BETWEEN BEARINGS PUMP
On between bearings pumps, it is recommended to mount i-ALERT2 monitors to both bearing housings. If only one device is
to be installed on a pump, then it should be installed on the bearing housing that contains the thrust bearing. Note, that
this is not always the drive end bearing housing. Be sure to check the pumps cross sectional drawing to verify location of
the thrust bearing.
