ABB Ability Smart Sensor Instruction sheet

It is important to read these
instructions in their entirety before
installing the ABB Ability™ Smart
Sensor for hazardous areas with
wedge mount.
ATTENTION
The Smart Sensor should be installed by technically
qualified personnel. Failure to install the sensor in
compliance with applicable codes and regulations
and according to the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations may result in electrical shock, fire hazard,
unsatisfactory performance or equipment failure,
and may void the sensor warranty.
ATTENTION
The mounting piece must be grounded if the sensor
is installed in Ex Zone 0 or Zone 20 environments.
Grounding can be achieved with the spike at the
bottom of the mounting piece or by attaching a wire
to the M3 screw provided.
WARNING
Only qualified individuals who are familiar with
appropriate national codes, local codes and sound
practices should install, repair or modify electric
motors and/or related accessories. Installation
should conform to appropriate codes and practices.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.
WARNING
Electrical live circuit hazard. Do not touch electrically
live parts or equipment. Disconnect, lock out and tag
out the motor’s power supply before installing or
servicing the sensor.
CAUTION
Motor surface temperature hazard. The external
surface of an electric motor may reach temperatures
which can cause discomfort, burns or injury to indi-
viduals who come into contact with the hot surface.
For safety reasons the motor should be switched off
and allowed to cool before attempting to install the
sensor. Motor surface temperatures should only be
measured with suitable instruments and not estima-
ted by hand touch or direct skin contact. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
CAUTION
Do not replace batteries! Incorrect use of batteries
voids the certifications of the Smart Sensor, such as
hazardous area certifications, safety certifications,
and IP rating. Dispose of used sensors according to
instructions.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensor for hazardous areas
Installation with wedge mount

Installation instruction
Please follow the following instructions for the instal-
lation of ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensors on fin-cooled
motors.
Mounting position on motor
• The sensor must be located between the drive-end
and non-drive-end bearings, as close to the center as
possible. Note: The sensor mount cannot be removed
after installation.
• For best Bluetooth® communication, mount the sensor
with a clear line of sight to any communication devices
to be used: your smartphone or a Bluetooth® gateway.
• The mounting orientation must be such that the
A-axis on the sensor housing is parallel to the rota-
ting shaft. If this is not physically possible, the T-axis
must be parallel to the rotating shaft.

2ABB ABILITY SMART SENSOR FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR WEDGE MOUNT
Supported motors
• This mounting instruction applies for fin-cooled
motors up to frame sizes equivalent to IEC 500.
• Detailed information about which motor types can
be monitored with the ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensor
can be found on www.abb.com/smartsensor.
Items required for the installation
• 1 Wedge mount
• 2 Hexagon socket screw (2 pcs)
• ¼” – 28 (black)
• M6
• 3 ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor for hazardous areas
• 4 Loctite™ EA 3463 or similar putty
• 5 Cover for screw hole

ATTENTION
For installations in Zone 0 and Zone 20 environments,
the mounting piece must be grounded via a wire or
with the help of the spike. Please verify that the mount-
ing piece is grounded by measuring the resistance
between the motor frame and the mounting piece.
Step 1
Degrease the upper and lower surfaces of the selected
fins at the recommended mounting position.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING DEGREASING AGENT.
Installation steps
• Degreasing agent
• Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles
• 50 mm hex bit and suitable wrench
• 3/16“ for ¼” – 28 screw
• 5 mm for M6 screw
• Rubber mallet
Step 2
Apply LoctiteTM EA 3463 or similar putty to the end of
the wedge mount. The picture shows the minimum
amount of glue required. If grounding of the moun-
ting piece is required, do not cover the spike at the
end of the mount with glue. This spike is used to
ground the mount to the motor frame. Alternatively,
the grounding can be done by attaching a wire to the
M3 screw in the mount.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING GLUE.
WARNING
Direct skin exposure to solvents and/or threadlocker
could cause discomfort or injury, including, but not
limited to, burning or skin irritation. Use appropriate
protective gloves and goggles when following these
instructions.

Step 3
Push the wedge mount between the cooling fins of the
motor.

NOTE: After commissioning, the sensor has a two-
month trial period during which the user has full
access to Smart Sensor data and web services.
After the trial period, the usage can be continued by
activating a subscription acquired from a local ABB
sales unit or from ABB Ability MarketplaceTM. Please
check with your local ABB partner if the ABB Ability
MarketplaceTM is available in your region.
Step 7
Activate the sensor by turning on the smartphone’s
NFC and tap the left side of the sensor with the smart-
phone. Digitally connect the sensor by using the ABB
Ability™ Smart Sensor Platform App. Log in using your
ABB credentials and navigate to the “Commission
new asset” menu, to pair the Smart Sensor to the
asset to be monitored.

Step 4
Use a hammer with a rubber or plastic head to insert
the mounting wedge until the end of the wedge touches
the frame of the motor.
If the installation is done in a Zone 0 or Zone 20
environment, the grounding connection should be
verified at this stage by measuring the resistance
between the mount and the frame of the motor. The
resistance should be less than 100 Ω.
Step 5
Press the putty firmly to the mount to ensure that the
installation is robust.
CAUTION: ALLOW PUTTY TO DRY FOR 10 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING ON TO STEP 6 TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE INSTALLATION IS ROBUST. THE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE AND THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE
MUST BE WITHIN 15 °C – 35 °C (59 °F – 95 °F) FOR
THE PUTTY TO CURE.
Step 6
Fasten the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor to the wedge
mount by using the M6 hexagon socket screw.
Tighten the screw with maximum 10 Nm (7.4 ft-lb) of
torque. Make sure to hold the sensor while tightening
the screw to avoid exerting torque on the glue.
Make sure that the ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensor is
mounted parallel to the rotating shaft by aligning it
with the motor fins. Assemble the screw hole cover to
hide the screw hole.
