b) If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately and correct

the problem.
A pump can exceed normal levels for several reasons. See Troubleshooting for
information about possible solutions to this problem.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pump runs properly.

Activate the i-ALERT™ Condition Monitor

WARNING:
Never heat the condition monitor to temperatures in excess of 300°F (149°C). Heating to these
temperatures could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION:
Always wear protective gloves. The pump and condition monitor can be hot.

NOTICE:
Do not use the condition monitor in atmospheres containing acetic acid.

The condition monitor is ready for activation when the pump is running and has reached a
steady flow, pressure, and temperature. This process only takes a few minutes.
1. Place a small magnet on the condition monitor over the ITT logo and then remove it, as this

example shows.

When the condition monitor is activated it:

1. Displays a series of red LEDs followed by a solid green LED.
2. Collects eight samples that are spaced one second apart.
3. Averages these readings to establish the baseline vibration level.
4. Flashes a green LED after approximately twelve seconds.

For the first ten minutes, the green LED flashes every second for five consecutive flashes
and then pauses to take a vibration reading. More frequent measurements (every six
seconds) are taken in this startup period so that an alarm can be immediately detected.
