Installation and Commissioning
Before beginning the installation process:
• Warning: The device must only be installed by a competent person is someone who
has the necessary technical knowledge to inspect work equipment and plants that
require monitoring. This specialist knowledge can be gained through vocational
training, professional experience and recent professional activity.
• Warning: The asset the device is to be installed on must be in a safe condition before
installation can begin.
• Warning: Do not remove or replace the battery in a hazardous area.
• Warning: Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated
in the enclosure of this equipment may generate an ignition-capable level of
electrostatic discharge.
• Warning: The sensor shall not be installed in a location where the external conditions
are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces.
• Warning: Do not switch the device on or off or use any of the switches in the
hazardous area.
• Warning: Do not remove or replace the battery in the hazardous area.
• Warning: Installation in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices.
• The equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• The sensor shall be installed on an earthed metal frame.
• Verify the connectivity and strength of the cellular or Wi-Fi network to ensure that the
sensor will operate at the machine asset location before turning on the device. For
support contact your local Field Application Engineer at

• The battery comes with the device, but it is not electrically connected when the device
is shipped.
1. Use your hands to unscrew and remove the blue cover.
2. Remove the isolating paper tab.
3. To stud mount the device (recommended), properly clean the mounting surface. It
should be clean and free of any residue, paint, or other objects. (Consult the Operation
Manual for additional mounting options and instructions.)
4. Prepare a flat surface using a spot face tool and drill pilot hole for tapping
5. Tap for desired threading (1/4'' – 28 UNF or M8)
6. Install sensor using the stud or adapter stud (Sensata part number 6VW3-01 or 6VW3-
09).
7. Turn the device on by using the slide switch.
8. Use your hand to replace and tighten the cover.
Shipping Considerations
• Contact Sensata Product Support to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
number.
• The unit was shipped to you with the battery inside but isolated. Remove the isolating
paper tab to connect the battery. If returning the 6VW sensor, you may remove the
battery assembly prior to shipping and dispose of properly.
• Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation and are also covered by IATA (International Air Transport Association),
ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), and ADR (European Ground
Transportation of Dangerous Goods).
• It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local
requirements. Please consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.
