built-in battery and should be disposed of in accordance
with applicable battery disposal regulations. Batteries
should not be incinerated, unless suitable procedures
are followed and qualified handlers have taken
appropriate precautions. Exposure of these cells to
high temperatures or fire can cause the cells to vent
and/or rupture. These cells do not contain dangerous
substances. The reaction products are inorganic and
do not represent environmental hazards, once the
decomposition or neutralization process has terminated.
Disposal in Europe
Batteries for disposal should not be transported by air.
For road transport of dangerous goods ADR special
provision 636 and packing instruction 903a apply.
Disposal in US
Hazardous waste of spent batteries can be disposed
after they are first neutralized through an approved
secondary treatment prior to disposal. Disposal of
spent batteries should be performed by authorized,
professional disposal company, which has the
knowledge in the requirements of the Federal, the State
and the Local authorities regarding hazardous
materials, transportation and waste disposal. In any
case it is recommended to contact the local EPA office.
3 DESCRIPTION
The IPS Beacon is a cost effective means of
measuring the basic health of equipment. It is
designed to quickly convey the health of any
equipment it is attached to, based on vibration and
temperature measurements.
The IPS Beacon is a battery powered unit that offers the
ability to measure 3-axis vibration and temperature of
any equipment it is attached to. The IPS Beacon is
completely encapsulated including battery, electronics
and sensor packaged inside a 316L SS case. The IPS
Beacon also provides two LED indicator lights for a
quick visualization of equipment health.
3.1 Configurations
Base IPS Beacon unit is provided with preset factory
set points. Each unit also offers optional upgrades to
allow for data logging [see section 3.5 Take away memory module (TAM)], data downloads to a PC
format and unit configuration.
The IPS Beacon offers the ability to program alarm
levels for each of the vibration axes (see Figure 3: X-Y-Z axis orientation) and temperature values. If those
alarm levels are exceeded, the IPS Beacon will provide
a visual indication using the LED indicator lights and
also log the last alarm value for each of the data
parameters.
3.1.1 Factory preset alarm settings
The IPS Beacon comes pre-programmed with the
following default settings for the user-configurable
options:
