How does Guardian know what transmitter to read? The Guardian uses a focused field
How do I set the pressure switch to notify my Guardian that pressure is below the critical set point? The pressure switch needs to be set to the predetermined “critical pressure” where part quality or stability may be affected. If your system pressure is 4000 psi and there is a minimum pressure to make good parts at 3000 psi, it should be set to send an alarm just above the 3000 psi reading. Note: The pressure setter/checker will help measure pressure when falling. The switch is adjusted to break continuity at some level above 3000 psi in this example. It is unreliable to set the declining pressure by adjusting while pressure is rising. Likewise, it is not recommended that pressure is adjusted too close to the operating pressure as temperature fluctuation may cause a false loss of pressure signal (we recommend at least 300-500 psi allowable drop from the stable pressure after adiabatic fluctuation is stable.) Guardian Maintenance The entire Guardian system is designed to be nearly maintenance free. All of the units require no scheduled maintenance. The Fixture Transmitter and Machine Tool Receiver should be inspected occasionally to check for damage to the enclosures. If they are damaged, they should be replaced.
communications bubble to monitor a fixed area with limited dimensions. Typically, the focused area is the loading station or a known location within the interior of a machine tool enclosure. The Guardian Receiver is typically mounted toward the top of the enclosure pointed down toward the fixture and its transmitter. Once the fixture and transmitter enter the focused field it is actively monitored (As shown in the illustration). How do I “pair” a transmitter to receiver? The Guardian pallet pressure monitoring system does not need to be paired with the Fixture Transmitter. The focused field communication bubble engages once the components enter the focused field. This allows for simple addition of any fixture with a Guardian Fixture Transmitter. Why are the transmitters unpaired? The reason for “unpaired” transmitters is Guardian’s focused field technology. Rather than being limited to a maximum of 8/12/24 or 32 paired (or readable) units, the Guardian has unlimited reading rights to its unpaired Fixture Transmitters. Only one unit within the focused field can be read at one time, however thousands of transmitters may be brought into reading range over time WITHOUT the time, effort and inconvenience of “pairing.” After all, the basic function is not to see ALL the transmitters, only to WATCH the transmitter while in the machine or load station! What about battery failures? The Guardian Fixture Transmitter has no batteries, so you will never need to be concerned about battery replacement or maintenance. The Fixture Transmitter is powered by advanced energy harvesting technology. The Master Control Unit and Machine Tool Receiver are powered by their connection to the Machine Tool, so never any battery replacements.
