MECON - Condition Monitoring In order to minimise the ownership costs of capital equipment, it is critical for the user to monitor and maintain the equipment once installed. Failure to do so will impact both on the mechanical integrity and economic performance of the installed equipment. Early diagnosis of potential equipment failure can result in considerable repair cost savings and crucially a reduction in unplanned downtime. Monitoring of pump energy consumption and system efficiency will bring visibility to pump wear, operating efficiency and highlight any system irregularities, all of which will help the user minimise energy consumption and reduce operating costs. The SPP condition monitoring systems can provide this level of security by detecting, analysing and evaluating key equipment performance: • Performance/Efficiency degradation • Bearing vibration levels • Bearing element damage • Bearing operating temperatures • Driver alignment condition • Residual unbalance • Cavitation

The system provides considerable exibility in the display and use of the diagnostic output: • Web based user configurable dashboard for live and trend data • Automatic notification of alerts by text or E-mail • Integration with existing telemetry and plc Systems • Local download of data to PC for detailed evaluation • Ethernet connection to Scada or SAP P.M systems Each condition monitoring system incorporates: • Wall mounted panel with GSM/GPRS digital modem • Pump bearing vibration sensors and up to 25m cable • Pump bearing temperature sensor, local display and up to 25m cable • Web based user...
