Banner MultiHop Series Quick Start Manual

Vibration Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
Solutions Kit
The MultiHop version of the Vibration Solutions Kit provides visual status of up to 40 Banner vibration and
temperature sensors that are wirelessly linked to the included DXM Wireless Controller. This provides a simple
"Check Engine Light" of the asset being monitored. The added benefits of a MultiHop style Solutions Kit include
longer range capabilities by using repeater radios, wiring multiple sensors to a single radio, and more vibration
information available per sensor for advanced applications.
The program takes a data sample every five minutes from the vibration sensors and the software uses the raw
data to detect whether an asset is running, create a baseline of the four vibration characteristics (RMS Velocity
10-1000 Hz on Z and X axis and RMS High Frequency Acceleration 1000-4000 Hz on Z and X axis), and
generate warning and alarm thresholds for those characteristics. Only data from an operational asset is used to
create the baselines or thresholds and only that data is used to trigger warnings or alarms. Data from assets that
are not running/operational appear on the graphs but are not used in the analysis.
RMS Velocity identifies problems such as: imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and other low frequency
machine issues.
RMS High Frequency Acceleration is used to indicate early bearing wear issues.

To get started:
1. Connect and plug in the 24 V DC Class 2 or LPS power supply to the Solutions Kit to apply power to the
radios.
2. Assign sensor Modbus IDs (page 2), bind the radios to the kit (page 3), and confirm your signal quality
with a site survey (page 3).
3. After a radio is bound with a sensor attached, the system begins sampling data to create a baseline for
that sensor.

separately (Banner recommends model PSW-24-1
(FCC/CE) or model PSD-24-4 (FCC/CE) if you are
powering additional indicator lights)
