Axy 5 S is a compact tri-axial accelerometer designed for studies that need extended battery life while keeping size and weight low. Axy 5 S is the evolution of the Axy 4 platform and integrates a magnetometer plus fully scheduled recordings, allowing researchers to maximize battery life by recording only when needed. It records tri-axial acceleration for fine-scale behavioural classification and energy-expenditure studies. A built-in temperature sensor is included, while a high-accuracy pressure/temperature sensor (TDR) can be integrated for diving or flying species. Available with a pressure sensor (for flying and marine animals).
Axy 5 XS is the smallest member of the Axy 5 family, designed for applications where weight and size are critical. Axy 5 XS integrates a magnetometer and fully programmable recording schedules to maximize efficiency and battery life. It records tri-axial acceleration for behavioural pattern recognition and energy-expenditure estimation. A temperature sensor is included, while an optional high-accuracy pressure/temperature sensor (TDR) enables use on diving or flying animals.
