MSR 165
Data Logger for shock and vibration

THE bestseller for transportation monitoring, fault diagnoses and load tests!
The robust MSR 165 data logger is capable of taking 1600 acceleration (shock,vibrations) measurements per second in all three axes for up to five years.
Shock monitoring is possible up to ± 15 g or up to ± 200 g, 32 measurement values arerecorded even before the event takes place.The rechargeable 900 mAh lithium-polymer battery allows the user to monitor shocks over a period of up to six months. Foran even longer recording period of up to five years, the MSR 165 can be equipped withlong-life batteries. The installed memory is capable of storing over 2 million measuredvalues, which is sufficient for more than 10.000 shocks. A microSD card (≥4GB) canbe used to increase the capacity of the data logger to over 1 billion measured values.
All saved measurements can be quickly transferred to a PC or laptop via the USB
interface.The basic specification of the MSR 165 includes a high resolution 3-axis
acceleration sensor. In addition you can also record temperature, humidity, pressure,light and four analogue input signals.

Measurement parameters for the additional sensors (internal and external)
In addition to 3-axis acceleration you can also simultaneously measure temperature,humidity, pressure and/or light using the MSR 165 data logger. There is a choice
between internal and external sensors for these additional measurement parameters.
The external sensors are available with cable lengths of 0.20 m, 1.0 m and 1.6 m.

Expanding the memory capacity with a microSD memory card
On request the MSR 165 can be supplied with aninterface for plugging in a standard microSD card(one ≥4 GB microSD card is included). The microSD
card increases the memory of the MSR 165 to over 1billion and can be replaced during operation. Please
note that this expansion slot with plugged-in microSDcard only meets the protection category IP60.
Additional long-term power supply
For a longer recording period of up to five years, theMSR 165 can be equipped with replaceable batteries(3.6 V, 2 x 7700 mAh, Li-SOCl2). The batteries are stored
in a splashproof cast aluminium case (122 x 92 x 70 mm,approx. 530 g).
