Everything users need to know about powering up the sensor.
The power supply should be provided through the specific power cable for each sensor.
This connector features industrial standardization and IP-67 Ingress Protection.
The cable must be purchased separately, and the required cable length should be specified by the customer.
K - Industrial Grade Connector IP67
L - Electrical Cable
Learn the location of the essential hardware features on the Sensor (1st generation).
A - Wi-Fi Activator Key Slot
B - SnapBase® Locking Recess
C - Green LED for Power Indication
D - Power Connector (IP67 Grade)
E - Blue LED for Data Acquisition
F - Capacitive Power Switch
G - Top Label with User Guide QR-Code and the Axis Indicator
If there are any special specifications for the cable, they must be indicated by the customer for approval by Holdstein Solutions Engineering Team.
A) Sensor
B) Power cable connected to a 5VDC, ±3A
- Take the sensor and check for any obstructions or dirt inside the connector (Item D).
- Take the cable with the connector (Items K and L) and perform the same check for obstructions and dirt on the terminals. (Ensure that the power is off during the connector assembly).
- Align the connector with the guide slot on the sensor and proceed to connect.
- Power the cable so that the green LED (Item C) lights up. - Once lit, it indicates that the sensor has initialized but is not yet in data acquisition mode.
Once the sensor is powered, locate the on/off button (Item F).
For your information, this button does not move.
It is a capacitive touch button, meaning you only need to touch it for about 3 seconds to change the current state of the sensor. If the sensor is in standby mode, after touching the button for 3 seconds, the sensor will switch to data acquisition mode and vice versa.

In data acquisition mode, the sensor captures vibration and shock data in a triaxial manner, creating an unfiltered acceleration log on the three axes (X, Y, and Z).
The sensor’s sampling rate is indicated on its bottom label and represents the frequency at which data is collected. The internal memory of the sensor is also presented on this same label and represents the available space for data recording. This sensor has the capacity to store billions of data points.
Refer to this link to learn more about the capacity of each internal memory and its advantages.
To access the stored data, you will need to install the "Wi-Fi Security Key" (Item H), which enables the sensor's Wi-Fi access point. The SSID and password information can be found on the sensor's bottom label.
Each sensor has a unique Wi-Fi network that can only be accessed with the security key. Each sensor comes with one key. If you lose or need another key, you can request one through this link.
Once the key is properly connected to the sensor, with the texts aligned between the sensor and the key, connect to the sensor's Wi-Fi network using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
The default password is 12345678 and can be changed in the config.txt file located in the root of the sensor's internal memory.
Remember to observe the Wi-Fi network access permissions of the respective operating systems used. Permissions for each operating system are not covered in this tutorial.
Once you have completed downloading all log files and making the necessary changes to the sensor, remove the key (Item H) and continue using the sensor to acquire data.
