Shocklog 298 - Electronic transport monitoring for the highest demands
Do you want to know what happens to your goods during transportation and storage until they are sold? ShockLog 298 data loggers are used to identify the cause of damage and to clarify recourse issues in cooperation with insurers.
Or to optimize transport routes and packaging so that well thought-out damage prevention can be achieved within the logistics chain. ShockLog data loggers are the first choice for these requirements.
The ShockLog 298 with various equipment variants belongs to the latest generation of SpotSee data loggers. The ShockLog 298 detects critical events during the transportation, storage or use of sensitive products. Shocks, vibrations and environmental influences such as temperature, humidity and air pressure can cause considerable damage. The determination of certain values and the possible identification of the cause are the first promising measures to reduce transport damage and the associated costs. The preventive use of the ShockLog 298 devices to limit risk and avoid damage is the main focus of the application.
The ShockLog 298 is available as a basic model and in 4 equipment variants. By using the different device variants, e.g. with the internal Tilt & Roll unit for measuring tilt angles during sea transportation or the internal GPS module, the ShockLog 298 can be used to record a lot of relevant data for the safety of your transported goods.

Perfect installation using "bolts and buffers"
Where conditions permit and the cargo allows the ShockLog 298 to be mounted using drill holes, we recommend the use of "bolts and buffers".
These special screw-in inserts function essentially like a dowel, whilst simultaneously ensuring that the ShockLog has minimal contact with bare metal or steel frames. The primary purpose of the "Buffer" screw-in elements is to absorb and reduce high impact vibrations across steel or metal surfaces; these vibrations are thus not transferred to the ShockLog, are not relevant to the load, and do not usually lead to impact damage caused by incorrect handling of the cargo. This ensures that only those shock impacts that are truly critical to the goods being transported are accurately recorded.
If it is not possible to make structural alterations to the transport object by drilling, it can be attached using strong double-sided adhesive tape (military-grade tape) or other customised fastening methods.
General installation instructions:
We recommend attaching the ShockLog 298 data logger to the object being monitored itself wherever possible, rather than to the floor of the crate, container or trailer, etc.
This allows for the most precise measurement of shock impacts on components directly at risk within the transport object.
Exception: Where the specific aim is to determine the shock impacts on the means of transport itself.
ShockLog warning sticker and correct installation of the ShockLog 298
ShockLog warning sticker:
To clearly identify the presence of electronic transport monitoring and inform the carrier, we recommend affixing the ShockLog warning sticker (DIN A4 format) to the outer packaging of the goods being transported.
The psychological effect of this information ensures that your goods are handled correctly throughout the entire transport process.
The warning sticker indicates the presence of electronic transport monitoring inside the packaging in two languages: German and English.
Please note the following instructions when applying the sticker:
When installing the ShockLog 298, ensure precise axial alignment at all times. It must not be mounted on sloping surfaces or inclined planes, as this will alter the sensor sensitivities.
Standard mounting:
z-axis for vertical impacts
x-axis for horizontal impacts in the direction of travel
y-axis for horizontal impacts from the right or left
Photographic documentation of the installation is strongly recommended so that the recorded impact values can subsequently be matched to the specific axial movements.
