i-ALERT2 Application Guide 26 of 64
VERTICAL PUMP
Vertical pumps can be instrumented with the i-ALERT2 device at the pump discharge head. See image below. Mount the
device at the top of the discharge head where the LEDs are clearly visible.
MIXERS
Mixer configurations can vary widely so ITT does not recommend any single best location. Use good engineering judgment
and knowledge of the machine design to appropriately locate the monitor. Nearer to the bearings and sources of potential
vibration energy is best.
VACUUM PUMPS
ITT recommends monitoring the drive end bearing housing for vacuum pumps.
