Spider-20

Spider-20 is a compact yet powerful dynamic signal analyzer and digital data recorder. It provides four 24-bit precise high-fidelity input channels, and a unique software-selectable tachometer-input/signal-source output channel (all using conventional BNC connectors). Each input is individually programmable to accept AC or DC voltage or output from an IEPE (ICP) sensor with built-in electronics.

Spider-20 is a diminutive 5.3 x 4.3 x 1-inch tool weighing only 18 ounces. It has only three push-button controls and five LED status indicators. This little powerhouse can run over 6 hours on its internal rechargeable battery which can be replaced in field with a backup battery. It can also record data on its built-in 4GB flash memory at the simple push of a button.

Spider-20 communicates with the world through its built-in Wi-Fi interface. Use your iPad to setup and view or record time histories as well as perform spectrum analysis or measure Frequency Response and Coherence functions. Link the Spider-20 to your laptop or tablet running Windows and enjoy the full repertoire of functionality provided by our EDM (Engineering Data Management) software including 1/nth Octave acoustic functions, Order Tracking for rotating machinery, Shock Response Spectra for drop testing, or Digital Filtering for special purpose analysis.

 

A secondary version, Spider-20E, replaces Wi-Fi with a wired Ethernet connection. The device has the same form factor as the standard wireless version. Transfer measured data to truly massive storage space using the EDM Cloud server. EDM can be used to program your Spider-20 to perform a custom measurement or measurement sequence at the touch of its START button, making it an unintimidating and user-friendly tool. No computer, tablet or phone is required; just use your thumb and your Spider-20 operating in Black Box mode. Use our flexible Automated Schedule and Limiting software to turn this Spider into an intelligent unattended monitor capable of responding to data conditions or networked instructions, notifying you of significant conditions via e-mail.
