The Flowserve IPS Beacon is a data acquisition, logging and visual alert device that monitors process pump health.
Mounted atop the pump bearing housing, the intrinsically safe Beacon checks power-end vibration (x-y-z axis) and temperature against pre-set limits, logging this data with a time and date stamp when an alert situation occurs.
In addition, the Beacon is designed so that it can be transformed from a local monitoring and alert device to a remote warning system by integrating it into an IPS Wireless Series 103 multi-point device.
With this integration, the IPS Beacon sensor data can be sent “wirelessly,” allowing the user instant access to information without having to be at the pump. For compatible IPS Insight Software, .
