Page 7: Introduction
At scheduled communication. 1.2. INFRA Point Vibration System The INFRA Point unit is a data logger with one vibration sensor attached by cable. The sensor can either be a single-axis type measuring in vertical direction, or a triaxial type. The triaxial sensor is measuring in three directions: vertical, longitudinal and transverse. -
Page 8: Infra Point Enclosure
Data logger 1.3.1. INFRA Point data logger is built in a Peli™ case, which is extremely robust and tough, and has a Gore-Tex membrane, pressure-equalizing vent to keep the inside dry. This vent is waterproof even if the case is completely submerged. -
Page 9: Unpacking And Parts Identification
Any damage or omission should be reported immediately to Sigicom. Keep record of the instrument’s serial number. You will be asked to give this number in any INFRA Point related communication you may have with Sigicom. Copyright © Sigicom AB 2021... -

Page 19: Measuring Parts
Digital Signal Processing The main processor of the INFRA Point data logger is a combined general processor and a digital signal processor (DSP). The DSP part of the processor filters, compensates and detects the signals according to the selected measurement standard Copyright ©... -
Page 20: Measuring Logic
Appendix F. Interval Measurements 3.2.2. INFRA Point processes the vibration signal through the filters and detectors of the selected measurement standard. The interval value is the maximum value of the processed signal within a selected interval time. When the interval end time is reached, the maximum value is saved, and a new interval is started. -
Page 21: Transient Recording
Similarly, if analog or digital overload occurs in one or more samples during recording of a transient, the corresponding transient will be tagged with an overload flag. In this way INFRA Net can indicate possible overload in its interval and transient data reports. Copyright © Sigicom AB 2021... -
Page 22: Data Storage
GPS Receiver 3.4.2. The INFRA Point data logger is equipped with a GPS (GNSS) receiver to locate the position of the unit and is activated after the start of monitoring. The position data will be communicated to INFRA Net. For further information see section 6.2. -

Page 27: Sensor Test
If the instrument is recording when monitoring off is selected, the recording will be completed before monitoring is stopped. Once monitoring is stopped, the instrument will communicate to INFRA Net and update the instrument’s new status and data. Copyright © Sigicom AB 2021... -
Page 28: Infra Net Communication
During INFRA Net communication, all data files on the memory card are transmitted to the INFRA Net server and automatically removed from the memory card. If there are communication problems, the INFRA Point data logger will continue to attempt to communicate with incrementally increasing time intervals between communication attempts. -
Page 29: More Communication Information
Legal info. 5.5. Power Off The INFRA Point data logger will automatically power off after a period of no activity, referred to as time-out. If an activity has taken place, e.g. a key is pressed, the time-out will be prolonged. -
