5.2 Connecting to IPS Beacon unit
Required hardware:
PC with USB adapter and
VB-101-DOCK
Required software
utility:
DockTalk configuration utility
Disconnect the PUM or TAM from the IPS Beacon
while at the equipment in the field to assure no
erroneous data is taken during transport. Next,
remove the IPS Beacon from the equipment and take
it to the VB-101 Dock in a general purpose area
classification. If you do not have a Dock, refer to
section 8 Parts List and Drawings, for the Flowserve
part number to obtain one.
For details on connection to the Dock, refer to the
Dock IOM (PCN 26999975)
5.3 Setting alarm set points
The IPS Beacon unit can have high alarm levels
programmed for each data parameter. When the
alarm level threshold is exceeded for any data
parameter, the IPS Beacon unit will flash the red LED
indicator light. (See Table 2: LED indicator lights
description with PUM installed, for more detail.)
To program alarms, refer to Dock IOM (PCN
26999975).
5.4 Setting time and date on IPS Beacon
unit
The date and time on the IPS Beacon unit can be set
to ensure accurate timestamps when viewing data
from the unit.
For details, refer to the Dock IOM (PCN 26999975).
5.5 Reloading factory configuration
To reload the original factory configuration into the
IPS Beacon unit you will need a copy of the original
CSV configuration file for your particular unit. You
may have a copy of this file from an earlier saved
version that was exported from the IPS Beacon
software utility or you may contact the Flowserve
factory to obtain a copy of this file.
For details, refer to the Dock IOM (PCN 26999975).
