Introduction
The Endpoint (EP) is the sensor that is mounted on the machine.
The endpoint takes the machine’s vibration, temperature, and magnetic samples, communicates using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and transmits them to the Node (Gateway).
This article covers which endpoint types Augury uses and in which environments we use them.
Please contact your customer success manager to understand what endpoints are available in your region.
Endpoint Types
First, note that the environment in which the endpoint is installed can be different, such as dry, wet, hazardous, or explosive.
The EP type to use depends on the environment in which it is installed.
Endpoint markings on the Augury web platform and mobile app
Our endpoints are represented in the Augury platform as E1, E2, and so on.
You identify the EP type on the IoT information page or as an indication when an IoT / maintenance activity is required.

Glossary
- High-G machines. These are high-vibration machines with vibration levels that are usually over 16G peak to peak and require specialized sensors capable of detecting higher frequencies due to the intense motion they experience.
- Low-G machines. These are lower vibration levels, less than 16G peak to peak.
These machines can work with less robust sensors. - Hazardous (explosive) environment. The following is relevant to the US. Contact support for other regions or check out the datasheet.
- Use C1D1 and C2D1 in environments where explosive gases/vapors and powder/dust are always or occasionally present.
- ATEX - Zone 2, 22
- Wet environment. Either a humid environment or the machinery is washed down.
