bannerman Q45VA User manual

Before You Begin
Read these instructions before using your Sure Cross® radios. Do not discard these instructions.
For more detailed information about installing and using your Sure Cross products, download and read the Sure Cross Wireless I/O
Network Manual (p/n 132607).
Always mount Q45VA / VAC so that the x-axis (reference label on side of sensor) is parallel to the main centerline of the asset. The
front of the Q45VA / VAC can face either direction as long as x-axis is parallel. Verify the z-axis is perpendicular (reference label on
side of sensor) with the radius of the of the asset main shaft.

There are four recommended ways to mount the Q45VA / VAC to the monitored asset:
•Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Directly to the Asset on page 1
•Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Bracket Assembly BWA-Q45VA-FESS on page 1
•Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Magnetic Mount Bracket BWA-Q45VA-CMSS on page 3
•Install the Q45 Using the Disc from BWA-Q45VA-FESS and Magnetic Mount Bracket BWA-Q45VA-CMSS on page 5
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Directly to the Asset
Follow these instructions to mount the Q45VA Sensor Node directly to the asset you are monitoring. It is important to note that using
this method to mount the sensor may not allow future replacement without damaging the sensor.
1. Clean the bottom surface of the Q45VA Sensor Node.
2. Apply Loctite 330 and 7387 Activator (or similar adhesive) to the base of the Q45 housing.
Figure 4. Apply adhesive to the bottom of the Q45
Apply adhesive to this
cleaned surface.
3. Place the Q45VA on the asset, ensuring the correct alignment as shown in Before You Begin on page 1.
4. After the Q45VA Sensor Node is aligned, hold for several minutes until the epoxy hardens.
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Bracket Assembly BWA-Q45VA-FESS
Follow these instructions to mount the Q45VA Sensor Node to the monitored asset using the BWA-Q45VA-FESS bracket assembly.
The BWA-Q45VA-FESS bracket assembly includes:
• Screw retainers (2)
• Base plate (1)

1. Flip the Q45VA / VAC upside down.
2. Insert the screw retainers into the two slots of the device and align the screw holes with the holes at the bottom of the
Q45VA / VAC.

3. Position the base plate on the bottom of the Q45VA / VAC so that the four counterbores face up and the alignment mark
faces the front of the Q45VA / VAC. Align the counterbores with the holes at the bottom of the device. See Figure 5 on page
2.
4. Securely attach the base plate using the four Phillips head screws.
5. Apply Loctite to the center screw hole of the base plate. Secure the set screw into the center hole until it reaches resistance.

7. Using a felt marker, place a mark on the disc that aligns with the machined groove on the base plate.
This marks the proper alignment of the Q45VA Sensor Node on your asset and aids in proper alignment if the Q45VA
Sensor Node needs to be replaced in the future. See Figure 10 on page 3.

in the base plate
8. Thoroughly clean the surface on the asset when the sensor is going to be mounted.
9. Apply Loctite 330 and 7387 Activator (or similar adhesive) per instructions to the exposed clean surface of the disc and
place the sensor into position, ensuring the correct alignment is shown in Before You Begin on page 1. See Figure 11 on
page 3.

10. Hold the Sensor Node in place for several minutes until the epoxy has hardened.
11. After the epoxy has hardened, remove the sensor from the disc.
12. Apply 262 Series Loctite to the set screw and screw the Sensor Node back onto the disc, ensuring that the groove in the
base plate and the mark align.
