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.

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.
