Power Requirements
Predict-Plus must be powered by 3 Energizer Ultimate Lithium® AA Batteries. Under standard
operating conditions of 1-2 Predict-Cloud uploads per day and a sampling frequency of 5 minutes, the
rated battery life of Predict-Plus 3.0 is 1 year. Do no use AA batteries other than Energizer Ultimate
Lithium® due to potentially inadequate voltage and dramatically shortened battery life.

3. Device Initiation
Connect Battery Assembly or Power Cable using
correct power requirements (details in Power
Requirements).
The LED Indicator will flash sharply on and off
indicating the device is powered on and attempting to
connect to the server. When the LED Indicator begins
to flash on and fade off (heartbeat), it has successfully
connected to the server and you can view your device
in the Predict Cloud. Please note, all Predict Plus
devices ship activated and ready to connect.
Predict Cloud Navigation
The Predict Cloud can be accessed via a web browser or the mobile app. When accessing via a web
browser, use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Apple Safari. The Predict-Cloud
website does not support Internet Explorer. The mobile app can be downloaded in the Apple App Store
or the Google Play Store. Search Predict Cloud, download, and sign in with your user credentials.
The Predict-Cloud main dashboard shows a map view of your devices and a list of the accounts you can
access. By clicking on an account, you can view a list of the devices under that account. From this
dashboard screen you can select which account to view (1), select which device to view (2), and search
by device ID number (3).
By clicking on an individual Predict-Plus unit, you can view
equipment data and interact with the features of that specific
device. Each device has 3 tabs used for navigating the various
features; Main, Reports, and Setup.
•Under the Main tab, the General Data, Alerts and
Runtime, Advanced FFT, Installation Properties, and
Configuration pages can be found.
•Under the Reports tab, the Email History, SMS History,
and Scheduled Reports pages can be found.

•Under the Setup tab, the General, Ver & Comm,
Firmware & Template, and Service pages can be found.
Main
General Data
The General Data page features the Overall RMS Vibration, Temperature, and RPM trend graphs. All
trend graphs within the Predict-Cloud can be interacted with in the ways detailed below:
By default, the device will display data from the past week of operation, but this date range can be
expanded using the From: and To: date boxes. Data can also be inspected closer by clicking and dragging
to highlight a specific data range. When a datapoint is hovered over with the cursor, the exact values of
that sample will be shown in a small window along with the exact timestamp. By clicking the Options
button, additional graph interaction tools can be accessed. By inputting Y Axis values into the Lower and
Upper boxes, a boundary condition can be created for easy visual indication of good operation conditions.
To have this boundary displayed in the trend graph, check the Show Boundaries box and click the Save
button (Note: the RMS trend graph is the only trend graph with a boundary condition feature). By
clicking the 3 vertical lined icon in the upper right of the trend box, a drop-down menu will be displayed
with options to view the graph in full screen, print the current graph selection, and export the current
selection in a variety of formats.

Alerts and Runtime
The Alerts and Runtime page features an Alerts Setup table for Temperature and all 3 axes of RMS
vibration as well as a Runtime bar graph and an RPM trend graph.
The Temperature alert can be set by clicking the Temperature field of the table which will open a setup
window. Within that window the specific temperature to trigger an alert can be set. Each alarm can be
set to notify specific users on the account with two levels of escalation for each user. From the Alert
Setup menu, users can be selected to receive minimum and maximum threshold notifications. From the
Select Users menu, two levels of escalation can be set per user so long as SMS notifications are enabled.
When the initial user receives a text notification, they will be given the option to acknowledge or escalate.
Please note that in order for text alerts to function properly, the mobile number of the user must be
preceded by a +1 country code.
The RMS Baseline alert requires a different setup. Rather than using a fixed threshold, the RMS alerts are
triggered based on a percentage change from baseline. The baseline can be manually set from the Alerts

Quick Start Guide Page 8 of 14
Setup table, or the baseline can be automatically created using the Baseline Auto Learning feature on the
Installation Properties page. This feature setup will be addressed later under the Installation Properties
section.
If manually setting the baseline for an RMS alert, input the vibration baseline value in the Value field and
click the Save icon. To set the alert itself, click the Parameter field for the axis you are setting to open the
Grid Alerts window. Enter the percentage change value to trigger the alert (e.g. to set the alert to trigger
if the vibration exceeds a 25% change from baseline, input 25 into the Max Threshold field). Select the
users and escalations to receive this alert via the Select Users button. When finished, click OK to close
the window and save the threshold settings.
Note: the TOTAL RMS alert is the sum of the 3 axis baselines, not an average of all 3.
Advanced FFT
The Advanced FFT page serves to display harmonic orders of the equipment’s operating frequency.
Because these harmonic orders are tracked over time, a user can examine how vibration in different
frequencies is changing, aiding in diagnosing faults as the begin to persist. Each axis is displayed
individually for more accurate diagnosis. By default, the harmonic orders plotted are 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, and
5X the operating frequency of the equipment.

Installation Properties
The Installation Properties page features a table for users to input notes on the equipment the Predict-
Plus device is stored on for reference and context when examining the device. This page also contains
the Baseline Auto Learning trigger setup and a Pump Orientation adjustment feature.
The equipment notes table can be edited by clicking the Edit User Text icon in the top banner and
clicking the Edit button below the table. Within the Grid Edit window, the free text spaces can be edited
as the user desires. In order to safe the free text, click save in the Grid Edit window and then click the
Save User Text icon in the top banner.
The Baseline Auto Learning trigger can be set via the drop-down field. This feature will trigger the
Predict-Plus device to log and average the vibration levels in each axis for a specified time range after the
next upload window. Using the drop-down field, select the range of time for the baseline to average and
click the Save icon.
The Pump Orientation adjustment feature can be set by selecting horizontal or vertical orientation from
the drop-down field and clicking save. Upon the next upload time, the device will adjust axes and
orientation diagrams within the Predict-Cloud accordingly.
Configuration
From the Configuration page, upload times, sample rate, and power mode can be set. These settings are
set to a default and should not be adjusted without consulting DXP. When these defaults are changed,
the battery life is subject to change and can no longer be certified with a 1 year life.
Also found on the Configuration page is the Battery Life graph and the setup for background filtering.
Predict-Plus has a filtering feature that allows the device to disregard vibration coming from other
equipment or feedback through the system. This is especially useful in situation where multiple assets
are mounted in close proximity or feeding into a common process. By setting these filters correctly, we
get the most accurate data reported to the cloud.
