ABB Ability Smart Sensor User manual

It is important to read these
instructions in their entirety before
installing the ABB Ability™ Smart
Sensor for hazardous areas with flat
surface 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 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 flat surface mount

Installation instruction
Please follow the following instructions for the instal-
lation of ABB AbilityTM Smart Sensors on motors and
pumps.
• 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
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.

2ABB ABILITY SMART SENSOR FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR FLAT SURFACE

Step 1
Degrease the installation surface at the recommended
mounting position.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING DEGREASING AGENT.
Step 3
Place the flat surface mount in the center of the
putty disc.
For installations in Zone 0 and Zone 20 environments,
the mounting piece must be grounded via a wire.
Please verify that the mounting piece is grounded by
measuring the resistance between the motor frame
and the mounting piece.
Installation steps
Items required for the installation
• 1 Flat surface 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
• Degreasing agent
• Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles
• 50 mm hex bit and suitable wrench
• 3/16“ for ¼” – 28 screw
• 5 mm for M6 screw
Step 2
Apply LoctiteTM EA 3463 or similar putty to the installati-
on surface. Form the putty as a round disc as shown
in the picture.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING PUTTY.
WARNING
Direct skin exposure to solvents and/or thread locker
could cause discomfort or injury, including, but not

Step 5
Fasten the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor to the flat sur-
face mount by using the M6 hexagon socket screw.
Tighten the screw with 10 Nm (7.4 ft-lb) of torque.
Make sure to hold the sensor while tightening the
screw to avoid exerting torque on the putty and the
flat surface mount.
Step 4
Press the flat surface mount against the putty. Make
sure that the mount is pressed deep enough.
CAUTION: ALLOW PUTTY TO DRY FOR 10 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING ON TO STEP 5 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
Make sure that the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor is
mounted parallel to the rotating shaft. Assemble
the screw hole cover to hide the screw hole.
