1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to help prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. For products used in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4 also applies.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER (Lock out.)
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment is required when handling these components. To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane appropriate for the mass and in accordance with current local regulations.
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres
Measures are required to:
Avoid excess temperature
Prevent buildup of explosive mixtures
Prevent the generation of sparks
1.7 Specific machine performance
For performance parameters see section 1.5 Duty conditions. Where performance data has been supplied separately to the purchaser these should be obtained and retained with these User Instructions if required.
2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Make sure that hazardous substances are disposed of safely and that the correct personal protective equipment is used. The safety specifications must be in accordance with the current local regulations at all times.
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be checked against the delivery/shipping documents for its completeness and that there has been no damage in transportation. Any shortage and/or damage must be reported immediately to Flowserve and must be received in writing within ten days of receipt of the equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.

The IPS Beacon unit includes a 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.

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:
