Which Hexanode do I have?

There are two generations of SiteHive Hexanode devices in use on sites: current devices (which we call Next-gen) and original devices. They have different form factors but are installed and set up the same way on site.

SiteHive Hexanode devices (Next-gen)

The current set of SiteHive Hexanode devices deployed to sites.

The four Next-gen SiteHive Hexanode devices side by side: Noise+Dust (tall hexagonal body with a spherical black foam windshield on top), Noise (spherical windshield on a shorter body), Dust (flat-topped hexagonal column with no windshield), and Vibration (compact hexagonal puck that mounts flat against a surface).

There are four types of devices:

  • Noise+Dust — combines the Noise and Dust capabilities in one device. The tallest device: a spherical foam windshield on top, with the dust module in the body below.

  • Noise — noise monitoring. A spherical foam windshield on a shorter hexagonal body.

  • Dust — dust monitoring. A flat-topped hexagonal column with no windshield.

  • Vibration — vibration monitoring. A compact hexagonal puck that mounts directly onto the structure being measured.

Original devices

Sites may have a combination of current (Next-gen) devices and original devices.

The three original SiteHive Hexanode devices: the compact hexagonal Vibration puck, and the column-style Noise and Noise+Dust devices with large round weather caps on top.

There are three types of original devices:

  • Noise+Dust

  • Noise

  • Vibration
