Product Description
General description i-ALERT ™ Condition Monitor
Description
The i-ALERT Condition Monitor is a compact, battery-operated monitoring device that
continuously measures the vibration and temperature of the pump power end. The
condition monitor uses blinking red LEDs to alert the pump operator when the pump
exceeds pre-set vibration and temperature limits. This allows the pump operator to make
changes to the process or the pump before a catastrophic failure occurs. The condition
monitor is also equipped with a single green LED to indicate when it is operational and has
sufficient battery life.
Alarm mode
The condition monitor enters alarm mode when either vibration or temperature limits are
exceeded over two consecutive readings within a ten minute period. Alarm mode is
indicated with two red flashing LEDs within two second intervals.
