Usage of the Aloxy Pulse

Mounting the Aloxy Pulse to an industrial asset
The Aloxy Pulse is only intended for fixed installations and NOT for portable use. Always follow EN-IEC 60079-14, local regulations and local codes of practice when using the Aloxy Pulse.
The Aloxy Pulse can be attached to any (industrial) asset using a variety of attachment methods such as bolts, straps, magnets or glue. Following procedure must be followed precisely.
Step 1: Remove the Aloxy pulse device from the mounting bracket. To remove the Aloxy Pulse device from its mounting bracket, put a screwdriver or similar tool in the release slot to unlock the Aloxy Pulse device from the mounting bracket. Gently pull the device to the left side while holding the mounting bracket in position and keeping the screwdriver inserted in the release slot.

Step 2: Attach the mounting bracket to the asset
Depending on the type of asset and surface, the mounting bracket offers several options to attach, either directly using plastic / metal straps, bolts / screws (M5), magnets or glue, either by using an external metal bracket in between the mounting bracket and the asset surface.

CAUTION: Before sliding the Aloxy Pulse device in its mounting bracket after installation, ensure the mounting bracket is firmly attached on the asset and does not move when putting force in any direction.

NOTICE:When the Aloxy Pulse should measure a certain motion, for instance the motion of the hand wheel of a manual valve to monitor the valve’s position, make sure that the Aloxy Pulse device is attached to the moving part and follows the same motion as the part it is monitoring. No other motions are allowed after installing the sensor! The following installation examples ensure a correct fixation of the mounting bracket to the surface of an asset. Depending on the formfactor of the asset and the use-case, certain attachment methods are more suited than others. For instance, to monitor vibration, the Aloxy Pulse should be firmly attached to the surface of the asset to follow the same vibration pattern, hence, options using glue or clips are not well suited.

Installation using double straps (metal or plastic) on a tube- or bar-shape surface:

This method ensures good, non-intrusive fixation of the Aloxy Pulse to an asset suitable for instance for movement detection and vibration monitoring. Typical applications are manual valve position monitoring by attachment to a valve lever or a spoke of the valve wheel, vibration monitoring of a tube, asset tracking, etc.
For cable tie use for instance:
ALOXY article ID: 43361.186.047
CABLE TIE PLASTIC POLYAMIDE (NYLON) 6.6 UV-RESISTANT 186X4.7

Installation using a generic external metal U-bracket on a U-clamp that can beattached around a tube-shape surface:

This method ensures good, non-intrusive fixation of the Aloxy Pulse to an asset suitable for instance for movement detection and vibration monitoring. Typical applications are manual valve position monitoring by attachment to a valve lever or a spoke or outer ring of the valve wheel, vibration monitoring of a tube, etc.

Installation using M5 bolts or screws on a flat surface:

Use M5 bolts or screws with a maximum head height of 4 mm, such as hexagon socket head (DIN 7984) cap screws with low head.
This method ensures excellent, but intrusive fixation of the Aloxy Pulse to an asset suitable for instance for movement detection and vibration monitoring. Typical applications are manual valve position monitoring by attachment to a flat valve lever or a flat spoke of the valve wheel, vibration monitoring of the surface of rotating equipment, asset tracking of mobile vehicles, attachment to a wooden surface, etc.
It is best to use the following bolts and nuts:

• LOW-BULB HEAD of max SCREW WITH HEXAGON SOCKET ISO 7380-1 STAINLESS STEEL A2 M5X10
• SELF-LOCKING HEXAGON NUT WITH PLASTIC WASHER DIN 985 STAINLESS STEEL (STAINLESS STEEL) A2 M5

Installation on a flat metallic surface using two magnets:

CAUTION: The magnet material has been specifically chosen to provide a long-term stable magnetic field. However, as with any magnet, care must be taken when handling the magnet assembly.

This method ensures good, non-intrusive, rather temporary fixation of the Aloxy Pulse to a flat metallic surface suitable for instance for movement detection and vibration monitoring. Typical applications are temporary vibration monitoring of a rotating equipment, temporary asset tracking, temperature monitoring around a motor, etc.

Installation on a surface using double sided foam sticker:

This method ensures fair, non-intrusive fixation of the Aloxy Pulse to a flat asset surface suitable for instance for movement detection and temperature monitoring. Typical applications are asset tracking, temperature monitoring around a motor, etc.

Installation using an external metal bracket on the spindle of a multi-turn valve:

This method ensures excellent non-intrusive attachment of the Aloxy Pulse to the handwheel of a multi-turn valve. A typical application is manual valve position monitoring of small multi-turn valves.

Installation using an external metal bracket on the spindle of a quarter-turn valve:

This method ensures excellent non-intrusive attachment of the Aloxy Pulse to the lever of a quarter-turn valve. A typical application is manual valve position monitoring of small quarter-turn valves.
Step 3: Slide the Aloxy Pulse device in its mounting bracket Position the Aloxy Pulse device on top of the mounting bracket slightly to the left-side so the hooks below the Aloxy Pulse device align within the mounting bracket (a). Slide the Aloxy Pulse device to the right-side until it locks in position (b). Check that the edges of the Aloxy Pulse device perfectly align with the edges of the mounting bracket.

To remove the Aloxy Pulse device again from its mounting bracket after installation, put a screwdriver or similar tool in the release slot to unlock the Aloxy Pulse device from the mounting bracket. Gently pull the device to the left side while keeping the screwdriver in the release slot.

PA6 general information| Thermoplastics used are non-reinforced polyamide, PA

We use the modern, semi-crystalline insulation material, polyamide, which is now an essential component in electrical engineering and electronics. It has long occupied a leading position and is authorized for use by the relevant approval authorities such as the CSA, KEMA, PTB, SEV, UL, VDE, etc. Polyamide has excellent electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties, even at high operating temperatures. Brief peak temperatures up to approximately 200°C are permitted as a result of heat aging stabilization. Depending on the type (PA 4.6, 6.6, 6.10, etc.), its melting point is in the region of 215°C to 295°C. Polyamide absorbs moisture from its surroundings, on average 2.8%. However, this moisture is not crystallization water in the plastic itself, but chemically bonded H2O groups in the molecular structure. This makes the plastic flexible and resistant to breakage, even at

temperatures as low as -40°C. As per UL 94, PA has a flammability rating of V2 to V0.

Rain cycle 102:18 Test duration:

After 0, 800, 1,600 and 3,200 hours exposed to UV (carousel) / weathering, the colour of the material is measured and expressed in the following scheme: Lab*:

L* (Brightness): 0 = black, 100 = white

a* (Colour): + = increased red, – = increased blue/green

b* (Colour): + = increased yellow, – = increased blue/purple

As the unexposed material is yellow, the value b and L are high. Tests show that weathering lowers b*, which is a typical reaction of the material under UV light (material tends to become yellowish with reduced “shining”), however, this effect is only minimal as the Aloxy material is already yellow. The material came from a bright colour to a more fade tone on the Greyscale of 2.5.

After testing there is no oil bleed out, no stickiness and no blooming after 3,200 hours of aging. As expected, there appear slight surface cracks, however the material stays intact with minimal impact on the shore.
