The Erbessd Instruments Phantom Gen 3 is a state-of-the-art wireless vibration sensor designed for permanent installation on rotating machinery in harsh industrial environments . Its compact design and robust construction allow it to withstand exposure to demanding conditions, including temperatures up to 85°C (185°F) . The sensor is fully potted in epoxy and features an IP69 protection rating, making it resistant to high-pressure washdowns and dust ingress .

The Phantom Gen 3 utilizes a high-performance MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor to measure vibration in three axes. In its high-range configuration, it offers a frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 10 kHz on the X and Y axes and 0.5 Hz to 5.1 kHz on the Z axis, with a sensing resolution of 240 μg . It also features a built-in temperature sensor for recording machine surface temperature with an accuracy of ±5°C .

Wireless communication is handled by Bluetooth BLE 5.0 protocol, operating at 2.4 GHz with a signal strength range of -90 dBm to -30 dBm. The sensor is powered by a long-life CR2477 lithium battery, making it completely self-contained and easy to deploy for continuous monitoring without complex wiring .
