Activate the i-ALERT ™ Condition Monitor
WARNING:
Never heat the condition monitor to temperatures in excess of 300°F (149°C). Heating to
these temperatures could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Always wear protective gloves. The pump and condition monitor can be hot.
NOTICE:
Do not use the condition monitor in atmospheres containing acetic acid.
The condition monitor is ready for activation when the pump is running and has reached a
steady flow, pressure, and temperature. This process only takes a few minutes.
Place a small magnet on the condition monitor over the ITT logo and then remove it, as
this example shows.
Magnet
When the condition monitor is activated it:
1. Displays a series of red LEDs followed by a solid green LED.
2. Collects eight samples that are spaced one second apart.
3. Averages these readings to establish the baseline vibration level.
4. Flashes a green LED after approximately twelve seconds.
For the first ten minutes, the green LED flashes every second for five consecutive
flashes and then pauses to take a vibration reading. More frequent measurements
(every six seconds) are taken in this startup period so that an alarm can be immediately
detected.
