1.3 Considerations
General
Electrical vibration sensors, such as accelerometers, produce low-level signals proportional
to their sensed vibration. With simple HART configuration, the monitor converts the low-
level sensor signal to a wireless-enabled signal.
Commissioning
The monitor can be commissioned before or after installation. You can commission it on
the bench before installation to ensure proper operation and to be familiar with its
functions.
Make sure the instruments are installed in accordance with applicable field wiring
practices.
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is powered whenever the battery is installed.
Installation
When choosing an installation location and position, provide ample access to the monitor.
The device should be mounted vertically, perpendicular to the shaft and on the bearing
case. Horizontal mounting is also an option. For more information, see
Wireless Vibration
Battery
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses an off-the-shelf Tadiran TL-4920/VE battery.
The battery comes with the device but it is not connected when the device is shipped. You
need to connect the battery before configuring and installing the device.
Environmental
The monitor operates within specifications for ambient temperatures between –40°F and
185°F (–40°C and 85°C).
Verify that the operating environment of the monitor is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous location certifications.
1.4 Return of materials
You may need to ship the device to an Emerson Product Service Center for return or
replacement in case of warranty issues. Before shipping, contact Emerson Product Support
to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number and receive additional
instructions.
