The W8-D40 is a wireless vibration recorder with additional environmental sensors. It uploads directly to the enDAQ cloud over WiFi after completing a recording yet this wireless connectivity can be configured to be off when desired. This model's low cost and robust aluminum enclosure makes it ideal for general purpose vibration testing in harsh environments. The W8 offers an impressive 4,000 mAh battery (our largest) to allow for the longest recording times of our sensors.

Complimentary enDAQ Pelican case included with every
enDAQ® sensor order.
