1.1. Safety Information
Connecting Utilities
CAUTION: To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the
equipment and adherence to existing laws and
regulations, only qualified personnel should make
utility connections. Pall Corporation requires that
certified electricians complete all wiring connections
and that qualified personnel, working with Pall
Technology Services representatives if possible,

and/or installations!
1.2. Pall System Components
Pall Corporation is supplying a system comprised of WiFi Gateways, Filter Nodes, and
Fluid Interfaces to monitor the health of the hydraulic fluid within the system. Filter Nodes
and Fluid Interfaces monitor the state of the fluid directly through attached sensors, and
report wirelessly to the Wi-Fi Gateway. The Gateway then relays the system state through
the cloud to the backend application which monitors and controls the Filter Node and Fluid
Interface operation.
All external sensors along with associated cables for connecting the sensors to Filter Nodes
and Fluid Interfaces are supplied as part of the system. Power supplies and associated
cables are not supplied as part of the system and are the responsibility of the customer.
