Overview
The MultiHop version of the Vibration Solutions Kit provides visual status of up to 40 Banner vibration and temperature sensors that
are wirelessly linked to the included DXM Wireless Controller. The added benefits of a MultiHop style Solutions Kit include longer
range capabilities by using repeater radios, wiring multiple sensors to a single radio, and more vibration information available per
sensor for advanced applications.
The program takes a data sample every five minutes from the vibration sensors and the software uses the raw data to detect
whether an asset is running, create a baseline of the four vibration characteristics (RMS Velocity 10-1000 Hz on Z and X axis and
RMS High Frequency Acceleration 1000-4000 Hz on Z and X axis), and generate warning and alarm thresholds for those
characteristics. Only data from an operational asset is used to create the baselines or thresholds and only that data is used to trigger
warnings or alarms. Data from assets that are not running/operational appear on the graphs but are not used in the analysis.
RMS Velocity
identifies asset imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and other low frequency machine issues.
RMS High Frequency Acceleration
is used to indicate early bearing wear issues.

This kit also requires a 24 V DC Class 2 (UL) or a Limited Power Source (LPS) (CE) power supply that is sold separately. Banner
recommends model
PSW-24-1
(FCC/CE) or model
PSD-24-4
(FCC/CE) if you are powering additional indicator lights.
Getting Started
1. Connect and plug in the 24 V DC Class 2 or LPS power supply to the Solutions Kit to apply power to the radios.
2. Assign sensor Modbus IDs (see
Assign Modbus IDs to the Sensors
on page 2).
3. Bind the radios to the kit (see
Bind a Node
on page 3).
4. Perform a site survey to confirm your signal quality (see
Perform a Site Survey
on page 3).
5. After a radio is bound with a sensor attached, the system begins sampling data to create a baseline for that sensor.
HMI Home Screen
Status icons represent groups of 10 assets for a total of 40 motors. Each icon is a color-coded indication of the status of vibration
warnings (yellow) or alarms (red), temperature warnings or alarms, wireless connection status (green), or out of sync (orange) within
that group.
The icon acts as a touch button that brings up the 10 individual icons that represent that assets’ status and acts as a touch button to
view that assets’ screen where detailed data viewing options are available (see
Vibration Node Group Screens
on page 3).
