Overview

The Personal SHM System (pSHM) provides an accessible, permanent monitoring solution for small buildings, houses, and compact structures where budget and simplicity are key.

In summary, pSHM brings core capabilities of the Digitex Sentry System to budget-restrictive projects by combining a streamlined central unit with easy‑to‑deploy personal digital accelerometers. In addition, it maintains reliable timing, automated recording, and web access to all measurements.

Description

Designed as an entry‑level yet professional SHM platform, the Personal SHM System pairs the xPlorer Home central station with Pulse accelerometers to offer a practical balance of functionality and cost. Henceforth, the system provides continuous recording with ring‑buffer retention, event‑based capturing based on pre- and post-time, in addition to browser‑based visualization and data download.

Compared to enterprise Sentry System families (xDAS, xCAS), pSHM utilizes lower-sensitivity digital sensors with simplified environmental protection. Also, although it’s a personal SHM system, the pSHM enables a curated subset of Voyager® functions that are most relevant to residential and light‑commercial monitoring.

Structural Health Monitoring Applications

The Personal SHM System (pSHM) is suited for Structural Health Monitoring projects like:

  • Houses and low‑rise buildings
  • Small public facilities (schools, clinics, municipal buildings)
  • Light‑industrial structures and equipment rooms
  • Community or campus monitoring pilots
  • Cost‑sensitive SHM projects with basic vibration/condition monitoring insight needs

Key Features of The Personal SHM System:

  • Cost‑Optimized Architecture

    Purpose‑built for small structures and residential/light‑commercial use.

  • Permanent Installation

    Compact central unit with always‑on recording and event capture.

  • Core Voyager® Functions

    Web configuration, live charts, ring‑buffer storage, including basic reports.

  • Event Triggering

    Selected triggering mechanisms (e.g., level‑based, STA/LTA) with configurable pre/post times.

  • Time Synchronization

    DigiSync® for reliable timestamping.

  • Data Access

    Browser‑based dashboards and simple exports (e.g., CSV/MiniSEED where enabled).

  • Simplified Deployment

    Quick sensor placement, straightforward wiring, and guided personal SHM system setup.

  • Integration Path

    Optional connection to Voyager Cloud (where enabled) in order to process remote view and remote backup actions.

  • Seamless Integration

    Fully compatible with Nexus, and Vista software as part of the Digitex Sentry System.
