Technical specifications

Product			Vibe sensor
Version			2.2 (April 2022)
Sensing parameter			low-frequency vibration (eg. human movements)
Sensing method			piezo-electric
Bandwidth			1 to 15 Hz
Operating temperature			-40 to 45 °C (-40 to 158 °F)
Power supply			1.8 to 5.25 V DC, 1 mA at 5 V
Dimensions			70 x 20 x 8.0 mm (2.8 x 0.80 x 0.32 inch)
Mounting		four 3.0 mm (0.12 inch) mounting holes spaced 14 mm (0.55 inch) apart width-wise and 21 mm (0.83 inch) apart length-wise
Cable		1.0 m (39 inch), shielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, white wire = sensor output, extendable at least 100 m (328 ft) with ExtendCableD-10
Connector			male 1x4 plug with a row of 3 pins spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
Weight			13 g (0.46 oz), incl. cable
Software support			Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor.
Application notes			Use the dip switch to change the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. High (15.9 Hz): dip switch is set towards cable, away from the piezo element (default). Low (0.157Hz): dip switch is set away from cable, towards the piezo element. To increase responsiveness, add a mass (eg a small hex-nut) to the end using a small wire or twist tie.
