<p>A rotational element monitoring process (700) utilizing a machine condition indicating sensor and monitoring device (100) adapted to a rotating machine (410). The process (700) monitors at least one operating characteristic of a rotating element of a rotating machine. The operating characteristics can include velocity (500), acceleration (500), temperature (600), etc. The process (700) establishes a baseline value (524, 624) for each operating characteristic. An alarm threshold (530, 630) is determined by either a predetermined percentage difference (540) or a predetermined quantified delta (640). The device establishes a measurement schedule (740) retaining the device in a sleep mode (740) and pulsing a condition investigation in accordance with a frequency. The frequency increases (742) when approaching or exceeding an alarm condition. The device (100) indicates an alarm condition by illuminating an alarm indicating light (220, 222, 224).</p> |
