Sensor & 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).
- Once everything is verified, align the connector with the guide slot on the sensor and proceed to connect the male and female connectors.
- 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.

When the "Wi-Fi Security Key" (Item H) is installed, a new Wi-Fi access point will become available with the following default SSID:
Holdstein Sensor 0C8B959642C0
Connect to this network and then open a web browser (Item M) and go to the following address (Item N): holdsteinserver.local
All available files in the sensor's memory will be displayed on the home screen (Item P). Click the "Download" button to save the file to your device or laptop, and "Delete" to permanently remove it.
Note that there is a file in the root of the memory called config.txt. This file contains the sensor's settings, including the Wi-Fi access point password, which can be changed.
To modify the config.txt file, download it first, make the necessary changes, and then upload it in the "Configuration" section. Click on "Configuration" (Item Q) and proceed with the upload
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.
