The xWave Max is the flagship standalone digital acquisition unit in the Digitex Sentry System portfolio. That’s why it’s ideal for structural health monitoring applications where a single, self-sufficient unit is required. All in all, with integrated sensors, advanced ADCs, internal storage, display, alarming, and versatile connectivity, xWave Max delivers professional‑grade performance in one compact device.
Digitex built it on the xWave platform, and that’s why the xWave Max combines the functionality of multiple Sentry System devices into one powerful standalone solution. Additionally, it supports accelerometers, strain gauges, geophones, inclinometers, and environmental inputs, offering unmatched flexibility.
Furthermore, users can configure xWave Max with the sensing options they require, including combinations of vibration, strain, tilt, and weather monitoring, as well as alarming capabilities. Additionally, its rugged aluminum enclosure with IP67 protection ensures reliable operation even in the harshest environments.
Lastly, the xWave Max offers an internal memory, event triggering, SMS/email/relay alarms, in addition to the optional cloud integration. Simply put, the xWave Max is a comprehensive Structural Health Monitoring and condition monitoring powerhouse.
