UltraShock
DEVICE OPERATION
Storage and Data Transfer
The UltraShock contains 8 Megabytes of storage space.
This space provides for 598,893 data points for each
channel, with all 6 channels active.
If fewer channels are used, the active channels recover
and utilize the unused storage space.
For instance, if only temperature were being logged, there
would be adequate storage space for around 4,000,000
data points.
The following table present several examples of storage
capacity, measured in days, for various applications of
the product.
Battery Charging and Care
The UltraShock battery does not require any periodic
maintenance. It should be charged as needed. If the
unit will not be used for a while, leaving the battery in a
50% state of charge is considered beneficial to battery
longevity. Using the MadgeTech provided charger is
recommended to maintain charging time.
The battery is a Lithium Ion two cell pack. Please note
the safe handling and storage recommendations in the
specifications section.
Inspection
The UltraShock may be inspected visually for any signs of
damage, especially to the gray gasket or to the USB jack. If
damage is found, visit
to return the unit
to MadgeTech for repair.
Recalibration
Recalibration is recommended annually. To send devices
back for calibration, visit

1. In many cases, the storage space exceeds the battery
capacity. In such cases, external power would need to
be provided to the UltraShock.
2. When logging at a sampling rate (not time) of 128Hz,
for example, only 2.84 hours of storage is available
without using triggered operation. If trigger is enabled,
all storage space is available and is only used for the
duration of the triggered shock events, plus a post-
event buffer which is user programmable.
