Product Description 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.
Installation Installation ™ Attach the i-ALERT Condition Monitor to the pump CAUTION: Always wear protective gloves. The pump and condition monitor can be hot. Tools required: • 5/32 inch hex wrench Attach the condition monitor (761B) to the bearing frame (228A) using the hex-head screw (372T) provided.
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.
NOTICE: Always deactivate the condition monitor when the pump is going to be shut down for an extended period of time. Failure to do so will result in reduced battery life. Touch and hold a small magnet to the condition monitor over the ITT logo until the red LEDs blink three times.
