of memory

after a trigger or storing only a fixed number of samples

after a trigger.

For example, if the option to fill memory is selected, then

after the first trigger, all of available memory will be filled at

the selected logging rate. This will consume the remainder

of available storage space for the selected channel.

If instead, a value of 100 is entered for “trigger sample

count”, then a total of 100 data points will be stored once

a trigger occurs. These 100 samples are acquired at the

selected logging rate.

The trigger sample count should be chosen carefully

because it may gather data points for which we have no

interest. For instance, if 100 were entered and the logging

rate were 30 seconds, then 100 data points would be

gathered over a 3,000 second interval. There may be very

little relevant information to a shock event which triggered

the logging process.

While the use of a trigger has a significant effect on data

storage, it has virtually no impact on battery life.

Battery Life

The Shock300 battery life is highly dependent on the

mode of operation which has been selected for the

device. Referring to the Peak and Instantaneous mode

discussion, along with the Trigger discussion, the

following table presents typical battery life, all at 25 °C,

for various applications of the product. At 0 °C, life will be

approximately 30% less. At 60 °C, a slight improvement

may be seen but is generally masked by increased self-

discharge of the battery.

DEVICE OPERATION

Storage and Data Transfer

The Shock300 contains 8 Megabytes of storage space. This

space provides for over 1,397,418 data points for each

channel, with all three channels active.

If fewer channels are used, the active channels recover

and utilize the unused storage space.

The following table present several examples of storage

capacity, measured in days, for various applications of

the product.

Battery Charging and Care

The Shock300 battery does not require any periodic

maintenance. It should be charged as needed. If the

unit will not be used for a while, leaving the battery in a

50% state of charge is considered beneficial to battery

longevity. Using the MadgeTech provided charger is

recommended to maintain charging time.

The battery is a Lithium Ion two cell pack. Please note

the safe handling and storage recommendations in the

specifications section.

Inspection

The Shock300 may be inspected visually for any signs of

damage, especially to the gray gasket or to the USB jack. If

damage is found, visit madgetech.com to return the unit

to MadgeTech for repair.

Recalibration

Recalibration is recommended annually. To send devices

back for calibration, visit madgetech.com.

1. In many cases, the storage space exceeds the battery

capacity. In such cases, external power would need to

be provided to the Shock300.

2. When logging at a sampling rate (not time) of 128Hz,

for example, only 2.84 hours of storage is available

without using triggered operation. If trigger is enabled,

all storage space is available and is only used for the

duration of the triggered shock events, plus a post-

event buffer which is user programmable.
