Installation

This section details out the mounting procedure for sensor on to the machine and the procedure for inserting or replacing a battery in the device.
The X, Y and Z vibration axis of the device are as shown below in Figure 1.

Do not cause any strong mechanical impact to the device housing before, during or after installation.
Ensure the casing screws are tightened completely before starting the installation process. Failure to do so may cause harm and unexpected behavior.
Before performing any action on the mounting surface or machine, please ensure the environment is safe for human operation and only qualified personnel are operating.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer or contrary to the instructions in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Mounting Mechanism

Step 1:
Identify the position to be mounted on the machine.The device will need a surface area of 42 mm x 42 mm to be mounted. Clean the identified position by removing chipped  paint, dust, and grease from the surface. Any plant-approved cleaner along with wire brush or similar material can be used to clean the surface.
Step 2:
Using a strong industrial adhesive bonding agent such as Loctite HY 4070, apply the gel on to the mounting base accessory. Spread the gel evenly on to the mounting base  and place the base on to the cleaned mounting surface. Press and hold firmly against the mounting surface for 60 seconds.
Step 3:
Using a strong industrial adhesive bonding agent such as Loctite HY 4070, apply the gel on to device base. Spread the gel evenly on to the device base and place it on to the  mounting base attached to the machine surface. Press and hold firmly against the mounting base for 60 seconds.

Battery Assembly

Please ensure battery insertion/replacement is carried out in a safe environment by qualified personnel only.
While inserting the battery, please ensure they are inserted in the correct polarity as shown on battery and device.

The steps will describes the steps to be followed for assembling the battery into the casing.
vSensPro is powered from type C, 3.6V Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery. The battery is as shown in Figure 2.

Step 1:
Remove the four screws from the top cover as shown in Figure 3.

Step 2:
Open the top cover from the enclosure and pop the top board carefully and move it to the side.
Please make sure that you do not pull on the top board. Please refer Figure 4.

Step 3:
Insert the battery in the casing as shown in the Figure 5. Please ensure that their polarity is correct, the positive polarity comes at the top.

Step 4:
Place the top board back on top of the battery as shown in the Figure 6.

Step 5:
Put the top cover of the casing and fix the screws tightly as shown in Figure 7.

Operation

The operation and deployment architecture of vSensPro is shown in the Figure 8. vGateway connects with multiple vSensPro to collect the data either intermittently every  burst interval or continuously depending on the operating mode. The data collected by the vGateway can be sent to any server/cloud network via Wifi or Ethernet. vGateway  publishes the data on to a MQTT broker and this data can be further used for visualizations, alerts and analytics. The user can enable the sensor and get the  required data from sensor by following the manual of applicable vGateway.
Please contact your Vegam representative for further assistance on setting up the device.
