Armstrong AD5000 Intelligent Monitoring is a wireless technology designed to monitor acoustic patterns associated with leaking gases and high-pressure fluids. The AIM™ AD5000 is the ideal solution to identify leaking isolation or safety relief valves. Identifying the source quickly can reduce the use of flares to burn off product and the costly fines that may be associated with it. Instant notification helps to minimize material and production loss. Ultimately, the AD5000 can help cut down on environmental fines, reduce product recirculation, and improve safety by instantly identifying the leak source.

Using non-intrusive technology combined with WirelessHART, the AIM™ AD5000 is the ideal solution for any temporary or permanent 24/7 acoustic monitoring.

Installation Guidelines

WARNING

Explosion Hazard: Do not open when an explosive dust atmosphere is present. Use only Tadiran TLH-5920 batteries. The enclosure contains aluminum and is considered a potential risk of ignition by impact or friction.

• Waveguide Placement: Place the Waveguide at a distance no greater than 6" (15 cm) from the valve body.

• Mounting: Assemble the bracket on the discharge pipe and tighten the screws to a torque of 25 ft/lb (34 N-m).

• Heat Sink: Install the heat sink if the pipe surface temperature exceeds 200°C (400°F). Do not install on surfaces exceeding 315°C (600°F). Ensure the concave side of the heat sink faces upward.

• Stem Installation: Carefully thread the acoustic node stem into the Waveguide. Tighten to a torque of 20 ft/lb (16 N-m) and tighten the locknut.
