EATON
LifeSense Wireless System Quick Setup Guide E-HOOV-II002-E July 2014
Safety Instructions
The Eaton LifeSense system utilizes unique hose and
fittings (U.S. Patent No. 7,555,936 and 8,183,872). Only the
specified LifeSense hose and fittings can be used in this
system. DO NOT use other Eaton hose and hose fittings
(e.g., Aeroquip, Weatherhead, or SEL), or hose and hose
fittings supplied by another manufacturer with this system.
Eaton hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (including
incidental and consequential damages) arising from breach
of contract, warranty, or tort (under negligence of strict
liability theories) should other Eaton hose and hose fittings,
or hose and hose fittings supplied by another manufacturer
be used interchangeably with this system, or in the event
that production, assembly, or installation instructions for
each specified component of Eaton LifeSense are not
followed.
WARNING
Failure to follow process and product
instructions and limitations could lead to premature hose
assembly failures, resulting in property damage, serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Eaton LifeSense is designed to provide
advance warning of impending failures due to fatigue and
external abrasion.
Eaton LifeSense is not designed to
provide advance warning of impending failure for every
failure mode
. For example, failures due to an improper
crimp profile or improper installation of the terminal end to
the application will not be alerted by LifeSense.
WARNING
Verify that the specified equipment is
depressurized before installing a hose assembly.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION. Do not permit
anyone to operate the LifeSense system unless they
have been properly trained and have read and thoroughly
understand this manual.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED SALES, ASSEMBLY,
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE. Do not permit anyone to
sell, assemble, install or service LifeSense hose assemblies
and system unless they have been properly trained.
WARNING
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
1. Install the hose assembly into the application utilizing
standard hose routing practices.
2. All wiring terminals should be properly insulated to prevent
short circuits. All terminals should be of insulation grip
design to provide a reliable connection and to prevent
terminal fatigue.
3. Terminals that are connected where moisture may be
present should be of a moisture resistant design. Molded
insulators for ring terminals should be used. Molded
connectors/ insulators are recommended for use with
blade or pin type terminals.
4. The wireless gateway/hose diagnostic unit (HDU) shall
be mounted in a location that is easily viewable by the
equipment operator.
5. Never add another circuit or splice to the LifeSense power
cable.
6. Never puncture power cable insulation with a probe to
verify voltage.
7. Exposed ring terminals for the power supply circuit should
be protected from the environment. Dielectric grease is
recommended to prevent corrosion.
