i-Alert2 Pump Monitoring Success Stories
i-Alert Equipment Health Monitors - condition sensors, pressure sensors along with the new i-ALERT Gateway offer class-leading continuous machine monitoring of vibration and temperature with comprehensive wireless reporting. With this system, you can:
- Monitor the equipment health of any rotating machine such as pumps, motors, fans, and more.
- Solve Problems with advanced vibration diagnostic tools - available to anyone who can use a smart phone or tablet.
- Remotely Monitor with 24/7 Continuous operation, Plug and Play Configuration (Auto-detect) and a typical Range of 30-100m (100-300ft.
- Bluetooth connect to track tri-axial vibration, tri-axial kurtosis, temperature, and run-time hours 24/7/365. Wirelessly sync data to the i-ALERT mobile app via Bluetooth Smart enabled devices. Check every five minutes and receive alarms if the equipment is outside normal operating conditions. Visually alert users and wirelessly broadcast an alarm message.
