Introduction The Aion measures the vibrations, magnetic fields, and heat created by your machines. These sensor nodes collect machine information and transmit data to our machine learning algorithm for processing. As a result, we can detect anomalies and faults in your machine and prevent bigger failures. Once a fault is detected you will receive a notification providing the information you need to plan maintenance in advance, avoiding the need for unplanned production stops.

Not following this manual may cause malfunction of the sensor node, unprecise anomaly detection, or damage to the machines and to the environment. AiSight must be notified of any abnormal behavior from or defect in any Aion, and will provide maintenance or replacement of the malfunctioning or damaged sensor node.
Proper handling Proper handling of the AiSight Aion sensor node is critical to prevent any damage. The following situations should be avoided at all times: Dropping the Aion hitting the unit against sharp or hard surfaces ● Using excessive force when mounting the Aion ●...

Service and installation instructions To successfully install the Aion and access the data in the AiSight Machine Insight Center, three steps are needed: 1. Mounting: mount the Aion with the help of the provided mounting accessories 2. Powering: connect the Aion to power 3.
Page 12
5. Apply the Aion to the previously prepared surface For additional information regarding mounting the Aion, please contact AiSight. Safety Precautions The AiSight magnet is very strong. It is necessary to take exceptional care when handling it in the vicinity of magnetic surfaces and the user's fingers.

In case none of the previous options are applicable, the sensor node can be powered by the Aion battery pack, specifically designed by AiSight to fulfill the power needs of the sensor node. The battery pack can be connected to the sensor node through 1 m shielded cable with male/female M8 4-pin connector (provided by AiSight).
5.2.1. Powering with the ac power supply The TRE25R240 power supply accepts voltage levels from 90 to 264V ac, with a maximum input current of 0.7A. Overcurrent protection and exclusive breakers can be set by the user if required. The power supply includes a cable with power plug (CEE 7 or NEMA). The ac connection must be at a distance equal to or less than 3 linear meters from the installation of the sensor node.
3. Carefully slide the protective metal plate from the magnet using pliers 4. Connect the battery pack to the sensor node through 1 m shielded cable with a male/female M8 4-pin connector (provided by AiSight). The recommended torque for mating the connector is 0.4 N•m; over- or under-torque might cause a deterioration of the mating surfaces or result in a poor and unstable connection, respectively.

Safety precautions The back of the Aion battery pack includes a very strong magnet. It is necessary to take exceptional care when handling it in the vicinity of magnetic surfaces and the user's fingers.
The Aion battery pack contains primary cells. The cells used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C, or incinerate.

8. Connect the first end to the ac plug or 24 V dc supply. Only in case of powering through Aion battery pack, connect the M8 female connector to the battery pack and turn the connector in clockwise direction until a secure connection is achieved.
Page 20
3. Turn the connector in clockwise direction until a secure connection is achieved. Recommended torque is 0.4 N•m [3.54 lb-ft]. Once the power is on, the sensor node's status LED will visually indicate the status of the connection. The white light will indicate that the sensor is on. The light should shortly change to a red color, which will indicate that the sensor is ready for the next step.
Make sure the plug is securely tightened to the sensor connector (recommended torque 0.4 N•m). Aion can be provisioned at any time when it is not battery powered, except during updates which are indicated by a purple status LED.

When powered by battery, provisioning is possible during the first 10 minutes after connecting the node to the battery pack. This power-cycling process should be repeated when Aion is required to connect to a different network with new credentials. Open the app and make sure the Bluetooth connections are allowed and click on Provision Device, as shown in Figure 5.6.

After selecting the proper node, the app will command the node to scan available Wi-Fi networks in range and displays them as shown in Figure 5.8(a). Select the network that will be used for the nodes. Enter the network password, as shown in Figure 5.8(b).
