WS-ACC-30 Acceleration Wave Sensor

Nine-axis IMU wave sensor calculating wave height, period, direction, energy and directional spectra in-house.

Output & Integration

RS232 RS485 Ethernet

Overview

The WaveSense WS-ACC-30 is a buoy-mounted acceleration wave sensor based on a nine-axis IMU and a Zenocean wave processing algorithm. It outputs wave height, period, direction, energy spectrum, and directional spectrum, and is designed for small to medium observation buoys, drifters, USVs, and dedicated wave buoys.

FAQ

Can Zenocean products be integrated with third-party monitoring platforms?

Yes. Many Zenocean products are offered with RS485, Modbus, NMEA, or project-specific communication options, making them suitable for integration into third-party acquisition and software environments.

Can you help recommend a sensor model based on the application?

Yes. Buyers can share the application, required parameters, output signal, environment, quantity, and installation conditions, and Zenocean can recommend suitable models or a system configuration.

Are documents available for export and project quotation?

Yes. Product catalogs, datasheets, communication guidance, and selection support can be prepared for export-oriented B2B discussions and project submissions.
