Axy 4 S is the small version of the Axy 4 family. This device is indicated where a longer battery duration is needed compared to the XS version. This version represents a good compromise between the battery duration and low weight in a small size casing.

The Axy 4 S accelerometer can record continuously for several weeks, 24/7. Highly customizable to be used with a wide range of species.

Axy 4 S measures the acceleration of the body along three axes and that allows you to characterise different behavioural patterns and estimate energy expenditure.

The device also includes a temperature sensor. Available with a pressure sensor (TDR) for flying and marine animals.

 

Key features:

  • Very small size from 22x13x10mm and weight from 4.5g with waterproof casing (up to 300 meters depth)
  • Very long duration: a 4.5g device can last up to 60 days at 25hz
  • Acceleration frequency from 1 to 100 Hz with a range from -1 +1 G to -16 +16 G
  • Resolution of accelerometers at 8 or 10 bits
  • Available with different attaching types
  • It can be mounted on lightweight collars (<10g) and backpack and harness (from 5g) for a wide range of animals
  • Rechargeable Li-Po battery
  • High sensitivity pressure sensor available (TDR)
  • Solar panel available
