The HID Condition Monitoring solution is an end-to-end vibration and temperature monitoring system, which includes monitoring hardware, data transmission hardware, cloud storage, analytics, alerting, and user interface/ visualization. The condition monitoring solution leverages bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacon technology to provide continuous visibility and long battery life. The BEEKs CM v2 beacon has a high-bandwidth accelerometer that takes vibration readings once every two minutes (default setting, configurable) and transmits data to Bluzone cloud (through gateways, may be AC BluFi or DC BluFi) where it is stored and analyzed.
The following sections walk through basic setup and installation, policy configuration, Bluzone UI navigation, vibration background and theory, deployment troubleshooting, and advanced configuration.
To get started, use the PDF Installation Guide and walk through the steps from start to finish. This will take you through everything from account creation to hardware provisioning to physical installation. After the installation is complete, for more detailed information on policy setup, navigating Bluzone, and advanced configuration, see Sections 2-6 below. If you run into issues with connectivity during or after the installation, refer to the troubleshooting pages in Section 4.
The following are links for the installation guide/ tutorial, as well as some additional details on epoxy and mounting recommendations:
Bluzone's Policy feature allows you to create custom alerting for the beacons. After you have successfully configured and installed beacons and BluFi, you can create policies that automatically analyze data and send notifications. The following policies in Bluzone are useful with the BEEKs CM v2 beacon:
The following tutorials show some of the features of Bluzone that are helpful for condition monitoring with the BEEKs CM v2 beacon:
If provisioning of a BluFi is unsuccessful or if connectivity issues persist after deployment, please refer to the following guidelines:
The default configuration settings given in the installation guide are suitable for most applications of monitoring rotating or reciprocating machinery, especially when using the Policies available in Bluzone. If, however, you have a custom application that requires different configuration settings, you may be able to configure the hardware to the desired settings by using the following tutorials:
DC Battery BluFi Antenna Configuration: change the DC BluFi antenna direction and gain
