Construction of a valve-member monitoring system using wireless communication. The valve-member monitoring system is structured with operating-condition sensors (7) each attached to each of multiple steam traps (1) installed on a manifold. The manifold serves as a discharged condensate collecting pipe (2) in which condensate is discharged through the multiple steam traps. The valve-member monitoring system further includes a sensor controlling terminal device that is attached to the manifold or in the vicinity of the manifold and exchanges information by radio with a central control apparatus (8). In the valve-member monitoring system, the terminal device is connected to the operating-condition sensors each attached to each of the steam traps installed on the manifold with lead lines (10). This reduces time and effort required to determine which operating-condition sensors are to be connected to the terminal device, and therefore facilitates the construction of the valve-member monitoring system. |
