FAQs

The G-Link-200 is a battery-powered wireless 3-axis accelerometer. It features a rugged, weatherproof IP67-rated enclosure and provides extremely low-noise waveform data ideal for vibration monitoring, impact detection, motion analysis, and tilt measurements. The device uses the proprietary LXRS protocol for lossless wireless data transmission in scalable sensor networks.

The G-Link-200 combines several unique features: lossless LXRS protocol ensuring 100% reliable data transmission, extremely low noise density (80 µg/√Hz), weatherproof IP67 enclosure, up to 1km wireless range, microsecond time synchronization (±50 µs), and the ability to output both raw acceleration data and derived vibration parameters for extended battery life and reduced data volumes.

LXRS (Lossless eXtended Range Synchronized) is MicroStrain's proprietary wireless protocol that combines 100% reliable data transmission with microsecond time synchronization across scalable networks. Unlike standard wireless protocols, LXRS uses acknowledgments and retransmissions to ensure no data loss, while maintaining precise timing synchronization of ±50 µs across thousands of nodes.

The G-Link-200 achieves up to 1km wireless range in line-of-sight conditions using 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio. The LXRS protocol enables scalable star networks supporting many nodes on a single gateway, with automatic coordination of sampling rates and guaranteed lossless data delivery through acknowledgments and retransmissions.

The IP67 rating means the G-Link-200 is completely dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This weatherproof protection makes it suitable for outdoor installations, industrial environments, and applications where moisture, dust, or temporary submersion may occur.

The G-Link-200 features a stainless steel base with a ¼-28 UNF mounting hole for rigid attachment. Optional magnetic base mounting is available for easy temporary installation on ferrous surfaces. Proper mounting is critical for accurate vibration coupling and measurement fidelity.

The G-Link-200 supports both protocols depending on the gateway used:

LXRS: Standard protocol with -93.5 dBm sensitivity, maximum range, and 4,000 samples/s per channel maximum throughput
LXRS+: Higher-speed protocol with -86.5 dBm sensitivity, shorter range, and 16,000 samples/s per channel maximum throughput (256,000 samples/s aggregate). Users can toggle between protocols with compatible gateways based on whether range or throughput is prioritized.

The G-Link-200 supports multiple sophisticated sampling modes:

Continuous: Continuous data collection at configured sample rate
Limited: Finite number of samples over defined time period
Periodic Burst: Scheduled burst sampling at intervals
Event-Triggered: Sampling triggered by predefined acceleration threshold with configurable pre- and post-event duration

The G-Link-200 provides multiple data output options:

Raw Acceleration: X, Y, Z axis acceleration waveform data
Tilt: Static tilt measurements for inclination monitoring
Derived Parameters: Velocity RMS (IPS), Acceleration RMS, Peak-to-Peak amplitude, and Crest Factor
Temperature: Onboard temperature sensor data

The G-Link-200 excels in demanding wireless sensing applications including:

Structural Health Monitoring: Bridge, building, and infrastructure vibration monitoring
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM): Rotating machinery and equipment health monitoring
Vibration Analysis: Industrial equipment, HVAC systems, and mechanical component monitoring
Impact and Shock Testing: Drop testing, transportation monitoring, and event detection
Motion and Tilt Monitoring: Platform stability, vehicle dynamics, and inclination measurement
Amusement Ride Testing: ASTM F2137 compliant roller coaster characterization (G-Link-200-R)
Predictive Maintenance: Long-term trending and anomaly detection

Battery life varies significantly based on sampling rate, transmission frequency, and operating mode. We provide a battery life calculator tool that predicts runtime based on specific sampling settings and usage patterns. Typical configurations can achieve months to years of operation, with derived parameter modes significantly extending battery life compared to continuous raw data transmission.

The G-Link-200 significantly reduces total cost of ownership through: elimination of cable installation costs and labor, reduced installation time, ability to monitor rotating and moving machinery, minimal maintenance requirements with long battery life, scalable networks without additional wiring, and remote monitoring capabilities reducing site visits. The wireless approach often pays for itself through installation savings alone.
