Recovib TINY
The smallest wireless shock & vibration recorder on the market
The RECOVIB Tiny is a 3-axis shock and vibration recorder. No cable, no wifi, no acquisition box: it stores the measured values on board and is configured in seconds through its USB port with the free Recovib Suite software or the dedicated app. Several units can record simultaneously in a synchronised way, which makes modal analyses and operational deflection shape analyses possible on large structures such as bridges or walkways. The range covers two models, the Tiny and the new Tiny S2.

How does it work?
The Tiny is a vibration recorder that stores the measured values on board, so no communication, no wifi and no cable. It is extremely practical for a vibration diagnosis and its way of working provides substantial time savings in the performance of your measurements.
The Tiny's internal clock is synchronised to the time of the device that programs the measurement.
Several sensors can be programmed for the same time slot. In that case the recorders are synchronised with each other for multi-point measurement.
The quality of the synchronisation depends on the model. See the model comparison for the exact offset and drift figures.
- 1
Connect & configure
Plug the recorder on USB and set up your campaign in seconds with Recovib Suite or the Tiny app.
- 2
Deploy on-site (wireless measurement)
Place the recorder on the structure or machine. No cable, no wifi, no acquisition box.
- 3
Reconnect after measurement
Back at the desk, the recorder is recognised by the PC as an external storage device.

Tiny S2
The new generation: four times the bandwidth, four times the autonomy, three recording modes and a USB-C download of a full 24-hour campaign in under five minutes.
Specifications
| Measuring ranges | ± 4/8/16 g (software selectable) |
|---|---|
| Useful bandwidth | DC to 1 000 Hz |
| Sampling frequency | 100 Hz / 500 Hz / 1 kHz / 2 kHz / 4 kHz |
| Recording modes | Continuous, periodic, trigger, manual |
| Autonomy | 24 h continuous, up to 14 days in periodic mode |
Typical applications
- High-frequency diagnosis on bearings, gearboxes and rotating machines
- Long-duration campaigns in periodic mode on hard-to-reach assets
- Intermittent events captured in trigger mode with pre-trigger
- Multi-sensor modal analysis with millisecond synchronisation
Recording modes
The Tiny records continuously, while the Tiny S2 adds periodic sampling, threshold triggering and a magnet-driven manual start/stop.
Continuous mode
Uninterrupted acquisition from the start. Ideal for modal analyses and short high-resolution campaigns.
Periodic mode
Recording windows alternating with sleep phases, extending the autonomy up to 14 days for long-duration monitoring.
Trigger mode
The recorder stays armed and only records when a vibration threshold is exceeded. Captures significant events only, with pre-trigger.
Manual mode
Recording is started and stopped by hand: a stick fitted with a magnet at its tip acts as a start/stop button as soon as it is detected on the dedicated surface of the sensor. Handy for operator-driven measurement sequences in the field.

Recovib Tiny App
The free dedicated app to configure the Tiny and start a recording directly from your smartphone, available on Google Play.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Tiny and the Tiny S2 before your next measurement campaign.
The Tiny 200g recorder (or, depending on the shock, the 15g also) suits for this kind of application, we already have had several cases like that.
However, you must consider that, due to its bandwidth (0-250Hz), it will not be able to detect the shocks if these ones are shorter than 4ms, else these shocks will be lowered by the low pass filter at 250Hz.
In case of shocks < 4ms, there is another possibility with a wired accelerometer (higher bandwidth) but it's more complicated to implement (needs of a wired DAQ).
