Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM) System detectors are designed to monitor industrial equipment for operating condition variances that can lead to breakdowns, increased maintenance costs and production stoppages.
The EHM devices monitor the steady state temperature, vibration and other characteristics of equipment and sound an alarm automatically when operating values drift from pre-defined settings. Ten detectors are available to monitor the following conditions: temperature loss, fluid flow, temperature rise, mechanical noise, fluid leak, mechanical wear, audible noise, vibration, tilt (slope change) and mechanical insertion. EHM detectors offer ease of installation, says the vendor. They are ready to be attached directly to equipment, and once set up, will begin monitoring for faults immediately.
