PERFORMANCEWhy use valuable manpower to collect vibration data onhealthy machines? Why settle for measurements once amonth when you can have them multiple times daily? Whyhave people venture into unsafe areas to collect routinemeasurements? Echo Wireless Vibration Sensors cansafely “look” at the machine’s health several times per dayand provide immediate notification when warning or criticallevels are reached. This frees up technical experts, likecertified vibration analysts, for higher value tasks such asfault analysis.The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor and the EchoPlus Wireless Junction Box make the set of overall vibrationmeasurements, listed below, that provide early warningof most common machine faults. In addition to thesemeasurements, Echo provides accurate battery status.Using a user-programmable vibration threshold, Echo can detect if the machine is not running and if not, skip ameasurement to conserve battery power.2HIGHLIGHTS Easily integrates with legacy vibration and plantmonitoring systems via Modbus Transmits long distances, eliminatingexpensive cable runs Runs standalone or with junction box Stores data in ODBC format Requires no repeaters, gateways, or mesh

SIX PRIMARYMEASUREMENTS RMS Velocity: RMS Velocity is the average of all velocityvalues captured within the sampling window and identifieslow frequency faults such as unbalance and misalignment.Peak Velocity: Peak Velocity is RMS Velocity multipliedby 1.414 and identifies low frequency faults such asunbalance and misalignment.RMS Acceleration: RMS Acceleration is the average of allacceleration values captured within the sampling windowand identifies high frequency faults such as broken rotorbars in electric motors.Peak Acceleration: Peak Acceleration is RMS Accelerationmultiplied by 1.414 and identifies high frequency faultssuch as broken rotor bars in electric motors.True Peak Acceleration: True Peak Acceleration is thehighest acceleration value captured within the samplingwindow and identifies high-frequency, impulsive faultssuch as rolling element bearing defects and some geardefects.Crest Factor: Crest Factor is the ratio of True Peak to RMSAcceleration and is used as an indicator of fault severitywith caution.3

Echo has anLED that provides visual feedback on the status of the sensor,including: on, off, measuring, transmitting or changingstates. The sensor has an embedded magnetic switch andcan be activated or deactivated by holding a strong magnetnext to the sensor. Upon activation, the sensor makes andtransmits a set of measurements.The Echo Wireless Vibration Sensor is also offered in ahazardous area certified variation (CSA approval of 916 MHzversion only.) Model CS670A01 can be used in hazardousarea requiring Class 1, Division 2 certification. The modelcan be used in hazardous applications, such as oil wellheads,for remote wireless vibration monitoring on these machines.4WIRELESS JUNCTION BOXThe EchoPlus Wireless Junction Box is an 8-channeljunction box that instantly converts installed industrialsensors to wireless operation. This incredibly economicaldevice periodically powers each sensor, makes the sameset of overall measurements and transmits them wirelessly.The default transmission interval is 8 hours, but it is userprogrammable. Additionally, it operates as a standardjunction box allowing full data collection with a portable datacollector at the box. It can be powered using either standard24 VDC or any battery between 6 and 13 VDC. The unit can beused by itself or in conjunction with an existing junction boxby simply jumping wires between them.The EchoPlus Wireless Junction Box is also offered in ahazardous area certified variation (CSA approval of 916MHz version only). Model CS672A01 can be paired withhazardous certified ICP accelerometers for wirelessvibration transmission in hazardous areas requiringClass I, Division 2 certification. When combined with anappropriate intrinsic safety barrier, the EchoPlus canbe used in applications such as refinery pumps, fans,motors and gas compressors to trend and alarm machinevibration levels.

Using an ultra-narrowbandwidth filter with Extended Range RF (ERRF) technology,it has unprecedented -145 dBm sensitivity and can detect anddecode RF signals as low as about a millionth of a billionth ofa milliwatt. This results in very long distance point-to-pointcommunications in plants, eliminating the need for repeatersor complicated mesh networks. Actual tests in a typical powerplant achieved successful signal transmission distances ofover 1200 ft (365 m) and even through buildings. Outdoortests have achieved transmission distances measured inmiles and transmissions are at only 0.75 mW ERP using verylittle battery power.6 dBi ANTENNA (868 & 916 MHz)MODEL 070A908 dBi ANTENNA (916 MHz ONLY)MODEL 070A915

The Echo Wireless Vibration Monitoring System is simplein design, easy to install, cost-effective and flexible inconfiguration. With over 400 points per receiver, the systemcan monitor over 3,500 points even within the same RFcoverage area. Outside the same coverage area, the numberis even higher. Stand-alone Echo Sensors and EchoPlus Junction Boxes can be mixed and matched as desired.EchoPlus provides a raw vibration output via cable to adata collector for detailed fault analysis.
