Axy 4 XS is the smallest and most efficient Accelerometer datalogger in the market. The small size of the Axy 4 XS Accelerometer makes it suitable for applications where weight and dimensions are critical.

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

Axy 4 XS 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; up to 300 meters) for flying and marine animals.

 

Key features:

  • Extremely small size from 15x10x4mm and weight from 1.7g with splash-proofing
  • Very long duration: a 2g device can last up to 20 days at 25hz
  • Acceleration frequency from 1 to 100 Hz with a range from 1 to 8G
  • Resolution of accelerometer at 8 or 10 bits
  • Available with a customizable waterproof casing
  • Can be mounted on lightweight collars (<5g), backpacks and harness (from 2.0g) for small and medium-sized animals
  • Rechargeable Li-Po battery
  • High sensitivity pressure sensor available (TDR)
  • Solar panel available

 

** All our devices come with Software and data cable for communication included in the price

*** Al our products have a warranty of 2 years against production issues

Axy 4 S

Axy 4 S is the small version of the Axy 4 family. This accelerometer 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.    

AGM

AGM is a miniaturized tri-axial accelerometer datalogger with magnetometer, gyroscope and temperature sensor. Accelerometer measures the acceleration of the body along with three directions and allows you to characterise different behavioural patterns or calculate energy expenditure. The magnetometer and gyroscope allow researchers to collect information about the orientation and movement direction of the study animal at high frequency.
