ENTEK IRD INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. CONTRACT. When Customer accepts a Quotation from Entek IRD International Corporation or an

affiliate (the entity issuing the quotation being "Entek IRD") by issuance of a purchase order or

otherwise and Entek IRD accepts the order, Customer is deemed to have agreed to all the Terms

and Conditions contained herein. Unless otherwise approved in writing, the acceptance of Entek

IRD is expressly conditioned upon Customer accepting these Terms and Conditions, and any

different or additional terms and conditions contained in Customer's order or related documents

are expressly objected to by Entek IRD and not binding upon it. Entek IRD reserves the right to

accept or reject all orders received by it and all orders may only be accepted at the contracting

office of Entek IRD located in Ohio. Entek IRD may accept in writing, by commencement of

performance or otherwise.

2. QUOTATIONS. All quotations expire automatically thirty days from date of quotation or earlier by

notice from Entek IRD. Unless otherwise noted in writing by Entek IRD, all prices are F.O.B. the

place of origin for domestic shipments and Ex Works (as defined in INCOTERMS 1990) for

international shipments; and risk of loss in transit is on Customer. Prices do not include any

applicable taxes, however designated, levied or based upon the goods or services being quoted.

Customer agrees to pay all such taxes or provide acceptable evidence of exemption therefrom.

3. TIMING. All delivery/shipping and service dates stated by Entek IRD are approximate dates only

and estimated in good faith to the best of Entek IRD's ability and are dependent upon Entek IRD's

prompt receipt of all necessary information from Customer. Time shall not be deemed to be of

the essence in Entek IRD's performance of this agreement, and no penalty clause of any

description in any specification or order will be effective unless specifically approved in writing

by an authorized officer of Entek IRD. In any event delivery/shipping and service dates are

always quoted subject to unavoidable delays due to causes beyond Entek IRD's control including

but not limited to strikes, casualty, war, acts of God, systems failure or government action.

4. TERMS. Payment terms for domestic orders are net 10 days from date of invoice, unless otherwise

provided in the quotation. For international orders, Entek IRD reserves the right to specify

prepayment, letter of credit, or payment net 10 days from the date of invoice. Each shipment

shall be considered a separate and independent transaction and payment must be made

accordingly. If the financial condition or credit of Customer at any time in the judgment of Entek

IRD, does not warrant shipment of goods ordered, Entek IRD may at its option require full

payment prior to shipment or refuse to ship and terminate any order outstanding without liability

to Entek IRD. If any sum is not paid by Customer when due, Entek IRD shall not be obligated to

continue performance. If any amount is not paid when due, to the extent permitted by law a late

fee of 1% per month (or any part thereof) shall be charged on past due amounts until paid.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. If Customer data comes into Entek IRD's possession, Entek IRD shall use

the same level of care to maintain the confidentiality of that data which Entek IRD uses for its

own confidential information. Subject thereto, Entek IRD may use data in its possession to

compile and maintain commercial machinery information databases in which the origin of

specific data is not identifiable by users. Such databases shall be the sole property of Entek IRD.

6. CANCELLATION. Once accepted by Entek IRD, an order is not subject to cancellation in whole

or in part by Customer without Entek IRD's prior written consent. Any such cancellation shall be

subject to a cancellation charge as determined by Entek IRD to cover any loss that may be

incurred by Entek IRD as a result of such cancellation, including without limitation a 25%

restocking charge for standard products.

Terms and Conditions

iv dataPAC Data Collector User’s Guide

7. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES. Customer shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and

adequacy of the information provided to Entek IRD, and Entek IRD shall not be liable for any

damages resulting from the loss, disclosure or inaccuracy of such information. Customer shall,

for those contracts which include on-site installation, have the installation site prepared at its

expense prior to the scheduled installation date to enable Entek IRD to promptly deliver and

commence installation. The products are not for use in or with any nuclear facility, unless the

Quotation expressly permits such use; and Customer shall indemnify and hold Entek IRD

harmless from all liability (including such liability resulting from Entek IRD's negligence) arising

out of such improper use. Customer shall not send or use the products outside the United States

except in compliance with all applicable law, including U.S. export regulations and restrictions.

8. SOFTWARE AND SERVICES DOCUMENTS. If any computer software, whether incorporated

into a piece of equipment ("firmware"),or provided separately, and related user documentation in

any medium (collectively referred to as "Software") are included in the contract, the terms of the

Entek IRD Standard Software License Agreement shall govern the contract with respect to

Software. If any services other than oil analysis services are included in the contract, the Entek

IRD Standard Field Engineering Services Terms and Conditions shall govern such services.

Those documents are available to Customer upon request, and Customer is responsible to obtain

and read the Standard Software License Agreement and the Standard Field Engineering Services

Terms and Conditions.

9. LIMITED WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES. A. Entek IRD warrants to Customer (and not

anyone else) that (i) all products manufactured by Entek IRD shall be free of defects in materials

and workmanship under normal conditions for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment

make any representation or warranty; Entek IRD has issued a Year 2000 readiness disclosure

statement, which is available to Customer upon request.

B. With respect to any Entek IRD product or service that fails to satisfy the limited warranty

provisions in this Section, as Customer's exclusive remedy, and at Entek IRD's option, Entek IRD

service, provided that any defect is brought to the attention of Entek IRD within the warranty

period. To qualify for this warranty concerning a product Customer must return the defective

product to Entek IRD's designated facility freight prepaid, and after repair or replacement Entek

IRD will return the product freight prepaid; or, if in Entek IRD's opinion the product is

impractical to ship, Customer shall be charged for labor, transportation and subsistence expenses

for the service representative(s) providing the warranty work at Customer's site. Entek IRD alone

will be authorized to furnish or arrange for repairs or replacements.

C. The above limited warranties do not apply, and no warranty, either express or implied, shall be

applicable, (a) to damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse or abuse, harmful conditions,

systems failure or Act of God; (b) if the product is not installed, operated and maintained

according to procedures recommended by Entek IRD; or (c) if the Entek IRD serial number is

obliterated. In no case shall the limited warranty extend to defects in materials, components, or

services furnished by third parties or to the repair or installation of the product performed by third

parties. The above warranties do not extend to any products sold "as-is" or "as-inspected;" no

warranties, either express or implied, are made with respect to such products.

D. Entek IRD makes no representations or warranties to Customer, or anyone else, with respect to

products manufactured by a third party. Any warranties of the third party manufacturers shall run

directly to Customer to the extent permitted by law and Entek IRD shall have no liability therefor.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Overview of the dataPAC

The information in this manual applies to all three dataPAC models (1500, 1250, and 1000).

Differences in the models are noted in the text.

A predictive maintenance program helps you decide when equipment needs to be serviced

or replaced. Part of a complete predictive maintenance program includes vibration

monitoring. The dataPAC allows you to perform vibration analysis by collecting data

samples. The dataPAC is referred to as the dataPAC or the data collector in this User’s

Guide.

With the predictive maintenance abilities of the dataPAC, you can:

Collect magnitude, process, spectrum, time, and phase data.

Store collected data on a memory card.

Review collected data.

Balancing applications are included with the 1500 model.

Using the Manual

This Guide is intended for people the dataPAC without host software to collect vibration

data and perform vibration analysis. This manual contains step-by-step instructions for

using the dataPAC. It also serves as a reference and troubleshooting guide with sections

about the data collector and frequently asked questions related to the dataPAC.
