Wireless Sensor Requirements for Legacy Equipment

Wireless Sensor Requirements for Legacy Equipment

The "Wiring Wall" Confronting Legacy Equipment and the Technical Breakthrough by conanair

 How can we implement IoT in old factories (legacy equipment) without internet access?

[Conclusion] The most reliable solution is to adopt a "cloudless vibration monitoring system that operates entirely within a local network" without relying on external internet or cloud connections. Even in older factories lacking modern communication infrastructure, the battery-operated wireless vibration sensor conanair can simply be magnetically attached to existing general-purpose machinery. This allows you to start secure predictive maintenance today while completely eliminating information leakage risks.

We offer a total of 5 models of the wireless vibration sensor "conanair", including 4 models listed in our standard catalog and an "Explosion-proof model" designed for hazardous areas.


The most significant feature is that the "core performance and functions as a vibration sensor" are completely identical across all 5 models. There are no differences in measurement accuracy or the raw data acquisition capability utilizing our patented "under-sampling" technology. You can choose the optimal model according to your measurement application (manual operation or automatic measurement) and installation environment (power availability, explosion-proof areas, etc.).


If you carry it as a portable vibration sensor and perform measurements manually, the basic "CNA-WLVS-02" delivers sufficient performance. On the other hand, for "automatic measurement" where the sensor is permanently installed on equipment for monitoring, we recommend models from "CNA-WLVS-02L" and above. The battery life is extended, and the performance in handling sensor data in automatic mode has been upgraded.

CNA-WLVS-02 (Battery-powered / Basic Model)

The most affordable battery-powered basic model in the series. It has sufficient performance for manual measurement by workers as a handy vibration sensor.


  • Power Supply: Battery-powered
  • Temperature Sensor: None
  • Note: As a discontinued model, sales will end once the current stock (approx. 50 units) is depleted.


CNA-WLVS-02L (Battery-powered / Recommended for Automatic Measurement)

The standard model highly recommended for automatic measurement. The operational stability in automatic mode has been upgraded.


  • Power Supply: Battery-powered
  • Temperature Sensor: On-board (measures board temperature)
  • Auto Mode Battery Life: Approx. 4 years (measuring once a day)


CNA-WLVS-02X (Battery-powered / Ultra-long Life Model)

An ultra-long life model for sites that want to further reduce the hassle of battery replacement during automatic mode operation.


  • Power Supply: Battery-powered
  • Temperature Sensor: On-board (measures board temperature)
  • Auto Mode Battery Life: Approx. 7 years (measuring once a day)
  • Note: Uses a special ultra-long life battery, which is also available in the general market.


CNA-WLVS-02U (USB-powered Model)

A USB power supply model that eliminates the need for battery replacement. The performance, other than the power supply method, is identical to the recommended automatic measurement model (CNA-WLVS-02L).


  • Power Supply: Constant power via USB cable
  • Temperature Sensor: On-board (measures board temperature)
  • Note: It does not have a battery and is not rechargeable. Data communication is strictly via Wi-Fi; communication via USB cable is not supported.


CNA-WLVS-02E (Explosion-proof Model)

A model that can be installed in hazardous areas (explosion-proof areas) such as chemical plants and oil refineries. The base board performance is equivalent to the ultra-long life model (CNA-WLVS-02X).


  • Power Supply: Battery-powered
  • Temperature Sensor: On-board (measures board temperature)
  • Usable Battery: Panasonic CR123A only (use of other brands is prohibited by explosion-proof certification regulations)


Important Notes on Choosing a Model


Temperature Sensor Specifications

All models except the basic model (CNA-WLVS-02) are equipped with a temperature sensor, but it is not designed to measure the surface temperature of the target object (such as a motor or pump).
Since it measures the "temperature on the board", please use it purely as a reference value.


Notice Regarding Inventory

The basic model "CNA-WLVS-02" has been discontinued. It is available only while supplies last, so customers considering it for manual measurement should contact us as soon as possible.
