i-ALERT2 Application Guide 

 

 

26 of 64 

 

VERTICAL PUMP  

Vertical pumps can be instrumented with the i-ALERT2 device at the pump discharge head. See image below. Mount the 
device at the top of the discharge head where the LEDs are clearly visible.  

 

 

 

MIXERS  

Mixer configurations can vary widely so ITT does not recommend any single best location. Use good engineering judgment 
and knowledge of the machine design to appropriately locate the monitor. Nearer to the bearings and sources of potential 
vibration energy is best.  

VACUUM PUMPS 

ITT recommends monitoring the drive end bearing housing for vacuum pumps.
