Axy 5 S is the small version of the Axy 5 family. This accelerometer is indicated where a longer battery duration is needed compared to the XS version. This version represents a good compromise between the battery duration and low weight and size of the device.
Axy 5 S is the evolution of Axy 4 with several improvements: a magnetometer it was implemented together with the possibility to fully schedule the recording sessions. Now you can prolong the battery life and record only when is needed.

Specifications
Axy 5 S is the small version of the Axy 5 family. This device is indicated where a longer battery duration is needed compared to the XS version. This version represents a good compromise between the battery duration and low weight and size of the device.
Axy 5 S is the evolution of Axy 4 with several improvements: it includes now a magnetometer and has the possibility to fully schedule the recording sessions. Now you can prolong the battery life and record only when is needed.
Axy 5 S measures the acceleration of the body along three axes and that allows you to characterize different behavioral patterns and estimate energy expenditure. The device also includes a temperature sensor and an optional pressure sensor.
The Axy 5 S accelerometer can record continuously for several weeks, 24/7 if you do not need a schedule. Highly customizable to be used with a wide range of species.
Available with a pressure sensor (for flying and marine animals).
