Sensors
Water Sensor
The Water Sensor is used to measure
the dissolved water content in the uid. It
monitors water content in oil as % Saturation,
Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and
optionally water content in Parts per Million.
Conversion of % Saturation to PPM requires
uid constants, which are available from Pall.
This sensor is installed on the ‘Water Sensor’
port connector on the Fluid Interface where
indicated by the port label and using the M8
to 8-pin, M12 connector cable.
Filter Element Life Sensor
The Filter Element Life Sensor is used to
measure pressure across the lter element.
It monitors differential pressure in bard or psid
and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The Filter Housing provides a single port for
connection of the sensor mounted at the base
of the lter tube. This sensor connects to the
M8 style connector on the electronics housing
using the M8 to 5-pin, M12 connector cable.
Sensor Manifold
The sensor manifold is an optional tting that
can be installed into a system and is used to
connect the Fluid Properties Sensor and the
Water Sensor to the application. The sensor
manifold must be installed in a way that will
minimize the potential for air entrapment.
Fluid Properties Sensor
The Fluid Property Sensor (FPS) is used
to measure the uid heath of a hydraulic
or lube uid application. It monitors uid
Viscosity, Density, Dielectric Constant, and
Temperature. This sensor connects to the
‘Fluid Sensor’ port on the Fluid Interface
where indicated on the port label using the
M8 to automotive style connector cable.

Reorienting the Filter Node
If the Filter Node needs to be reoriented to
face an appropriate direction, rst loosen
the two nuts securing the Filter Node clamp.
Once the Filter Node moves freely, reorient
it to the desired direction. Ensure that a
gap of 0.8mm – 1.6 mm (1/32” – 1/16”) is
maintained between the Filter Node Beacon
and the Athalon®CM Lid. Once the Filter
Node is in place, torque the two nuts to
8-12 N/m (6-9 ft. lbs.).
OVER TORQUING THE FILTER NODE
NUTS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE FILTER NODE ASSEMBLY!
2. Network Connection
See “Providing a Wi-Fi Access Point”
in Section 5 – Setup. Ensuring a stable
ÇÇ
network connection rst, is necessary to
complete step 4 – Gateway Setup.
3. Provision Hardware

Section5Setup
Providing a Wi-Fi Access Point
The customer site must provide a Wi-Fi
access point (2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n)
that is in range of the gateway.
If a Wi-Fi access point is not available, but a
wired Ethernet connection is available at the
customer’s site, contact Pall for connection
options.
If both a Wi-Fi and Ethernet internet
connection are not available, Contact
Pall for cellular connection options, note
additional charges will be associated with
the use of wireless cellular connectivity.
Conguring the Athalon®CM Gateway
The customer must congure the Wi-Fi
Gateway to communicate with an on-site
Wi-Fi access point. The gateway associates
to a Wi-Fi access point using a service
set identier (SSID) broadcast by the
Wi-Fi access point. The gateway securely
communicates with the following common
Wi-Fi security types: Open (no security
code), WEP-40, WEP-104, WPA (AES &
TKIP), WPA2 (AES, TKIP & Mixed mode).
Each gateway comes with a unique MAC
address assigned by the factory, which
may also be used for authentication. Pall
recommends the use of the WPA2 security
mode.
A. Upon initial power-up, the Wi-Fi Gateway
will function as a Wi-Fi Access Point.
Using a laptop or mobile device, connect
to the gateway’s network SSID, which is
set to its MAC address. Refer to your
devices manual or instructions to change
networks.
B. Pictured below, arrow 1 indicates how to
access networks using a Windows
Laptop. Select your device (MAC address
will be different than the one shown) and
click connect (arrow 2).
C. Pictured below, the circled network is an
example of what the Gateway will appear
as on a mobile phone. Find your device
(MAC address will be different than the
one shown) and connect to it.

Rapid Report Mode
During standard operation of the Athalon®CM
system, the Filter Node and Fluid Interface
send sensor reports once an hour. Using
Crixus, the Filter Node and Fluid Interface
can be set to a “Rapid Report Mode” for a
nite length of time. Rapid Report Mode is
intended for maintenance and troubleshooting
purposes only and not as a normal part of
operation. “Rapid Report Mode” will increase
the rate of reports to once every minute and is
user selectable for a two, four, eight, or twelve
hour duration. Management of this feature is
controlled via the Crixus website or the Crixus
mobile application.
Section6Disposal of Equipment
At the end of its life, the Athalon®CM
hardware should be dismantled and
disposed of in accordance with all
applicable local waste disposal laws and
bylaws. Where facilities exist, component
parts of the unit may be recycled. Details
of the materials of construction are given
on the product installation drawing and
if required, more detailed information
regarding specic items may be obtained
