ABB Ability Smart Sensor User manual

It is important to read these
instructions in their entirety before
installing the ABB Ability™ Smart
Sensor for pumps.
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.
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
Surface temperature hazard. The external surface
of an electric motor or the driven pump may reach
temperatures which can cause discomfort, burns
or injury to individuals who come into contact with
the hot surface. For safety reasons the equipment
should be switched off and allowed to cool before
attempting to install the sensor. Equipment surface
temperatures should only be measured with suitable
instruments and not estimated 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
safety certifications and IP rating. Dispose of used
sensors according to instructions.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensor for pumps
Installation with mounting putty

Installation instruction
Please follow the following instructions for the
installation of ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensors on
pumps.
Mounting position on pumps
1.The sensor must be located on the pump housing
above the drive-end bearing of the pump, closest to
the motor coupling.
2.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.
3.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.

Step 2
Use sandpaper or similar abrasive material to remove
paint from mounting surface. Repeat step 1.
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.
3
Use the receiving mount included in the kit.
Step 4
Squeeze, knead, twist and roll putty until it has a uni-
form, homogeneous color according to manufacturer’s
instructions. This should take 5–10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove putty from tube and cut out between 1/4 and
1/3 of the putty for installation of receiving mount.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ting 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 Market-
placeTM is available in your region.

Step 9
Use two Phillips head screws to securely fasten the
ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor to mounting bracket.

Step 6
Immediately after applying putty, insert receiving
mount into center of putty, pressing firmly. Form any
excess putty around the sides of the mounting piece.
Step 5
Firmly apply putty to the clean housing surface or,
alternatively, wrap the putty around the end of the
receiving mount before attaching to the surface.
The putty should be approx. 1.25 inch (3 cm) wide.
Step 7
Secure bracket to receiving mount using the hex head
screw. Apply Loctite™ or equivalent threadlocker to the
screw threads, ensuring that the screw head is locked
1 mm above chamfer for the best heat and vibration
transmission.
Step 8
Use a level to verify the alignment. The axial direction
(white line) must be parallel to the pump shaft. The
tangential axis (red line) should be at a right angle to
the axial line, on a plane tangential to the housing.
The radial direction (black line) points towards the
center line of the shaft. If this is not possible, the
T-axis must be parallel to the rotating shaft.
CAUTION: ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR PUTTY TO
HARDEN BEFORE PROCEEDING. CURING TIME DE-
PENDS ON SURFACE AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
TYPICAL CURING TIME IS 10 MINUTES, BUT THIS CAN
TAKE LONGER IN COLD ENVIRONMENTS.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN
USING THREADLOCKER.
