Product description
Treon Industrial Node is a wireless battery- operated sensor device for
condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. It measures tri-axial
vibration and surface temperature of rotating equipment, such as pumps, motors
and compressors. Abnormal machine vibrations or high temperatures may give
early signs of failure due component imbalance, misalignment, wear or improper
use of equipment.
Treon Industrial Node 6 Ex variant is designed for vibration and temperature
monitoring of rotating equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Treon Industrial Node operates in a mesh network transmitting sensor values
directly or via other nodes to a gateway, such as Treon Gateway. Typically,
the data is sent from the gateway to a cloud backend for storage and further
analysis.
Once the node is switched on, it starts automatically to measure and transmit
data at pre-confi gured intervals. Depending on confi guration Treon Node can
send raw vibration data and/or pre-calculated values, such as RMS velocity,
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) and Kurtosis, to the cloud via the gateway.
When using the device in potentially hazardous environment
Failure to follow the instructions in this guide could result in a serious
personal injury and property damage and may void warranty. Read this guide
carefully before installing or using the device. Save the guide for future
reference.
When installed, the sensor must be grounded to the machine.
Treon disclaims all responsibility for work done by untrained and unauthorized
personnel.
These are the personnel requirements for Ex-approved products in potentially
explosive atmospheres:
- All users must know about the risks of electric current and the chemical and physical characteristics of the gas and/or vapor present in hazardous areas.
- The installation for Ex-approved products must be made in conformity to theinternational or national standards (IEC/ EN 60079-17).
Treon Industrial Node 6 Ex is certifi ed for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres.

Mounting the Node
equipment, it is important to consider the location of the sensor and the
contact between the sensor and the equipment. Best location to attach the
sensor depends on the machine and the monitored vibration source.
For best measurement quality, the contact surface in the machine should be
completelyfl at (within 1 mil), smooth (surface texture no greater than 32
microinches) and larger than the base of the node. It’s recommended that nodes
are mounted via a drilled and tapped hole directly to the machine housing.
In cases where the surface of the machine is curved or uneven, epoxy must be
used between the machine surface and the node. Screwing the node to curved
surface may lead to the node bolt twisting and permanent damage to the device.
When installed in a potentially hazardous area, the sensor must be installed
in such a way that it is grounded or connected by electrostatic dissipative
adhesive to the machine surface. Grounding can be achieved by mounting the
device directly to machine body by tap and drill. Electrostatic dissipative
adhesive must be used when sensor is mounted using glue mount adapter or
magnetic epoxy mount adapter. Paint must be removed from machine surface
before adhesive mounting. For more information, contact support@treon.fi.
CASE 1
Attach node directly to machine surface
Direct attachment between the Industrial Node and machine surface minimizes
the vibration transmission route for best measurement qual- ity. It requires a
fl at surface of 32mm diameter and hole for M8 bolt with 18.5mm of threading.
- Clean the machine surface and apply silicon grease on it.
- Apply service removable thread lock to the sensor bolt.
- Insert the bolt into a M8 hole in the machine.
- Screw the node with 30mm torque wrench to 8 newton meters torque.
CASE 2
Attach node with nut adapter
Using a nut adapter enables attaching the Industrial Node to a spot with less
available space in diameter, shorter M8 opening with less threading and with
additional epoxy to uneven surface. It requires a nut adapter, fl at surface of
25mm diameter, hole for M8 bolt with 9.5mm of threading and optional epoxy.
-
Clean the surfaces between node and adapter and apply silicon grease on it.
-
Screw the adapter nut to the sensor bolt.
-
Tighten the nut to 8Nm torque.
Without epoxy -
Clean the machine surface and apply silicon grease on it.
-
Apply service removable thread lock to the sensor bolt.
-
Insert the bolt into a M8 hole in the machine.
-
Screw the node with 22mm torque wrench to 8 newton meters torque.
With epoxy
4. Apply Epoxy to nut adapter surface.
5. Insert the bolt into a M8 hole in the machine.
6. Hand tighten the sensor.
7. Let the epoxy harden.
CASE 3
Attach node with epoxy or glue mount adapter
Using epoxy or glue mount adapter enables attaching Industrial Node without an
opening for a bolt. With epoxy mount adapter the Industrial Node can also be
attached to slightly uneven surface while glue mount adapter requires an even
surface. Required surface diameter is 32mm.
- Clean the surfaces between node and adapter and apply silicon grease on it.
- Screw the mount adapter to the sensor bolt.
- Tighten the nut to 8Nm torque.
- Apply epoxy or glue to adapter surface.
- Place the node to the correct position on the machine.
- Let the epoxy or glue harden.
Aligning the node
For accurate interpretation of the measurement data, the centerline of the
node is often aligned with the shaft of the rotating machine. This can be done
by manually aligning the node with the shaft.
Manual alignment requires using the epoxy or glue mount adapter. After
applying the fi xative and hand tightening the sensor to the machine, align the
node axis directly toward drive or nondrive end of monitored machine. Turn the
node only clockwise.
Switch on the node
Press and hold the power button until the status light turns green. If you
want to switch off the node, press the power button until the status light
turns red.
Check the connection
To see if the node is connected to the gateway:
1. Press the power button briefl y. The status light turns green and goes off .
2. If the status light then turns green again, the node is connected.
CONNECTED
If the status light turns red, the node is not yet connected.
NOT CONNECTED
In case the node is not connected, the Gateway has been powered on and the node has hadtime to establish the connection, the node may be too far from the gateway or surroundings are blocking the radio connection. In either case, the gateway needs to be moved closer to the node or an additional routing node can be added between the node and the gateway to help routing the data.
Read the Node ID
The identifi cation number of the node is printed on the sticker attached to the node, and it can be as well read from the QR code.
You can also use a NFC reader, such as an NFC-enabled mobile phone to read the identifi cation number: switch on NFC on the reader and touch the top of the node with the reader.
Use only Ex certifi ed devices in potentially hazardous environments.
