Banner's VT1 vibration sensors work on a variety of machines to provide vibration and temperature measurements to effectively monitor and predict when maintenance of critical equipment is needed. Benefits - Delivers pre-processed high-accuracy vibration values for monitoring rotating equipment such as: - Motors - ◦ Pumps - Rotary compressors - ◦ Exhaust or HVAC fan motors - Spindles - Easy-to-use rugged device that can be easily mounted to equipment - • Use with the DXM Wireless Controller to track and trend vibration characteristics in real time to predict the need for maintenance, potential component failure, and to avoid unplanned downtime - Eliminate control wires —the Sure Cross wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/ O that removes the need for power and control wires - Reduce complexity —machine or process reconfiguration made easier, great for retrofit applications - Deploy easily —simplify installation on existing equipment to enable deployment in remote and hard-toaccess locations where implementing a wired solution would be difficult, impractical or not cost-effective - Battery-powered for "peel and stick" functionality with 2+ years of battery life - Selectable transmit power levels of 250 mW or 500 mW for 900 MHz models and 65 mW for 2.4 GHz models - DIP switches for user configuration of alarm levels - Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery - Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the Gateway and Node, including fully acknowledged data transmission - Diagnostics allow user-defined output settings in the unlikely event of a lost radio signal ## Models Model Radio Frequency Description DX80N9Q45VT 900 MHz ISM Band Must be paired with QM30VT1 Vibration and Temperature Sensor (sold separately) ## General Operation For the first 15 minutes after power up, the Node samples the sensor every two seconds (fast sample mode). After 15 minutes, the Node defaults to 5-minute sample intervals. Activate fast sample mode by single-clicking the button (the amber LED is solid). - The amber LED on the front of the Q45 Node flashes when the vibration threshold limit set in I/O 1 is met. To minimize false vibration triggering, two consecutive samples must be above the threshold before the output condition is satisfied. - The red LED on the front of the Q45 Node flashes when the temperature threshold limit set in I/O 4 is met. Only one reading above the established threshold is required to trigger this alert. Set the vibration thresholds using the DIP switches or using the DX80 Performance Configuration Software to define the Threshold parameter. The DIP switch vibration thresholds were determined using the guidance of Vibration Severity per ISO 10816. The default setting for the temperature threshold is 80 °C. Change the temperature threshold using the software and defining the Threshold parameter. - Class I: Small (up to 15 kW) machines and subassemblies of larger machines. - Class II: Medium-size (15 kW to 75 kW) machines without special foundations, or machines up to 300 kW rigidly mounted on special foundations. - Class III: Large rotating machines rigidly mounted on foundations that are stiff in the direction of vibration measurement. - • Class IV: Large rotating machines mounted on foundations that are flexible in the direction of vibration measurement. ISO 10816 provides guidance for evaluating vibration velocity severity motors, pumps, fans, compressors, gearboxes, blowers, dryers, presses, and other machines that operate in the 10 to 1000 Hz frequency range.

- default setting ## Bind to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate the devices by two meters when running the binding procedure. Put only one Gateway into binding at a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway. 1. On the Gateway: Enter binding mode. - For housed DX80 Gateways, triple-click button 2 on the Gateway. Both LEDs flash red. 11-Oct-24 page 2 of 6 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. Q45VT Wireless Sensor Node (900 MHz) ◦For Gateway board modules, triple-click the button. The green and red LED flashes. 2. Assign the Q45VT a Node address using the Gateway's rotary dials. Use the left rotary dial for the left digit and the right rotary dial for the right digit. For example, to assign your Q45VT to Node 10, set the Gateway's left dial to 1 and the right dial to 0. Valid Node addresses are 01 through 47. 3. On the Q45: Loosen the clamp plate on the top of the Q45VT and lift the cover. 4. Enter binding mode on the Q45VT by triple-clicking the Q45VT's button. The red and green LEDs flash alternately and the sensor searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the Q45VT is bound, the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The Q45VT exits binding mode. 5. Label the sensor with the Q45VT's Node address number for future reference. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as many Q45VTs as are needed for your network. 7. On the Gateway: After binding all Q45VTs, exit binding mode. - For housed DX80 Gateways, double-click button 2. - For board-level DX80 Gateways, double-click the button. For Gateways with single-line LCDs: After binding your Q45VT to the Gateway, make note of the binding code displayed under the Gateway's *DVCFG menu, XADR submenu on the LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all Q45VTs if your Gateway is ever replaced. ## Q45VT Modbus Register Table These are the default data types that output from the QM30VT1 serial sensor, corresponding to inputs 1 through 6 of the Q45 Node. If necessary, configure the QM30VT1 output data types using the Sensor Configuration Software and adapter cable BWA-USB1WIRE-001 (datasheet 170020). Refer to the QM30VT1 datasheet (p/n 212568) for optional output data types with their corresponding I/O ranges and holding register representations.
