Device Preparation
For safety reasons, the device is shipped with the battery
disconnected. When you are ready to configure the device,
follow the steps below to reconnect the battery.
1. Use your hands to unscrew and remove the blue cover.
2. Remove the battery with the pull tab.
3. Locate the battery connector and plug it into the
socket on the device as shown.
4. Replace the battery. Tuck the wires against the battery
and lock them into place.
Quick Configuration
1. Locate the terminals for the communication port
on the opposite side of the device.
2. Connect a configuration device to the terminals such
as a computer running AMS Device Manager with a
HART™ modem or an AMS Trex Field Communicator
(shown below).
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to configure the
device. It is advisable to use the option for Guided
Setup. Individual parameters can be easily customized
later using AMS Device Manager after the device has
joined the wireless network.
4. After configuring the device, make sure to disconnect
the battery before replacing the cover. This not only
conserves battery power, but the battery will need to
be removed again when using the recommended field
installation method.
Field Installation
1. To stud mount the device (recommended),
prepare the machine surface using a spot face tool.
Then drill and tap a ¼-28” hole 0.25” (6.35mm) deep.
Alternately, a mounting pad with ¼-28” thread can be
glued in place using epoxy. (Consult the User Guide
for additional mounting options and instructions.)
2. With the cover still on the device, use your hand
to loosely screw the device into the threaded hole.
Do not tighten.
3. Remove the cover and battery.
4. Insert a small screwdriver through the guide hole in the
base of the unit (shown below) and use this to hold the
device in the desired orientation.
5. While maintaining the device orientation, use a 3/16”
ball driver to tighten the captive screw in the center
of the base (shown above) to 2-5 ft-lb.
6. Then connect and replace the battery.
7. Use your hand to replace and tighten the cover.
Shipping Considerations
Contact Emerson Product Support to obtain a Return
Materials Authorization (RMA) number and receive
additional instructions.
Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by

Battery Information
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses a standard battery.
For safety reasons, however, the unit was shipped to you with
the battery disconnected. You will need to connect the battery
before configuring and installing the device.
Replacing the battery
The battery may be replaced in hazardous locations.
Replace the battery only with Tadiran Part Number TL-4920/VE
or Emerson Part Number A0702PPU. Follow the instructions
in the User Guide for replacing the battery.
Installation Considerations
When choosing an installation location and position, consider
the need for access to the device. For best overall performance,
the device should be installed vertically. If it is necessary to
install the device horizontally pay special attention to the
network arrangement.
Installation in Hazardous Areas
The device is covered by a hazardous area rating. It is the
responsibility of the user to verify that the device has the
necessary approvals required for the intended area of use.
Warning: Installation in an explosive environment must be in
accordance with the appropriate local, national, and international
standards, codes, and practices. Please review this document for
any restrictions associated with safe installation.
Temperature Limits
As a safety precaution, the following limits must be observed
for ambient temperature:
1. Storage Temperature :–40 to 185 °F / –40 to 85 °C
2. Operating Temperature: –40 to 185 °F / –40 to 85 °C
General Notice
If the device has been exposed to a hazardous substance, a
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be included with the returned
materials. An SDS is required by law to be available to people
exposed to specific hazardous substances.

Wireless Certifications
Telecommunications compliance
All wireless devices require certification to ensure that they
adhere to regulations regarding the use of the RF spectrum.
Nearly every country requires this type of product certification.
Emerson works with governmental agencies around the
world to supply fully compliant products and remove the
risk of violating country directives or laws governing
wireless device usage.
Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU)
Emerson complies with the Radio and Equipment Directive.
FCC approvals
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to a radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
• This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna
separation distance of 20cm from all persons
