Mote Model 3 User Manual Mote Components: These instructions will reference specific components of the Mote as follows: 8
Mote Model 3 User Manual Before Getting Started 0.1 Confirm that your WiFi network has coverage in the machine areas. If possible, perform a brief site survey with a mobile device. 0.2 Prepare the appropriately sized pieces of 2-part steel-enforced epoxy. Each Mote requires a 2.5 – 3-gram piece of epoxy. Each tube of JB-Weld SteelStik will contain enough epoxy for approximately 20 Motes. 0.3 Document the allocation of your Motes very carefully.
Mote Model 3 User Manual Step 2. Prepare the machine surface 2.1 Identify a mounting location close to where the bearing is located on the machine. The ideal mounting location will be a rigid, flat surface. Avoid mounting on sheet metal covers, fins or other flimsy surfaces that are prone to rattle. 2.2 Use the rotary tool to strip the paint from the mounting location on the machine. 2.3 Apply Soap Water to a shop towel and wipe off any dirt or particles from the sanded mounting location.
Mote Model 3 User Manual Step 3. Mix the epoxy 3.1 Wearing rubber gloves, knead one piece of 2-part steel-enforced epoxy thoroughly in your hand until the color is uniform. Ensure that the epoxy is in good condition (firm and slightly moist, not too hard or crumbly). Once the epoxy is mixed, you will need to apply it to the Mote quickly or it will start to harden. 3.2 Roll epoxy into a 2-3 inch strip, then form a ring on the bottom of the Mote mount.
Mote Model 3 User Manual Step 4. Mount the Mote 4.1 Place the Mote on the mounting location with the Petasense logo facing the closest machine shaft. Press down firmly for 15-20 seconds. Note: It is important that the Mote is mounted with the Petasense logo facing the direction of the machine’s shaft for orientation purposes 4.2 Visually check that the epoxy is only bonding to the base of the Mote, not touching the knurled S-ring above the mount.
