1 Introduction
1.1 Safety messages
Instructions in this manual may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the
personnel performing the operations.
This AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmful
interference, this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation of 20 cm from all
persons.
Refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by the
warning symbol:
WARNING
Failure to follow these installation guidelines can result in death or serious injury. Only
qualified personnel should install the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
•Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive environment, make sure the
instruments are installed in accordance with applicable field wiring practices.
•Verify that the operating environment of the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is
consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

1.2 Overview
The manual
This User Guide applies to the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor, a triaxial vibration
measurement device designed for use on a WirelessHART network.
Use this manual to install, operate, and maintain the device.
The monitor
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is an installation-ready solution that monitors
vibration and temperature in rotating equipment in hard-to-reach locations.
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor also provides a variety of monitor and sensor
configurations. It has built-in radio and four integral sensors:
•X and Y MEMS
•Z MEMS High Sensitivity, High Bandwidth (Vibration & PeakVue)
•Temperature sensor
The Z accelerometer has the highest bandwidth and is considered the primary sensor. The
temperature sensor is designed to measure the temperature near the mounting point
(i.e., the machine’s skin temperature).
Other features include:
•Support for up to 13 device variables with up to three user-configurable alerts for each
process variable. Any device variable can be configured as any process variable (PV, SV,
TV, QV).
•Support for storage of Waveform/Spectrum directly in AMS Machine Works
•Wireless output with >99% data reliability, delivering rich HART data, protected by
industry leading security (when operated as part of a well-formed network)
The device uses an off-the-shelf battery contained in the device which is easily removable
for device installation and replacement.

Device revision information
Revision Current level Description
Universal 7 This is the HART version the monitor supports.
Field device11 This is the major revision of the monitor and corresponds with a
major interface release.
When using AMS Device Manager, this revision can be found on
the screen title.
Software 43 This is the current software version.
The software may be occasionally modified to refine
functionality. When major functionality is added, the device
revision increases.
Hardware 1 This is the hardware revision.
DD 1 This is the Device Descriptor (DD) revision.
The device descriptor is primarily used for configuring devices in
the field.
1If you have an older device revision, a factory upgrade may be possible in some cases. Contact
Product Support for more information.
You can also view the revision information in AMS Device Manager and Trex
Communicator.

1.3 Considerations
General
Electrical vibration sensors, such as accelerometers, produce low-level signals proportional
to their sensed vibration. With simple HART configuration, the monitor converts the low-
level sensor signal to a wireless-enabled signal.
Commissioning
The monitor can be commissioned before or after installation. You can commission it on
the bench before installation to ensure proper operation and to be familiar with its
functions.
Make sure the instruments are installed in accordance with applicable field wiring
practices.
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor is powered whenever the battery is installed.
Installation
When choosing an installation location and position, provide ample access to the monitor.
The device should be mounted vertically, perpendicular to the shaft and on the bearing
case. Horizontal mounting is also an option. For more information, see Install the AMS
Wireless Vibration Monitor.
Battery
The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses an off-the-shelf Tadiran TL-4920/VE battery.
The battery comes with the device but it is not connected when the device is shipped. You
need to connect the battery before configuring and installing the device.
Environmental
The monitor operates within specifications for ambient temperatures between –40°F and
185°F (–40°C and 85°C).
Verify that the operating environment of the monitor is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous location certifications.
1.4 Return of materials
You may need to ship the device to an Emerson Product Service Center for return or
replacement in case of warranty issues. Before shipping, contact Emerson Product Support
to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number and receive additional
instructions.
