Place a small magnet on the condition monitor over the ITT logo and then remove it, as this example
shows.

Magnet

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.

Condition Monitor routine operation

Measurement interval

This table shows the measurement intervals for the condition monitor during normal operation and when
the monitor is in alarm mode.

Mode

Measurement interval

Normal operating mode

Five minutes

Alarm mode

Two minutes

When the condition monitor measures a reading beyond the specified temperature and vibration limits, the
appropriate red LED flashes. 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

When the condition monitor is in alarm mode, 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 accidentally activate or
deactivate the condition monitor resulting in improper alarm levels or loss of monitoring.
