protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Product Description
i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 9
Product Description
General description i-ALERT®2 Condition Monitor
Description The i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor is a compact, battery-operated monitoring device
that continuously measures the vibration and temperature of the pump. The i-ALERT®2
Equipment Health Monitor uses blinking red LED and wireless notification to alert the pump
operator when the pump exceeds vibration and temperature limits. This allows the pump
operator to make changes to the process or the pump before catastrophic failure occurs. The
Equipment Health Monitor is also equipped with a single green LED to indicate when it is
operational and has sufficient battery life.
The i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor also contains a Bluetooth radio that communicates
to certain Bluetooth 4.0 equipped devices through a mobile application.
Data is shared between the i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor, the mobile application,
phone, and the data servers.
The i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor will communicate sensor related data (such as
vibration, temperature, runtime information, and device statistics) stored in the device to the
mobile application. The mobile application will send commands to the device.
The Mobile application will back up device data as well as app usage information on the data
servers.
The data servers will send the mobile application equipment technical data.
For full details about data storage and rights please review the Privacy Policy.
Alarm mode The i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor enters alarm mode when either vibration or
temperature limits are exceeded over two consecutive readings within a 10 minute period.
Alarm mode is indicated with 1 (one) red flashing LED within 2 (two) second intervals.
Warning and alarm values
Variable Limit
Temperature (default) 80°C | 176°F
Vibration Alarm (0.1-1.5 ips) 100% increase over the baseline level
Vibration Warning (0.1-1.5 ips) 75% increase over the baseline level
Battery life The i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor battery is not replaceable. You must replace the
entire unit once the battery runs out of power. The battery life is not covered as part of the
standard 5-year pump warranty.
The following determines the “normal operating conditions” in which the 3-year battery life is
determined:
• Temperature: 18°C | 65°F
• Dashboard connections (including trend download): Once per day
• FFT and Time Waveform usage: One tri-axial request per 14 days
• Operation time in Alarm: 25% of time

Epoxy recommendation
The epoxy used should be a two-part putty in stick form (not liquid) type, which contains
metallic particles in order to enhance heat transfer. Epoxy of this type is commonly found at
hardware and home improvement stores. The temperature range required and specific
application determine the epoxy choice. Mount i-ALERT®2 device to base using provided ¼-28
cap screw. Torque screw to 6 lb-ft. using a 5/32" size Allen Head wrench prior to the application
of the epoxy.
Location selection The i-ALERT®2 device should be mounted on pumps or other rotating equipment as shown in
the first image under “Mounting Options" (above) with the LED’s aligned with the shaft in order
to maintain the preferred axis orientation shown below. Care should be taken to locate the
device over the bearings, and to avoid placement on compliant surfaces such as coupling
guards, and other light sheet metal. It is preferable to have one device over each bearing, but if
that is not possible, monitoring the drive end is essential.

Installation
i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 11
Figure 8: Location selection
The temperature seen by the i-ALERT®2 temperature sensor maybe different from the surface
temperature of the object it is mounted to. Mounting the i-ALERT®2 directly to the machine will
give the most accurate reading. The differences are due to the temperature gradient that exists
between the i-ALERT®2 and the machines surface. This gradient can be greater when the
ambient temperature is very different from the surface temperature.

i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor routine operation
Measurement interval
The measurement interval for the condition monitor during normal and alarm operation is 5
minutes.
When the monitor measures a reading beyond the specified temperature and vibration limits,
the appropriate red LED flashes (after 2 consecutive readings). After the process or pump
condition that causes the alarm is corrected, the condition monitor returns to normal mode after
one normal-level measurement.
Alarm mode The condition monitor’s alarm mode is activated after two consecutive readings. When the
alarm mode is on, you should investigate the cause of the condition and make necessary
corrections in a timely manner.
Magnetic device considerations
Be careful when you use magnetic devices in close proximity of the condition monitor, such as
magnetic vibration-monitoring probes or dial indicators. These magnetic devices can acciden-
tally activate or deactivate the condition monitor resulting in improper alarm levels or loss of
monitoring.
Wireless integration
A Bluetooth Low Energy Radio is utilized to communicate condition monitoring information to a
mobile Smart device that the operator can easily view and react to.
