FCC NOTICE FCC ID: ZOC-IMI670A01 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
HAZARDOUS AREA USE Warning- Explosion Hazard- Do Not Disconnect or connect while circuit is live unless area is known to be non-hazardous. Batteries must not be changed unless area is known to be Non-Hazardous. Do not open when an explosive atmosphere may be present. Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Div 2.
Introduction ® The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor, Model CS670A01, is a standalone, battery powered, wireless, industrial vibration sensor. Its primary function is to monitor the vibration of machinery in condition monitoring and predictive maintenance applications. The sensor’s measurements are optimized to be sensitive to most common machinery faults such as unbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing faults and gear faults.
Cap Material and Chemical Compatibility The sensor cap is made from a translucent polycarbonate material. This material was chosen because it is tough, allows the transmitted RF signal to radiate out of the sensor, permits visual feedback provided by the imbedded blue status LED, and reduces the passage of ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Magnet Switch and LED Status Indicator ® The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor has a magnetic switch located inside the sensor that is used to activate and deactivate the sensor. Hold a strong magnet next to the sensor housing at the location indicated on the housing, see figure below, to operate the switch. The blue LED light should begin blinking quickly within about 4 seconds.
® Programming the Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor Programming ® The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor can be programmed with a computer running the ® Echo Monitoring Software through a serial port. While this is a serial port in the sensor, a micro USB connector is used in order to fit into the small space. A special (optional) ®...
Connect to the Sensor with the Echo® Monitoring Software ® Launch the Echo Monitoring Software. You should see a screen similar to the one below. Click on Configuration on the menu bar. You should see a screen similar to the following, ®...

You should see the following selections on the next screen. Click on ‘I want to add | ® update | view and Echo Sensors parameters’, then click on Next > at the bottom of the screen. Select the receiver where data from this specific sensor should be sent. This also, by default, specifies the database where data from this sensor will be stored.

® When the following screen is displayed, make sure the Echo Programming Cable is connected to the computer, then; connect the micro USB connector to the sensor. After the blue LED blinks 5 times, click OK. The following connection window will appear. Select the appropriate COM port and ®...
The green bar should illuminate indicating the connection has been made. The fields to the right of the window will populate with the current programmed parameters. Factory Defaults The factory defaults are defined below unless otherwise specified. See the explanation of the parameters below.
Transmission Interval: The Transmission Interval is the time between transmissions of measured data. The factory default is 8 hours. That means the sensor will “wake up” and make a measurement every 8 hours (3 times per day). At the default 8-hour transmission interval, the primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl ) batteries are expected to last in excess of 5 years.
® Saving Changes to the Echo Sensor ® Click the Set button next to each field to be updated to program the value in the Echo Sensor. To verify the programming when all changes have been made, click the Read Parameters button.
Mounting ® The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor should be stud mounted on a clean, flat surface. It is not recommended to mount the sensor with a magnet due to the size and mass of the sensor. The correct mounting torque for the sensor is 3 to 5 ft-lb (4 to 7 N-m). It is also a good idea to put a small amount of silicon grease on the bottom of the sensor before mounting.
Battery Pack WARNING Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries Do NOT heat batteries above 212 °F (100 °C) Do NOT attempt to replace with standard AA size batteries. They will not work. ® Note: The Echo Sensor uses two 3.6 V, A-size (not AA) primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl ) high energy density, bobbin cell batteries in series that are NOT rechargeable.
